Workshop Mathematical creativity, Rio, Dec 8 -13 Send 1 page abstract to starikova.irina@gmail.com by October 13. https://sites.google.com/view/creativity2019/workshops/mathematical-creativity Creativity in mathematics may look paradoxical. Mathematics is a precise science with precise rules to follow. Where is the place for creativity in this castle of precision and rigor? What meaningful (philosophical) questions can we pose about mathematical creativity today? The workshop aims to bring together mathematicians, philosophers, IT and mathematical education specialists to get an insight into the non-exhaustive list of topics: What is special about mathematical creativity? Creativity in the invention and deployment of mathematical rules Creativity in pure and applied mathematics Creativity and mathematical purity Creativity in the invention of notational systems Creativity in using media and artifacts Creativity in definitions and concept formation Creativity in proofs Creativity and aesthetics Creativity in metaphorical and analogical thinking How far are we in grasping mathematical creativity by computational means?
