Moderated Roundtable Discussion Sessions
Leaders and Topics
Dr Maurice Chiodo
We will use the 10 pillars of responsible development for mathematical work (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.16729482) to explore the ethical issues arising in a hypothetical example of the use of mathematics.
Dr Clio Cresswell
One Theorem, Many Minds: Embodiment in Mathematical Proof: Mathematical proofs are often treated as interchangeable routes to the same conclusion. Yet different proofs embody different ways of thinking, seeing, and organising structure. Through familiar examples drawn from school and university mathematics, this workshop explores visual, symbolic, geometric, linguistic, and procedural forms of mathematical reasoning, inviting discussion about whether mathematical understanding involves more than correctness alone.
Dr Daniel Mansfield
How does the mathematics of the past influence the mathematics of the future?
Mr Bilal Tarar
Global Mathematics in Dialogue: Histories, Diversity, and Futures.
This moderated breakout roundtable invites participants to engage in focused discussion on global histories and futures of mathematics. The session encourages exchange of perspectives on cultural diversity, knowledge transmission, and inclusive approaches to research and education. Participants will reflect on dominant narratives, share insights, and identify future directions.
