QU to host Qatar Math Day 2020 tomorrow
The organising committee at Qatar University (QU) will launch the second edition of Qatar Math Day tomorrow aimed at enhancing the efforts in academic research in mathematics in Qatar.
This academic platform gathers all those interested in mathematics in Qatar, including researchers and instructors, in the field of education and research, to exchange research and educational experiences.
The event will also include presentations relating to academic research in mathematics and on mathematics teaching methods in Qatar. In addition, mathematics instructors at the secondary level of the Ministry of Education and Higher Education can join workshops offered as part of the programme.
This edition of Qatar Math Day is organised specifically by QU’s Foundation Programme Department of Math, at the deanship of General Studies, along with the department of Mathematics, Statistics and Physics at QU’s College of Arts and Sciences, and the Department of Mathematics at the Department of Educational Guidance at the Ministry of Education and Higher Education.
Qatar Math Day plays an active role in encouraging those interested in mathematics to develop their learning and teaching methods, in the school or university context. This will positively impact recruitment of Qatari students and help retain them in scientific, medical and engineering fields. It also highlights the state’s competencies and the efforts made by teachers, lecturers and researchers, both at QU and other centres of higher education in the country.
In addition, female and male winners of the fourth edition of the Qatar University Mathematics Championship will be honoured at the event. The championship is organised as part of a fruitful collaboration between three entities in QU: The Foundation Programme Department of Math; The Department of Mathematics, Statistics and Physics at the College of Arts and Sciences and the Student Learning Support Centre.
The organising committee invites all those interested in the field of mathematics to join Qatar Math Day, which includes valuable lectures and workshops dealing with various disciplines in the field of mathematics.
