Mathematical Minds - FREE
The goal of this event is to foster mathematical thinking and generate the next generation of independent mathematicians.
This event is divided into two segments:
The first segment is a warm-up round in which we shall solve high school maths problems. Feel free to bring your own problems and books! You may also want to bring a scientific calculator.
The second segment is an introduction to mathematical logic and proof-writing. The problems solved in this segment will be of a different nature.
An online group will also be created for mathematical discussions and to keep a record of whatever was covered. This is essential as mathematics is a discipline that continually builds upon the knowledge accumulated so far.
Make sure to bring pens and a notebook (or plenty of A4 paper, whichever you prefer).

Astra Rooftop
Hello everyone!
For our first dinner together, we’re keeping things low-key and casual. Take a look at the menu and let us know what you think we want this to be easy, relaxed, and enjoyable for everyone.
Quick housekeeping note: many restaurants require most of the party to be present before seating. No-shows impact the entire group, so if someone repeatedly commits and doesn’t show more than once, we’ll have to remove you from future dinners to keep things fair and smooth for everyone.
Looking forward to a great night and even better conversations 🍽️✨
