Mathematics in Conversation

Mathematics in Conversation is a dialogue series of the Maths Adventure Land. 3-4 times a year, Prof. Andreas Thom (TU Dresden) receives mathematicians who present their current research topics and their areas of application in a clear and entertaining way.
The audience experiences science at first hand and also learns interesting facts about the guests’ motivations, ideas and career paths in conversation.

We all know addition, subtraction, multiplication and division as the four basic arithmetic operations. But there is a fifth – the so-called modular forms.

What is it about these mysterious objects? And why are they indispensable for mathematics today?

Anna-Maria von Pippich conducts research in the field of number theory at the University of Konstanz. In conversation with Andreas Thom, she will talk about what fascinates her about mathematics and why she almost became an art historian.
