Pader­born Maths Circle: Work­shop on ‘The But­ter­fly The­or­em’

Location: Online

The Paderborn Maths Circle at Paderborn University will begin its next round in the 2026/27 winter semester. Through a series of online workshops, interested pupils who are familiar with secondary school Mathematics and enjoy logical thinking can gain a deeper insight into mathematical concepts and learn more about pursuing a STEM degree later on. On Wednesday 4 November, from 5 pm to 8 pm, a workshop on ‘The Butterfly Theorem’ will take place. Registration is open online via the event page until 11 am the day before.

The workshops are led by Dr Kerstin Hesse from the Institute of Mathematics at Paderborn University. Here, the young people gain deeper insights into mathematical concepts, develop a genuine understanding and, with support, carry out simple proofs together. Based on experience, participation is recommended for interested pupils in Years 8 and 9 and above.

The content of the various sessions does not build on one another, so they can also be attended individually. The workshop materials and access details (Zoom link) will be sent to participants by email in the run-up to the workshops.
