[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] Woongjin ThinkBig announced on the 10th that it will hold an online live lecture with world-renowned mathematician Professor Kim Minhyung on the theme of ‘Mathematics Education in the Age of Artificial Intelligence (AI).’

This lecture was prepared to help parents who are concerned about how children can develop interest in and study mathematics in the AI era, where mathematical competence has become important.

The lecture will be held twice on the Woongjin ThinkBig ‘Woongie Genie’ YouTube channel and the ‘Book Club Lab’ YouTube channel on the 11th and 15th. The lecture on the 11th at 10 a.m. on the ‘Woongie Genie’ channel will convey the necessity of mathematics through mathematical principles hidden in daily life along with Professor Kim Minhyung’s philosophy of mathematics education. The lecture on the 15th at ‘Book Club Lab’ will also include a demonstration of math classes that parents can do with their children.

Professor Kim Minhyung is a world-class mathematician leading the popularization of mathematics in the AI era. He graduated from the Department of Mathematics at Seoul National University and received his Ph.D. from Yale University in the United States. He has worked as a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), assistant professor at Columbia University, professor at Purdue University, and chair professor at University College London (UCL), and was the first Korean to serve as a professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Oxford in the UK. He developed a theory that solves classical problems in arithmetic algebraic geometry through innovative topological methods, placing him among the world’s leading mathematicians. He is currently a professor of mathematics and chair professor of popular mathematics education at the University of Warwick in the UK. Professor Kim is also serving as a mathematics advisor for Woongjin ThinkBig and is promoting various collaborations to strengthen AI education expertise, including AI learning development.

A Woongjin ThinkBig official said, “Mathematics is recognized as a core competency in the AI era, and the importance of mathematics education is growing day by day. We hope that through the lecture by world-renowned mathematics scholar Professor Kim Minhyung, parents can gain tips on proper mathematics education and, furthermore, children can reduce their vague sense of distance from mathematics.”
