Is mathematics really just about calculations? How can a problem that fits into a single sentence keep scientists busy for years? Where do those famous “Eureka!” moments come from?
These questions will be at the heart of the opening lecture for the fall 2026 semester, which will take the form of a dialogue between two UNIGE experts, each offering the perspective of their respective disciplines: Hugo Duminil-Copin, 2022 Fields Medalist and professor of mathematics, and Emmanuel Sander, professor in psychology and educational sciences.
Beyond the Blackboard: Mathematics with a Human Face
Tuesday, September 15, 2026 | 6:30 p.m. at Uni Dufour
What if mathematics were about much more than just calculations? Beyond logic, intuition, creativity and emotions play a vital role in the emergence of ideas. Through accounts of discoveries and a dialogue between mathematics and psychology, this event demonstrates that mathematics is, above all, a human adventure, and invites us to rethink the way we learn and teach it. In this age of algorithms and artificial intelligence, mathematics is much more than a set of techniques; it is a valuable tool for reasoning, exercising critical thinking and gaining a better understanding of the world around us.
