Timeline
Jorge Nuno Silva (born 1956) is a Portuguese mathematician who taught at the University of Lisbon, starting in 1995 and retiring in 2023.
His interests encompass the pedagogy of mathematics, history of mathematics, history of board games, mathematical games, and recreational mathematics.
He is the chief editor for Recreational Mathematics Magazine and Board Game Studies Journal.
In 1974, Silva completed his secondary education at the National Lyceum of Viana do Castelo.
Subsequently, in 1976/77, he enrolled at the University of Lisbon School of Medicine.
In 1983, he earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Pure Mathematics from the University of Lisbon Faculty of Sciences (FCUL).
In 1991 he obtained a Master of Arts degree at UC Berkeley, writing Some Notes on Game Bounds under the direction of Elwyn Berlekamp.
In 1994 he got a Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley with the dissertation, "Some Notes on the Theory of Hilbert Spaces of Analytic Functions on the Unit Disc" under doctoral advisor Donald Erik Sarason.
From 1995 until his retirement in April 2023 he was a professor at the University of Lisbon.
First at the Department of Mathematics (1995-2006), and then at the Department of History and Philosophy of Science (2006-2023).
He is a teacher trainer for Associação Ludus and the Portuguese Mathematical Society.
In 1998 Silva wrote Berkley Problems of Mathematics, a compendium of problems which is widely used by PhD candidates as a reference.
He is president of the Ludus Association (Associação Ludus), an organization for popularizing the culture and history of mathematics.
He is a member of Centro Interuniversitário de História das Ciências e da Tecnologia (CIUHCT)
Silva has been involved in efforts to popularize mathematics around the world.
In a 2009 interview he stated his guiding philosophy: "Mathematics is, by its very nature, the pure joy of thinking, and the same goes for board games. There is a lack of challenging activities in our Western culture. Games can close this gap; there are many interrelationships between mathematics, history, and culture."
In an interview with Diário de Notícias he said, "One day a great game will be invented to teach Mathematics and the world will change."
Silva is the co-founder of the Circo Matemático which, since its founding in 2011, has toured more than a dozen countries on four continents promoting the popularization of mathematics.
In Portugal he has had an enormous effect on mathematics in public education and he often appears on Rádio e Televisão de Portugal (RTP) as an expert on games.
