DUMG Talk by Dr Reinier Díaz Millán
Abstract
Hidden within the fabric of mathematics lies a result so universal that it appears across cultures, sciences, and even art. Its countless proofs span from ancient scrolls to presidential sketches, yet its essence remains as captivating as ever. This talk will not only revisit the mystery behind it but also reveal why, after thousands of years, it continues to challenge, inspire, and surprise.
