Stem Exchange: An Introduction to Topology

28 January 2021, 12:30 - 13:15

This is a past event

To celebrate Maths Week Scotland, tune in to the Aberdeen Science Centre's first STEM Exchange talk.

Join Dr. Irakli Patchkoria, researcher and lecturer from the Department of Mathematics at the 51cg, for a 20 minute talk on his research field.

The Talk

What is a knot, doughnut, or Platonic solid? We hear you…” how is this maths and how would classifying this help solve any problems!?”. Join Irakli to find out!

Through interesting facts and examples, we will be given an introduction to topology, where we will explore interesting geometric objects and learn how this research is useful in maths and to other areas of science.

Who Is this talk for?

This talk is for anyone curious!

For non-mathematicians interested in what modern-day mathematicians are still researching or anyone just interested in learning something new!

If you are an adult or high school pupil interested in studying maths, this talk also gives a glimpse into some areas being taught within the Department of Mathematics of the 51cg.
