With a stand where visitors were challenged to solve different mathematical problems, the Center for Mathematical Modeling of the University of Chile has participated in the last two versions of the Mathematics Festival organized by the Chilean Mathematical Society (Somachi).
The events took place in the cities of Vicuña on July 8th and San Antonio on September 9th. The first one took place in December 2016, in Valparaiso. Each version has called for 20 exhibitions that showcased mathematical concepts in an attractive way.
CMM booth focused on solving mathematical problems, an activity that has already been successfully carried out in events such as the Engineering and Science Festival of the Faculty of Physical and Mathematical Sciences.
In the Coquimbo Region, Natacha Astromujoff, an academic from the Mathematical Engineering Department, was in charge of the course, along with Pablo Ugalde and Sebastián Pérez, as well as Simón Piga.
Piga also led the work in the Valparaiso Region, where Andrés Cristi and Francisco Fernandez accompanied him.
“We did very well that weekend. The fair worked very well, a lot of people passed through the stand,” he said.
A third edition is scheduled for November 4th in Talca.
