Dra. Pilar Bayer<\/p><\/div>\n

Pilar Bayer<\/u><\/strong><\/em><\/a>, Emerita Professor at the University of Barcelona<\/strong>, founder of the Barcelona Number Theory Seminar<\/strong>, member of the Governing Board<\/strong> of the Catalan Mathematical Society<\/strong> and Numerary Member and Vice-President of the Experimental Sciences Section of the Royal European Academy of Doctors<\/strong> (READ), took part on 29 April, alongside various groups and soloists, in the 40th edition of the Spring Concert<\/strong> revived by the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science of the University of Barcelona<\/strong>. The event took place in the Great Hall, in the Historic Building where the Faculty also has its main headquarters, and featured performances by Mr Roura\u2019s Band<\/strong>, Konstantin Dyakonov<\/strong>, Misterio Quartet<\/strong>, Tom\u00e1s Sanz<\/strong>, D\u00fao Pulso<\/strong>, Coral\u00b7lari<\/strong> and Bayer herself.<\/p>\n

The concert offered a blend of styles, alternating classical music, jazz, folk, choral singing and tango. The academic performed on the piano major songs by Elvis Presley<\/strong>, such as \u201cAnyway You Want Me\u201d<\/strong>, \u201cCan\u2019t Help Falling in Love\u201d<\/strong> and \u201cTreat Me Nice\u201d<\/strong>, in a tribute to the great rock and roll legend. \u201cAfter seven years without being able to enjoy the Faculty\u2019s Spring Concert, this year it resumes on the occasion of its 40th anniversary. The recovery of this initiative would not have been possible without the collaboration of all the musicians who took part; Pol Lobo, organiser of the concert, and the dean\u2019s team of the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science,\u201d stated the posters and programmes for the event.<\/p>\n

\"\"Beyond her long and successful career as a teacher and researcher, Bayer is a recognised populariser of the relationship between music and mathematics. In this regard, last October she published the article \u201cLa base matem\u00e0tica del so digital\u201d<\/strong> in the magazine \u201cSerra d\u2019Or\u201d<\/strong>, in which she addressed the connection between mathematics and music over centuries of scientific and artistic thought, analysing the numerical laws that enable the understanding and reproduction of sound. In other talks on the subject, always in an informative tone, the expert has explained the simultaneous use of musical and mathematical languages. She has also presented the mathematical concepts inherent in the new technologies that make possible both the reproduction of music in digital format and its generation through artificial intelligence techniques. She also took part in the latest session of the HarmoniesUPC<\/strong> series, held in the Assembly Hall of the Terrassa School of Industrial, Aerospace and Audiovisual Engineering<\/strong>, a centre affiliated with the Polytechnic University of Catalonia<\/strong>, under the title \u201cRitmes i probabilitats. Les matem\u00e0tiques del jazz\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The academic was invested last year as magistra honoris causa<\/em> by the Faculty of Mathematics and Statistics of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia. Bayer is also a numerary academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences and Arts of Barcelona<\/strong> and of the Royal Academy of Exact, Physical and Natural Sciences<\/strong>. She has received the Narc\u00eds Monturiol Medal<\/strong> for scientific and technological merit and was recognised last December with the Creu de Sant Jordi<\/strong>, the highest distinction awarded by the Government of Catalonia<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
