The Unit of Scientific Culture (UCC) of the University of Murcia (UMU) continues its cycle of informative conferences to bring science to a diverse public.
Francisco Balibrea Gallego will be the new speaker on Monday, April 29 at 7:30 p.m., in the Cultural Area Room of El Corte Inglés, with his 'Miscelánea matemática'.
Balibrea Gallego will combine entertainment and dissemination through math games, in which he will use binary cards.
Through them, with the help of the audience, he will practice number divination and location of cards in a deck, explaining his mathematical foundation.
The teacher will also analyze flat fractals, by describing a fractal and its role in nature and science.
For this, he will study the case of self-similar fractals and, in particular, two flat fractals.
In addition, he will pose the Collatz conjecture, one of the open problems of mathematics for more than a century and that nobody has solved so far.
Balibrea will culminate the talk telling the story and importance of the Abel Prize, and in particular, will focus on Karen Uhlenbeck, the most recent winner of this award.
He will take a tour of Uhlenbeck's life views, "and the meaning of being an illustrious mathematician and having a family, as well as the price that must be paid to stay active in the world of research," the researcher illustrates.
Francisco Balibrea Gallego is Professor of Mathematical Analysis at the Faculty of Mathematics of the University of Murcia (UMU) for 25 years.
In his work as a teacher he teaches Mathematical Analysis, focusing on differential equations and partial derivatives.
In addition, in his work as a researcher he has focused on the Theory of Dynamical Systems and Applications to the Dynamics of Populations, that is, on how the number of individuals in a human population, animals, plants or microorganisms evolves.
