This workshop will be presented by UNSW lecturer Dr Sean Gardiner, and is recommended for high school students in Years 9-12 with an interest in mathematics and problem-solving.

There are many situations in life where a problem can be solved by careful counting! Counting may seem like a simple task, but sometimes it can be surprisingly tricky.

In this workshop, we will help four STEM workers with counting problems that have come up in their research, by making use of cups, coloured paper, and collaboration.

Some light refreshments will be provided.

Location:

The workshops will be held in Room 3085 on level 3 of the Anita B. Lawrence Centre (East) in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at UNSW. Please enter the building via the Centre Wing or East Wing main entrances (ref: H15 on UNSW campus map).
