The May meeting of the Malta Mathematical Society will feature a popular talk by Joseph Mamo entitled "The Circle Revisited".

Whether as a symbol of perfection or as a mathematical object with interesting properties, the circle has a special significance in human culture. Closely associated with the circle is the number pi, whose value has been evaluated to more than 51 billion digits. The colourful story of the circle is traced in this talk in a language accessible to all. It is a story of innovation and ingenuity.

The meeting will be held on Tuesday at 6 p.m. in the Engineering Lecture Theatre of the University of Malta (entrance through car park 2). Entrance is free for members, and a token donation of 25c for non-members.
