As a chapter, we organise our activities around three steady pillars: online talks, documentary & film evenings, and the ODE–Integration Bee. This page gives a quick overview and links to detailed hubs for each pillar.
Focused online sessions where our students meet lecturers, researchers, alumni, and friends of the chapter. Short, clear talks that strengthen core courses and introduce active research directions.
Gatherings where we watch maths-related films and documentaries together – such as biopics, problem-solving stories, and science-themed movies – and then discuss what they say about study, research, and life.
Our local contribution to the ODE–Integration Bee project founded by Abdulhafeez Ayinde Abdulsalam: a contest and training ecosystem around integrals, ODEs, and problem solving, with practice material and yearly archives.
Our online events allow us to learn from people who are not on campus physically: alumni abroad, researchers in other universities, and friends of the chapter who care about teaching.
The detailed schedule, links, and archive of past sessions live in our dedicated hub.
Documentary evenings are our regular gatherings for maths-related films and documentaries. We might watch a biopic such as The Man Who Knew Infinity, a film that follows a mathematician’s life, or a documentary about problem solving and scientific work, and then sit together to talk about it.
The documentary hub keeps a record of what we have watched, the themes discussed, and the posters used, so that future committees can build on a living tradition instead of starting from scratch.
The ODE–Integration Bee is a project that began at the University of Ibadan and has grown into an international network of contests and training events. It was founded by Abdulhafeez Ayinde Abdulsalam and initially organised with Segun Olofin Akerele and a small group of collaborators. Our chapter hosts the local edition and contributes through problem design, training, and outreach.
The dedicated ODE–Bee hub collects the story of each edition: problems, solutions, posters, and reflections from students who took part or helped to run things. The international home of the project is odeintbee.com.
