YOU ARE INVITED
5th CREATIVE MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES COMMUNICATION (CMSC)
ONLINE EVENT on JULY 3, 2020 with follow-up JULY 2021
(https://cmsc.wmi.amu.edu.pl/)
**** REGISTER NOW for the CMSC ONLINE EVENT (FREE, but must register).
****
CMSC explores new ways of communicating the rich mathematics,
algorithmics, and open problems underlying computer science, using
music, dance, theatre, and activities like Computer Science Unplugged
and other innovative efforts.
The full 5th CMSC 2020 has been postponed until 2 – 6 July 2021. In
order to feel the spirit of CMSC, a short ONLINE EVENT is planned for 3
July 2020.
**** ONLINE EVENT July 3, 2020. ****
Invited speakers will give presentations of no more than 15 minutes,
each. The presentations can be considered as trailers or teasers of full
presentations to be given at CMSC 2021. There will be an opportunity for
Q&A discussion. We look forward to a friendly, enjoyable sharing of
ideas and the stimulation of imaginative new ideas in the remote style
we are now, at least for a while, adapting to.
**** HERE ARE THE PRESENTERS ****
• Katarina Cheng, winner in the Performance category. Cheng will use
dance to present dihedral groups.
• Rohan Jha, winner in the Writing category. Jha will present elliptic
curve cryptography.
Cheng and Jha are winners of the MoMath (Museum of Mathematics in NYC)
International Steven H. Strogatz award recognizing high-school students
for math communication projects.

• Bruce Mufata (Congo) will talk about “Build with Mathematics” which
promotes mathematical culture by organizing innovative activities in
Kinshasa-D.R.CONGO.
• Judith Gal-Ezer (Open Univ of Israel) is the Mayor of Poznan
Scientific Visitor to the City. Gal-Ezer is an expert in the teaching of
computer-integrated mathematics and computer science education.
• Tim Bell (Univ Canterbury, NZ) is a leader of the CS Unplugged project
and a co-author of the interactive CS Field Guide (www.csunplugged.org).
• Mike Fellows (Univ Bergen, Norway) is a co-author of Computer Science
Unplugged and a founder of the research area Parameterized Complexity.
• Andreas Daniel Matt is Managing Director of IMAGINARY (IMAGINARY was
initiated at the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach (MFO), a
member of the Leibniz Association). Matt will present the Artificial
Intelligence exhibit: www.i-am.ai <https://www.i-am.ai/>. The exhibit
examines questions like: How does a neural network learn? Why is a
computer able to recognize the numbers I write? Can artificial
intelligence be wrong sometimes? What are training data sets? Is it
possible to perform a task without understanding it?
• Karl Schaffer and Erik Stern are the founders of the Dr. Schaffer and
Mr. Stern Dance Ensemble, world-famous for its performances and
workshops on math dance. They promote whole body math and movement
activities for the K-12 classroom that unifies concepts in both
mathematics and dance <http://schafferstern.org>.
• Pawel Perekietka and Michael Ren (Adam Mickiewicz Univ) will discuss
the Polish mathematicians who broke the Enigma during WWII and gave the
methods to UK, and will describe the International Codebreakers contest
(www.thecodebreakers.org).
• Jerzy Pogonowski (Adam Mickiewicz Univ, Poland) is professor of logic
and computer science.
• The Poznan Music Academy with Maciej Grzeskowiak has developed courses
that teach computer science together with music. We will be treated to a
(part) of the premiere of their new algorithmic music piece, prepared by
CS+math+music students.
