About:

This public talk was part of the Diverse Voices of Maths series, to highlight the diversity of maths and mathematicians.

About the talk:

How geometry relates to algebra might seem difficult to picture, but this is not always the case. Using things like footballs, dictionaries, and infinity symbols, this talk tackled some current research in this area, and showed how the two areas do in fact relate!

About the speaker: Angela Tabiri (she/her) is a mathematics lecturer based in Ghana. She founded an NGO called Femafricamaths which aims to inspire girls to study mathematics. She is passionate about the study of maths and how it can open doors for women and girls.
