As part of Prometeo Scuole, and in collaboration with Biennale Tecnologia and the Guido Fubini Mathematical Library, the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Politecnico di Torino organizes “Matematica LiberaMente”, a series of events designed to introduce upper secondary school students to the world of mathematics in an original, stimulating, and engaging way.
The project was created with the aim of showing that mathematics is not just a school subject, but a universal language capable of interpreting the reality around us. Through readings, conversations and storytelling, students will be able to explore the deep connections between mathematics and topics such as urban planning, geometry, philosophy, and science.

All events in “Matematica LiberaMente” are free of charge, with mandatory registration. Below is the schedule of meetings and their respective descriptions, each accompanied by a registration link:
