The X International Scientific and Practical Conference “Mathematics in a Modern Technical University” was held at Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute for two days on February 20-21, 2025.  Since 2013, it has been regularly organized by the Department of Mathematical Analysis and Probability Theory of the Faculty of Mathematics and Philosophy of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. Each of the previous conferences was attended by more than 100 participants, who made more than 900 reports in total.

Mathematics Week 2025 at our university started with the traditional Mathematical Battle - a competition that brings together teams of 1-2 year students to solve mathematical problems. The organizer is the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics (FMF).

Department of Mathematical Analysis and Probability Theory, FMF will resume work a club "Custom and Olympiad tasks of algebra and analysis." Classes will be held remotely, using Zoom.

In early December last year, the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava hosted an international workshop AdaMass Partnership Meeting. The event brought together teachers and researchers from different countries, including Ukraine, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Norway, to discuss pressing issues in mathematics education and find innovative solutions. Representatives of the Department of Mathematical Analysis and Probability Theory of the Faculty of Mathematics and Statistics of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute Olena Tymoshenko, Kateryna Moskvychova, and Olga Pelekhata also took part in the event (see photo). 

Recently, a memorial plaque in honor of its famous resident, the outstanding Ukrainian scientist and engineer Yevhen Oskarovych Paton, was unveiled on the historic residential building #5, which is an integral part of the KPI campus.

Mykhailo Kravchuk, the author of the first dictionary of Ukrainian mathematical terminology, was born today. He is a world-famous KPI professor who made computers, television, and 3D modeling a reality.

KPImedia continues a special project - interviews with Kyiv Polytechnic students who have been fighting or helping our soldiers at the front since the beginning of the war.

The number π is one of the most famous and important mathematical constants in the world. If we didn't know the number π, there would be no TV, radio, or telephones, and we wouldn't be able to travel by air.

On March 14, the world celebrates International Pi Day. The idea to establish it occurred to physicist Larry Shaw in 1987. He noticed that according to the American date system, March 14 was written as 3.14, coinciding with the beginning of the mathematical constant.
