Photography contest: mathematical boards

Captura de pantalla 2019-03-13 a las 12.16.55
The walls of our offices are filled with blackboards on which BCAM researchers make mathematical calculations. There are times when those boards full of formulas look like real works of art to us and we feel sorry to erase them, so we decided to look for the best way to immortalize them: a photography contest!

On the occasion of Pi Day and our tenth anniversary, we are launching a competition in which we will look for the most beautiful and original mathematical board. Show us what you can do with the chalk or the marker, you can win a fantastic prize!

Are you up for it? Below we explain step by step how you can participate in the contest.
