Скачать или смотреть My mathematical journey: From play to sea! Dr Jordan Pitt, The University of Sydney

This public lecture was delivered by Dr Jordan Pitt, applied mathematician and Associate Dean of Indigenous Strategy & Services at The University of Sydne as part of the 2025 AMSI Summer School. This lecture was tailored for a general audience and is suitable for individuals from Year 10 onward,
whether you’re a teacher, researcher, student or simply curious about the allure of mathematics.

Every time I mention that I’m a mathematician to someone new, the most popular response is ‘Oh I was TERRIBLE at maths!’ and a general vibe that I’m an extreme weirdo for not sharing in this feeling. Honestly, as mathematicians we are a bit different, but I am going to try and explain why we’re not that weird in this talk. To do this I will provide some stories of my own mathematical journey and why I ended up loving it.
