Thursday, October 30, 2025
Abstract:
This session dives deep into ways to communicate actual mathematical and statistical content. Participants will take part in activities around the proper use of jargon, examine the important role definitions play in the mathematical sciences, and develop metaphors and analogies for their research. They will also delve into the important role the human aspect can play in connecting mathematics and statistics with lay audiences and why it is important to be careful with numbers.
