Paderborn University's “Mathezirkel” (Maths Circle) has been running for ten years now to bring the joy of maths closer to schoolchildren. To mark the anniversary and a record number of participants with more than 80 registrations in the summer semester 2025, the offer is being expanded: In addition to the popular Saturday dates from 10 am to 1 pm, there will also be digital evening events on Wednesdays from 6 pm to 9 pm in the winter semester 2025/26.
The workshop topic on Saturday, 29 November, and Wednesday, 3 December, is "Tiling: Chessboards and Polyominos". Further information can be found in the maths circle flyer.
The “Mathezirkel” is primarily aimed at upper school students. However, only intermediate level maths skills are required, so younger participants are also very welcome. Those interested can register for free and find further information on the “Mathezirkel” website. The meetings take place online via Zoom. The workshop leader is Dr. Kerstin Hesse from the Institute of Mathematics at Paderborn University.
