Art: Math at Work

INTRODUCTION

Sonia Kovalevsky was a renowned mathematician, writer, and advocate for women’s rights in the 19th century. In her honor, the Eighth Annual Sonia Kovalevsky High School Mathematics Day is being organized by the University of Iowa Mathematics Department. High school aged women, their educators, and parents or guardians are invited to a day-long program featuring workshops, talks, and panels of professionals with math-related jobs. The goal is to stimulate young women's interest in math and encourage them to continue studying math and science and to pursue careers in these areas.

This year discover the world of MATH and THE ARTS and learn how math is used in the visual and performing arts. The theme is "Art: Math at Work." There is no cost to attend this event.
