UAB Department of Mathematics participates this year for the first time in the Barcelona International Youth Science Challenge (BIYSC), a summer program of introduction to research, with 132 young scientists between 16 and 18 years old from around the world, organized by the Fundació Catalunya La Pedrera Participants must complete a selection process, in which they must submit texts and videos explaining their trajectory and motivation, and can be selected, through a personal interview, for one of the 11 research projects. Those selected will personally visit the research centers between 5 and 16 July to develop the projects as a team. The project of our Department is Can computers do math? An approach through axiomatic geometry Can a computer understand, or even prove a theorem? Axiomatic geometry (300 BC) constructs all our geometric knowledge by reasoning logically from a minimum set of premises or postulates. Similarly, recent programs such as LEAN (2013) have taken on the challenge of formalizing and even creating mathematics. This project is coordinated by Marc Masdeu and Roberto Rubio.
