SUMMARY:Excursions into the Mathematical Universe: How Mathematics Shapes the Digital World: From Computer Games and Secure Online Shopping to Social Networks
DESCRIPTION:A series of popular science lectures titled “Excursions into the Mathematical Universe.” The lectures are primarily intended for students of secondary schools in the Primorska region\, but they are also open to the general public. Researchers and university lecturers will present ancient and modern mathematical concepts and their applicability in various fields of science\, natural sciences\, and social sciences in an accessible way. \n\nHow Mathematics Shapes the Digital World: From Computer Games and Secure Online Shopping to Social Networks \nHow do 3D models in video games move and rotate? How does your password turn into an incomprehensible string of characters? And how can we determine who is the most influential person on a social network? The answer lies in linear algebra. In this lecture\, we will explore how simple mathematical operations on vectors make all of this possible. \nAbout the lecturer: Safet Penjić was born in Zenica (Bosnia and Herzegovina)\, where he completed primary and secondary school. He completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Zenica and his master’s studies at the University of Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina). He earned his PhD in 2019 at the Faculty of Mathematics\, Natural Sciences and Information Technologies\, University of Primorska\, Koper. As a doctoral student\, he received a Fulbright scholarship and conducted part of his research at the University of Seattle (USA). His research area is algebraic and combinatorial graph theory. In his free time\, he solves mathematical puzzles\, engages in sports\, follows developments in the computer world\, listens to music\, and writes a textbook on linear algebra. He lives and works in Koper. \n\n\nFurther below\, you are kindly invited to read and view the following materials related to the event: \n\nThe invitation with the program is available at this link.\nEvent materials are available at this link.\nPhotos from the event:

SUMMARY:Mathematics Day at UP FAMNIT
DESCRIPTION:UP FAMNIT will host third-year students from Gimnazija Piran for Mathematics Day. Researchers and university lecturers will prepare mathematical lectures and workshops for the students\, presenting interesting mathematical problems\, research findings\, and applications of mathematics in everyday life. In this way\, students will learn about the importance and usefulness of research and innovation and gain insight into their concrete impact on daily life. \n\nFurther below\, you are kindly invited to read and view the following materials related to the event: \n\n\nThe invitation with the program is available at this link.\nPhotos from the event:

SUMMARY:Fake News and Conspiracy Theories: How to Fight Them and Protect Gender Equality?
DESCRIPTION:“Raising awareness of the interested public through presentations on fake news and conspiracy theories in the field of gender equality: Despite technological and social progress\, even in the field of gender equality\, fake news and conspiracy theories exist. Based on their characteristics\, fake news can be classified into several subgroups\, such as: false information\, which refers to inaccurate information or manipulated truth with the aim of creating sensational stories; bias\, which refers to the fact that people will prefer to share and believe fake news that is consistent with their beliefs and biases; the spread of false information through the platform\, with the help of which the information spreads faster; manipulation through which the creators of false information only want to spread it for various reasons such as political goals\, financial gain or entertainment. \nAs a well-known example\, we can take the difference in pay for the same work between men and women\, many still deny this fact and do not attach any special importance to it. In the field of science\, there is often misinformation or stereotypes about what men and women can do\, or what abilities one group and another have. Stereotypical claims are also often seen in the fields of technology\, mechanical engineering\, computer engineering and mathematics. Some misinformation often tries to relativize and minimize the magnitude of the problem of violence against women or falsely state that most allegations are false\, even though research indicates that the proportion of false allegations in cases of sexual violence is relatively low. \nWe can still find news stories and messages from celebrities stating that feminism is part of a global conspiracy to devalue traditional values and the family and place men in a subordinate position. We also witness in many cases when they use conspiracy theories to try to convince others that feminism is hostile to men and promotes the dominance of one gender over the other. That is why it is important to recognize fake news and conspiracy theories and to be able to check the source of the information\, or to find out where the information is coming from and if we have found it within a credible source that supports or refutes the stated facts. \n\nVarious research projects dealing with gender equality and equal opportunities can play an important role in raising awareness. In particular\, we will present the AGRIGEP project within the framework of Horizon Europe\, which aims to inform the general public about the importance and benefits of research in the field of gender equality. \n\n\nFurther below\, you are kindly invited to read and view the following materials related to the event: \n\n\nThe invitation with the program is available at this link.\nAwareness-raising leaflets are available at this link.\nPhotos from the event:
