The students were able to learn about the project the group is working on, as well as have a glimpse into the life and work of scientists. They also learnt about some mathematical concepts they will reencounter in their future science studies, which both of them are looking forward to pursue.
It is the 3rd year that the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica participates in the “INNOBAT” program in which researchers from the institution host High School students for an immersive experience, offering them a training that involves the student’s approach to real learning environments linked to their choice of baccalaureate and their study and professional orientation, bearing in mind that they are still in the process of deciding on higher studies.
It is a program proposed by the school and supported by CERCA.

When Symmetry Breaks the Rules: From Askey–Wilson Polynomials to Functions
Researchers Tom Koornwinder (U. Amsterdam) and Marta Mazzocco (ICREA-UPC-CRM) published a paper in Indagationes Mathematicae exploring DAHA symmetries. Their work shows that these symmetries shift Askey–Wilson polynomials into a continuous functional setting,and...

Rescuing Data from the Pandemic: A Method to Correct Healthcare Shocks
When COVID-19 lockdowns disrupted healthcare in 2020, insurance companies discarded their data; claims had dropped 15%, and patterns made no sense. A new paper in Insurance: Mathematics and Economics shows how to rescue that information by...
