On 26 May the Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics celebrated ‘Take a Girl Child to Work’ day by hosting seven high school girls on campus for a day of math fun. Dr Eder Kikianty gave an inspiring talk on Fermat's Last Theorem, highlighting the role women played in maths with Monsieur le Blanc alias Sophie Germain, and Joan Clarke. Dr Madelein Labuschagne spoke about a career in maths. The girls enjoyed some tea in the garden, a first year engineering math class, a campus tour and lunch. The girls who participated were Alexia Daniel and Chane Nel from Pretoria High School for Girls; Ntshikeng Matooane and Khanya Nxomani from St Mary’s DSG; and Karlien Smith, Ane Venter and Kara Steenkamp from Afrikaanse Hoër Meisieskool.
