Flayer    Program

The International Conference Faces of Geometry II edition has two purposes, equally important.

First, the intent of promoting interdisciplinary discussions and connections between theoretical researches and practical studies on geometric structures and its applications in architecture, arts, design, education, engineering, mathematics.

Indeed, we believe that these related fields of study might enrich each other and renew common interests on these topics through networks of common inspirations.

We invite researchers, teachers and students to share their ideas, to discuss their scientific opinions in teaching these disciplines, in order to enhance the quality of geometry and graphics education.

Second, but not less important. We are sure that the scientific community and mathematics, in particular, needs the contribution of women.

Women have made significant contributions to science from the earliest times. Historians with an interest in gender and science have illuminated the scientific endeavours and accomplishments of women, the barriers they have faced, and the strategies they have implemented to have their work peer-reviewed and accepted in major scientific journals and other publications. The historical, critical and sociological study of these issues has become an academic discipline in its own right.

On May 12, 2020 we celebrate the second Women in Mathematics Day, dedicated to Maryam Mirzakhani, the first woman that wins the Fields Medal.

Conference languages. Italian, English.

Due to limited number of places, registration is free but mandatory (Homepage - Politecnico di Milano - Eventi section).

During the conference, the authors will present the artworks of the call of ideas

La potenza compositiva di poligoni e poliedri.
