On this year's Mathematics Day on September 27, 2025, 99 students from grades 7 to 12 visited our department. In lectures in the well-filled auditorium, Prof. Marco Oesting told them how machines learn and Dr. Dominik Zimmermann explained why pi can sometimes be 3 for mathematicians. This was accompanied by grade-level workshops on taxi geometry, magic squares, graph theory, matrices and plane motions, logic and set theory, as well as AI and learning theory.
In addition to this packed program, there was an award ceremony for the best participants in the correspondence circle, who received book prizes for their submissions. At lunchtime, there was pizza for everyone, and in the afternoon, there was time for pastries, conversations, and winding down the day.
