[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Library is conducting online education to alleviate concerns about learning gaps caused by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and to support the improvement of basic math skills.


On the 27th, Seoul Library announced that it will recruit students in grades 4 to 6 of elementary school and provide lectures through the video conferencing platform Zoom under the theme "Seoul Seen from the Perspective of Mathematics."


This lecture invites author Nam Ho-young of "Seoul with Mathematics" to introduce Seoul, where history and culture breathe, from a mathematical perspective to upper-grade elementary students and above. Lecturer Nam Ho-young graduated from the Department of Mathematics Education at Seoul National University, worked as a math teacher for 30 years, and authored 10 books including "Copernicus's Giant, Newton's Giant."


The lecture will be an enjoyable time to learn math while exploring Gwanghwamun Street, where symmetry and unit patterns meet; World Cup Park, hidden with shapes and vectors; and the Han River, where cycloids and Euler characteristics can be encountered.


The lecture will be held on June 2 via the Zoom video conferencing platform.


Applications for the course can be made from the 27th on the Seoul Library website → Application & Participation → Course Application. Anyone in upper elementary grades or above can participate for free, and 30 participants will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. For inquiries about the course, please contact Seoul Library.



Lee Jung-soo, director of Seoul Library, said, "I hope this lecture will be a time for students to develop an interest in mathematics and regain confidence in math subjects," adding, "We will continue to develop various educational programs so that all citizens can learn new knowledge and enjoy a reading culture."
