This year marks the 550th anniversary of the passing of Ali Kuşçu, who died on 7 Sha'ban 879 / December 17, 1474. On this occasion, a conference series has been organized in collaboration with our Institute and the Fatih Municipality Zeyrek Academy to evaluate Kuşçu, one of the significant figures in the history of science, through his works and fields of study that reflect his vast knowledge. The fifth conference in the series will feature faculty members from our Institute's teaching staff: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Elif Baga, Asst. Prof. Dr. Zehra Bilgin, and Research Assistant Dr. Sena Aydın. The conference, titled "Computation (Hisâb), Algebra (Cebir), Mensuration (Misâha), and Optics (Menâzır): Ali Kuşçu as a Mathematician," aims to introduce Kuşçu's works on mathematics and natural sciences and present their views.
The conference will begin at 15:30 on Saturday, November 30, 2024, at the Fatih Culture and Arts Center.
