Show Your Working (Aug 2024)

 

Check out this blog post from Christchurch City Libraries staff wrote to promote our event Show Your Working in association with the Tūranga Speaker Series.

 

On August 8th, our audience got to hear how ecologists use maths to understand ecosystems from Kate Wootton (Postdoctoral Fellow at University of Canterbury) and how Kea Aerospace use mathematics for flight simulation and weather analysis in a joint presentation from Jeremy Hills (Aeronautical Design & Software Engineer) and Sam Walls (Aviation Meteorology Engineer), followed by Q&A.

 

The evening of talks was supplemented with a repeat showing of our Mathematical 3D printing and Slide Rule displays (info on our downloads page).
