"Dr. Angela Tabiri de Ghana: La Reina de las Matemáticas en una misión cuántica para empoderar a las jóvenes"

Conocida en Ghana como la Reina de las Matemáticas, la Dra. Angela Tabiri es la primera africana en ganar la competencia The Big Internet Math Off, un logro notable para alguien que casi no se dedicó a las matemáticas.

The 35-year-old Ghanaian "finds joy in solving puzzles and mathematical questions" and hopes her 2024 win will open up the world of mathematics to other African women - who have traditionally been discouraged from taking the subject.

Sixteen mathematicians were invited to compete for the tongue-in-cheek title of "the world's most interesting mathematician" - a public vote event started in 2018 by The Aperiodical blog.
