Dear colleagues,

This Friday at 18:30, the Italian première of “Galois. Story of a revolutionary mathematician” will be presented at Trieste’s Ariston cinema. The documentary film is by Giuseppe Mussardo and Diego Cenetiempo, and produced by the International School of Advanced Studies (SISSA) and ICTP.

The story of the mathematician Évariste Galois heralds the opening of the 2017 Trieste Science+Fiction Festival, which runs from the 31 October to 5 November 2017. Galois, a prodigy of mathematics, was killed at a very young age during a fatal duel in 1832. By blending the biographical and the creative, the film tells of the beginning of an extraordinary scientific adventure made up of profound intuitions, which were unappreciated at the time but which were to change the face of mathematics and physics over the following two centuries.

More details about the film are here: https://www.ictp.it/about-ictp/media-centre/news/2017/10/galois.aspx.

The event is free and open to the public. Booking is recommended (requests to be forwarded to segreteriadirezione@sissa.it). Please note that the film is in Italian.
