澳大邀專家談數學現在式
澳門大學將於10月17日（星期五）舉辦“大學講壇”，南方科技大學講席教授Efim Zelmanov及北京大學博雅講席教授張繼平分別以“美麗數學新世界”及“數與代數”為題發表演說，探討數學學科的發展。歡迎有興趣人士參加。
Efim Zelmanov是世界頂尖數學家。他於1994年獲被譽為年輕數學家最高榮譽的菲爾茲獎，以及全球十多所頂尖大學頒授榮譽博士學位，並先後當選美國國家科學院院士、中國科學院外籍院士、西班牙皇家科學院外籍院士等，成就斐然。張繼平是中國科學院院士，長期致力於代數學前沿研究，並在有限群表示論研究中取得傑出成就。他曾獲國家自然科學獎三等獎、陳省身數學獎等殊榮，更以卓越的教育遠見主持培育拔尖數學人才，為中國數學人才發展作出重要貢獻。
是次講座聚焦數學的獨特魅力與廣泛應用，兩位專家將分享數學的特殊性質及其在人工智慧、通訊技術、醫學影像的應用，以及數學如何啓迪文明、推動科學統一及數位科技實現問題機械化求解。
講座將於10月17日（星期五）下午三時以英文及普通話於澳大科研大樓北21座演講廳（N21-G013）舉行。報名網址: https://isw.um.edu.mo/evmapp/register/ULSmathsinmodernworld。查詢請致電+853 8822 8878或電郵至uls@um.edu.mo與黃小姐聯繫。

Experts to give talk on role of mathematics in modern world at UM
As part of the University Lecture Series, the University of Macau (UM) has invited Efim Zelmanov, chair professor at Southern University of Science and Technology, and Zhang Jiping, Boya Chair Professor at Peking University, to deliver a talk on 17 October (Friday). Prof Zelmanov will speak on ‘Welcome to the New Beautiful Mathematical World’, while Prof Zhang will speak on ‘Numbers and Algebra’, exploring the role of mathematics in the modern world. All are welcome to attend.
Efim Zelmanov is a world-leading mathematician. He was awarded the Fields Medal—the highest honour for young mathematicians—in 1994, and has received honorary doctorates from over ten top universities worldwide. He has also been elected a member of the US National Academy of Sciences, a foreign member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and a foreign member of the Royal Academy of Exact, Physical and Natural Sciences of Spain. The other speaker, Zhang Jiping, is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He has long been dedicated to cutting-edge research in algebra and has made outstanding achievements in the research on modular representation theory of finite groups. He has also received awards such as a third prize of the State Natural Science Award and the Shiing Shen Chern Mathematics Award. With his exceptional vision for education, he has nurtured many top mathematicians and made landmark contributions to the cultivation of mathematical talent in China.
The talk will focus on the unique charm and broad applications of mathematics. The two experts will share their insights into the distinctive nature of mathematics and its applications in artificial intelligence, communication technology, and medical imaging. They will also discuss how mathematics has inspired civilisation, promoted the unification of sciences, and enabled the mechanisation of problem-solving processes with digital technology.
The talk will begin at 3:00pm on 17 October (Friday) in the Lecture Hall of the UM Research Building N21 (N21-G013), and will be conducted in English and Mandarin. To register for the talk, please visit: https://isw.um.edu.mo/evmapp/register/ULSmathsinmodernworld. For enquiries, please call +853 8822 8878 or email uls@um.edu.mo.
