Clara Grima
Clara Isabel Grima Ruiz (born 1971) is a professor of applied mathematics at the University of Seville, specializing in computational geometry. She is known for her research on scutoids (polyhedron-like shapes that can pack the space between pairs of curved surfaces)[1] and for her popularization of mathematics.
Education and career
[edit]Grima was born in 1971 in Coria del Río. She completed her doctorate in mathematics from the University of Seville in 1998, and is a professor of applied mathematics at the same university.[2][3]
Grima also serves as president for the committee on popularization of the Royal Spanish Mathematical Society.[4]
Books
[edit]Grima's books include:
- Computational Geometry on Surfaces: Performing Computational Geometry on the Cylinder, the Sphere, the Torus, and the Cone (with Alberto Márquez, Kluwer, 2001)[5]
- Mati y sus mateaventuras: Hasta el infinito y más allá (with Raquel Gu, Espasa, 2013)[6]
- Las matemáticas vigilan tu salud: Modelos sobre epidemias y vacunas (Mathematics watches your health, with Enrique F. Borja, Next Door Publishers, 2017), on the applications of mathematics in epidemiology and personal health[7]
- ¡Que las matemáticas te acompañen! (May mathematics be with you, Ariel, 2018) on the importance of mathematics in understanding the world[6][8]
