"PI day at PI"
(Pi day 2022 at Pauli Institute)
"same procedure as last year": a "hybrid" celebration of the international day of mathematics

statements of 5+1 eminent mathematicians

Introduction on “covid and math”, "Thumb times PI" estimates, and the war in Ukraine

Topics:
On "PI day" (March 14 - 3.14) we celebrated the “International Day of Mathematics”
with an “online event”
where 5 male collegues (of the same 7 of 2020 and 2021) gave short statements,
as well as a courageous (Russian) female collegue who replaced 2 men,

with a “prologue” by the PI director and an epilogue with a Pie.

Remark: In 2020 the video was a spontaneous improvised idea the day before PI day,
when we had to cancel the planned “presence event”. In 2021 we had to do/plan the same.
Now in 2022 our collegues from USA and China still faced severe travel restrictions.
“Next year in Jerusalem"...
