Exhibition:

This exhibition available online, gives visitors the opportunity to discover “Beautiful Maths. A group of Researchers from the University of Geneva were asked to select an image from their research and were asked to explain why they considered their image to be beautiful. Each of the nine posters exhibited includes a question which visitors will be challenged to answer through a QR code. For the most curious, they can discover an explanation of the math behind each poster too. Enjoy the virtual visit! Our members Elise Raphael, Joana Mailler and Shaula Fiorelli are the exhibition curators. Exhibition virtual (FR) Exhibition – Beautiful Maths
