Maths classes can be a major
source of fear and stress for
many students while mathematicians can talk for hours about the beauty
of mathematics. Why is our perception of the subject so uneven?
Join us for a journey throughout the world of mathematics with the
screening of
Comment j’ai détesté les maths (How I came to hate Maths)
by Olivier Peyon starring some of the greatest mathematicians,
including Cédric Villani
(2010 Fields Medal). Screening followed
by a Q&A
in English with mathematicians from France and Ireland.
The evening organised with the support of the French Embassy
as part of
Science Week 2017
by Dr. Victoria Lebed (Hamilton Mathematics
Institute, TCD) will be introduced by Marc Daumas,
Scientific & Academic Attaché (French
Embassy) and followed by a reception
at La Cocotte.

Mourad (Roschdy Zem, Days of Glory)
and his girlfriend Linda (Maïwenn, High
Tension). The film premiered at the 42nd Toronto
International Film Festival.
