Professor Mahir Hadžić’s recent lecture at the BH School London was a genuinely inspiring and intellectually enriching experience for kids, parents, and community members alike. With clarity and passion, he transformed complex mathematical concepts into accessible, engaging ideas that captivated audiences of all ages.
Through compelling examples—such as the elegant Gauss Trick and a thought-provoking comparison between Newtonian and Einsteinian perspectives—Professor Hadžić brought abstract theories to life. 🧑🏫
His ability to connect mathematics with real-world phenomena was particularly impactful. From self-similarity in nature to patterns in bubbles, space gravity, protein folding, and applications in artificial intelligence, he demonstrated how mathematics is a powerful tool for understanding the world around us. 💫
The lecture didn’t just teach—it inspired. Challenge questions and interactive discussions with school kids encouraged critical thinking and independent problem-solving, making mathematics feel dynamic, relevant, and full of possibility.
One of the most memorable moments was when Professor Hadžić shared his personal journey—from his hometown of Zvornik in Bosnia and Herzegovina to academic excellence at institutions like the University of Vienna, Brown University, MIT, King’s College, and University College London. His story, shaped by mathematical competitions and research, highlighted the vast opportunities that mathematics can offer and resonated deeply with young learners.
We also had the pleasure of welcoming his wife, Dr. Saman Khaled (a Harvard scholar), and their children, whose presence added to the warmth and inspiration of the day. Professor Hadzic’s family’s commitment to education and community left a lasting impact on all who attended.
The lecture not only deepened our appreciation of mathematics but also ignited a renewed enthusiasm among school kids to explore its beauty and boundless potential. 👩🏻🎓🧑🎓
“Direct quote from student Amila Musinovic,’ I really liked today’s talk. He didn’t talk about numbers and calculations only, he spoke about what is really deep inside maths.”
Thank you, Professor Hadzic, for your unforgettable voluntary contribution to our local community. We’re truly grateful for your generosity and impact! ☺️🇧🇦💙👏
