One of the biggest problems that mathematics teachers encounter when teaching is the need for students to know, at all times, what the purpose of what we are teaching them is. With this idea in mind, the first part of the talk is dedicated to polyhedrons, surfaces that the students have studied over the years and that have helped many architects to build some of their most emblematic buildings.
In the second part of this talk we will see an introduction to the new techniques that are currently used in the computer generated surface design and that are based on mathematics.
Brief CV
María García Monera has a degree in mathematics from the University of Valencia and a PhD in mathematics from the Polytechnic University of Valencia. She has a master's degree in mathematical research from the University of Valencia and a master's degree in computational mathematics from the Jaume I University, also since 2009 she works as a secondary school teacher and since 2016 as an associate professor at the University of Valencia. Since 2011, she has dedicated part of her time to the field of popular mathematics, designing real models of surfaces through her sections (sliceforms). María has given numerous talks and workshops in countries such as Belgium, Mexico, the United States or Brazil. She is part of the "Women and Mathematics" commission of the Royal Spanish Mathematical Society.
