The North West Branch recently welcomed Dr Heather Tewkesbury to the University of Lancashire to deliver her Presidential Address “Why Mathematics Matters: Sharing Experiences to Amplify Impact”.
Heather was joined by panellists Lucy Morgan (The Strategy Unit), Eleanor Russell (Thales) and Rushen Patel (Generational) to explore the importance of mathematics in healthcare, acoustics, EV Batteries and more.
Thanks to NW Branch Chair Marcello Trovati for organising a successful event.
Would you like to see more mathematics talks and events in your region?
Do you have ideas for new projects, a passion for organising events, or simply want to get involved? IMA Branches are keen to recruit committee members from all backgrounds, including those working in industry, business, academia and government, as well as early career mathematicians, trainee teachers and PhD students. The IMA are committed to building committees that reflect the diversity of the mathematical community.
Joining a Branch committee is an excellent opportunity to contribute your ideas and perspectives, help shape and organise events and initiatives, develop valuable skills and experience, build connections with fellow IMA members, and support inclusion and diversity across the profession.
