To celebrate International Day of Mathematics, SMRI presents our Maths at the Museum program, running at the Chau Chak Wing Museum (CCWM). The official theme of the International Day of Mathematics in 2026 is “Mathematics and Hope”. Across the weekend we will explore mathematical concepts with talks, panels, children’s activities in our Maths Craft Room as well as A magic show by Tadashi Tokieda (Stanford University). This integrated program of interactive maths activities will run across the weekend, coinciding with the opening weekend of the Biennale at the Museum! Please check back as more events are added: SMRI event page: Maths at the Museum. If you would like to register your interest as a volunteer, please see this sc news post for more information.
A magic show should not steal its own thunder with an abstract, but this one is easy for curious children and difficult for seasoned scientists, and you can try it yourself afterwards on friends and family!
This event is hosted by the Sydney Mathematical Research Institute as part of our program for International Day of Mathematics. The talk will be tailored to a general audience and suitable for all ages, from children to adults! This is a free event, however registration is essential.
