The Webinar on Not all circles are as they are painted took place on Saturday, October 14th, 2023 from 2 pm until 3 pm, with Pedro Morales-Almazan, Professor of Mathematics at the University of California, Santa Cruz, as our invited speaker. This virtual event was free and open to the general public.
The invited speaker explained that mathematics have the power to describe objects in a precise way. Pedro Morales-Almazan showed three examples of how mathematics allows us to expand our intuition: exploring the concept of prime numbers, the notion of holes and the definition of a circle as the set of points that are the same distance from a fixed point.
