Here is what Zuzanna writes about her work, titled "Pi all around": "The work is made using the quilling technique and tissue paper string. Half of it represents the logo of the University of Silesia in Katowice, the logo of the department of mathematics, physics, and chemistry, and flowers. The other half represents planets and the number pi. The sphere is placed on a base in the colors of the Katowice flag". We can only add that the jury wondered whether Zuzanna had spent the whole year on such labor-intensive work! The entire podium this year was taken by girls, as the winner of the second prize was Magdalena Wolna from Preschool No. 73 named after Mr. Uszatek in Katowice, while the third place was awarded to Karolina Nowak from class IV a at SP No. 32 in Chorzow. The awards will be presented during the solemn conclusion of the Pi Number Day - March 14, 2018, at 2:30 pm, in room 227 of the Institute of Mathematics of the University of Silesia in Katowice (Bankowa 14 street). We sincerely congratulate the laureates and wish them further successes! 13 Feb 2018 Święto Pi 2018 - poszukiwani prowadzący warsztaty! ![]() Wszystkich gorąco zachęcamy do pomocy w organizacji tego wydarzenia.

Na szkółkę zostali zaproszeni matematycy teoretyczni i stosowani, którzy mają opowiedzieć o swojej dziedzinie badań w sposób zrozumiały dla studentów licencjatu (jakiś fragment). Cel jest taki by studenci zobaczyli różne możliwości zanim wejdą w wąską specjalizację. W pierwszej części 24-26.11.2017 swój udział zapowiedzieli prof. dr hab. Krzysztof Frączek (UMK, Toruń), prof. dr hab. Piotr Gwiazda (Uniwersytet Warszawski, IMPAN), prof. dr hab.Piotr Śniady (IM PAN, Toruń), prof. dr hab. Ryszard Rudnicki (IMPAN). Dr hab.
