“THE STAMPS EXHIBITION” BY ROBIN WILSON
Professor Wilson will be bringing his popular, illustrated lecture on the
development of mathematics as portrayed through stamps to the 8ECM.
The lecture will accompany an exhibition that features more than 200
stamps from around the world.
There are many hundreds of postage stamps relating to European
mathematics, from early methods of counting to the modern computer
age. In this exhibition you will meet many of the mathematicians who
contributed to this story – influential figures such as Pythagoras and
Archimedes, Newton and Leibniz, the Slovenian Jurij Vega, and Einstein –
and you will learn about those areas, such as navigation, astronomy, and
art, whose study aided this development.
The exhibition is divided into eleven sections: Ancient Greece, Early
European Mathematics, Navigation & Astronomy, The 17th Century, The
18th Century, The 19TH Century, Mathematical Physics, The 20th Century,
Computing, The World of Mathematics, And Miscellaneous Topics.
When: 20 – 26 June 2021
Where: Grand Hotel Bernardin, Portorož, Slovenia
The exhibition will also be available online.
“MATHEMATICS IN COLORS” BY BOGDAN SOBAN
The exhibited images are the result of his more than 30 years of
research into the creative possibilities of information technology using
mathematics-supported software. For this kind of creative approach,
