Global Classroom

In collaboration with Professors Roberto Ben and Antonio Cafure from Universidad Nacional de General Sarmiento, we organized a sequence of global meetings on series and fractals connecting students from the United States and Argentina to explore how people from different countries can learn from one another and develop a greater understanding of each other’s cultures.
This international multicultural initiative consisted of three ninety-minute-long virtual meetings in May 2021. During these events, twenty math students from Cal Poly Pomona and Universidad Nacional de General Sarmiento discussed questions related to geometric series, fractals, and dimensions.
Some of the goals that motivated this initiative were to have a friendly international experience from home, strengthen our global perspective, resignify our knowledge in Spanish and English, expand our network, and enjoy doing mathematics together.
