Ingredients of the talk shows I & II
MAC's TalkShow is initiated for the purpose of expanding the mathematical understanding into the Cambodian community, and encouraging people to do more mathematics and science in general. In this program, we invite people from different mathematical backgrounds and careers to share their experience in learning, doing research, and some perspectives onto the scientific development and well-being as a whole. First, we aim to start this event in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, and spread it all over the various part of the country, from the high schools to the university levels.

"From proof to pedagogy: A Journey through mathematics and education''
With a background in pure mathematics and a current role as a teacher trainer, the speaker has transformed from a seeker of abstraction, rigor, and theoretical elegance into a designer of pedagogical clarity, skill development, and classroom realism. This talk offers a personal perspective on learning and teaching mathematics, exploring how mathematical thinking can evolve beyond proof to empower learners, inform teaching practice, and respond to the cultural and civic needs of Cambodian education.
A brief biography of the speaker:
Monyrattanak obtained his PhD degree in 2022, from Centro de Investigación en Matemáticas (CIMAT), Mexico. He wrote his PhD thesis on C^*-algebra, a subject where it lies at the intersection between analysis and algebra. Currently, he is working at the National Institute of Education (NIE), with a main role as a trainer of future mathematics teachers and as a Cambodian educational transformer in general. Apart from this, he is also serving as a contract mathematics lecturer at the Royal University of Phnom Penh (RUPP), where he has taught various subjects including real analysis, general topology, and measure theory.
Vanny DOEM, PhD Fellow
Title of the second talk show II
''Discourse on fear and method of mathematics''
The most difficult thing in mathematics is to overcome fear. What is the fear of mathematics? Fear of being judged, fear of being wrong, and asking stupid questions; fear is the real enemy of our imagination and the obstacle that blocks understanding and makes us feel like fools. Fear is a natural phenomenon, and can happen to everyone at every moment of life. Then how can one overcome fears? The speaker will discuss some practical discourse and experiment with each technique in possible rigor, through the reflection of an established mathematician, Alexander Grothendieck, plus his personal inner experience.
A brief biography of the speaker:
Vanny is a research fellow at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur, India. Currently, he is writing his PhD thesis on homotopy theory, particularly on equivariant rational homotopy groups of sphere spectrum. Vanny has also served as a general organizer at the Mathematical Association of Cambodia (MAC) since 2020. There, he has helped many Cambodian students to do their higher studies abroad and has lectured on many advanced topics in theoretical mathematics, including algebraic topology, representation theory, and homological algebra. He is also involved in leading several missions in developing the mathematical sector in Cambodia: organizing monthly webinars, workshops, and talk shows in various institutions in the country.
