Maths in the Culture Night
The Department of Mathematical Sciences invites everyone to Culture Night, an evening of maths, mystery, encryption and games.We fill the H.C. Ørsted Building's hall and auditoriums with activities and lectures for children, young people and adults - together with the Department of Chemistry, Department of Computer Science, Department of Biology and the Niels Bohr Institute.
Welcome to Science Cultural Night!

Use your sense of logic in the Mystery Hunt
A crime has been committed and we need your help to solve the mystery. Solve the puzzles you find in the Maths Library and you'll find the culprit. There are different levels, so anyone aged 12-102 with an interest in maths and puzzles can join in.
Star race for school pupils
Can you put 2 and 2 together? Can you do more than that? Whether you're in the youngest or oldest classes, come and test your skills in a star race where you'll be sent around the building to a series of stations. At each station, you'll be set a task appropriate to your level. In Danish.
Play chess with us
In the Chess Corner, you can compete against chess players from the Department of Mathematical Sciences and the co-organising Chemists' Chess Club. Our hosts will play against anyone who wants to challenge them. There will also be some written chess problems (of varying levels of difficulty) for you to work on.
Geometry and topology for the curious
Experiment with soap bubbles and learn why they behave the way they do. Build a kaleidoscope and play with mirrors. Make like quantum physicist Paul Dirac and play with a beer bottle opener and strings to investigate spin. You will be guided by researchers from the Centre for Geometry and Topology (GeoTop).
The quantum corner
Researchers from the Centre for the Mathematics of Quantum Theory (QMATH) talk about quantum mathematics and quantum computing.
