The
International Day of Mathematics
2021
in Algeria, Senegal and Congo
For the IDM 2021 and its theme Mathematics for a Better World we joined hands with partner organizations in three African countries to plan and organize a series of online events with panel discussions, talks, interactive workshops, classroom activities, competitions, teacher trainings, etc.
The events will take place from March 10 to March 26, 2021 and are held in French, English, and Arabic (see details below).
The partner organizations are:
- International Mathematical Union
- Mathematical Society of Algeria
- Senegalese Mathematical Society
- Mathematical Society of Congo
- Knowledge Sharing Campaign (KSC)
- IMAGINARY
This project is supported by the Simons Foundation. The support includes help in organization, coordination, setting up the online platform, conducting interactive workshops/activities, and training of local organizers.
