Ceremonial Lecture of Academician Gutman, SASA Medal Recipient

Academician Ivan Gutman, SASA Medal laureate for 2021, in the field of natural and technical sciences, is to deliver a ceremonial lecture titled ’Convergence of Chemistry and Mathematics – Fifty-Odd Years’, at the SASA Grand Hall, on Thursday, 10 March, at 12 o’clock.

The first more meaningful convergence of chemistry and mathematics took place around 400 BC when the then-known elements were connected to regular polyhedra. Since then there have been numerous attempts to apply mathematics in chemistry, and sometimes chemical ideas brought about new mathematic phenomena and results. The lecture will feature the most important events in the two and a half millennium history of mathematical chemistry.

The second, shorter part will present the results Academician Gutman has achieved over the past 50 years.

A live broadcast of the conference is available on the official SASA website: (https://www.sanu.ac.rs/direktan-prenos/).
