The Next Episode of Science Talks: Petr Eisenmann and Martin Kuřil on Mathematics and Changes at UJEP
Mathematics, academic memory, and the transformation of the university—all in one interview. This time, the guests on Science Talks are Petr Eisenmann and Martin Kuřil from the Department of Mathematics at the Faculty of Science, UJEP, who have been working at the University of Ústí nad Labem since the time when today’s UJEP was just taking shape.
Why can mathematics be a source of joy, a tool for solving problems, and a world of beautiful proofs? And how have the university, its students, research, and the campus environment itself changed over the past 35 years? The interview covers mathematics education, algebra, artificial intelligence, memories of 1989, and the significance of UJEP for Ústí nad Labem and the wider region.
There’s also no shortage of stereotypes about mathematicians, a bit of humor, and best wishes for the university in the years to come. Listen to the new episode about a field that is a nightmare for some and the language of the world for others, and about a university that has grown significantly over the past three and a half decades.
You can find our podcast on Spotify and SoundCloud under the name “Podcasty UJEP,” and later also on the faculty’s YouTube channel, where you can watch it with video.
