Math Encounters: "Mission to Mars: human mission challenges and the math that addresses them" with Kevin Bowman on June 8, 2022

For more than half a century, we have sent landers, rovers, and even a drone to Mars. But what will it take for humans to get there? Discover the immensity of this quest as you embark on the most epic journey ever undertaken by humans in this presentation led by University of Central Lancashire mathematician Kevin Bowman.

Special introduction by Richard Garriott de Cayeux, video game developer, entrepreneur, and astronaut.

Math Encounters is a public presentation series celebrating the spectacular world of mathematics, presented by the Simons Foundation and the National Museum of Mathematics.
