The Chinese Mathematical Society Although we have given the date 1935 for the founding of the Chinese Mathematical Society , there would be a case for giving 1929. The reason is that the Chinese Society for Mathematical Sciences was founded in 1929 and carried out the same functions as the Chinese Mathematical Society until 1936. The foundation of the Chinese Mathematical Society in July 1935 led to the closure of the Chinese Society for Mathematical Sciences in the following year. The first President of the Society was Hu T-F who appointed on the foundation of the Society in 1935. He held the presidency until 1948, seeing the Society through a very difficult period. At first the Society prospered and in 1936 it began publication of two journals, one a research publication, the other a low level popular one. However political events led to great difficulties. In July 1937 a Japanese invasion led to Chinese defeats and by the end of the year Japan had taken both Shanghai and Nanking. By 1938 the country was divided between the part controlled by Japan and the remaining Free China which refused to submit. The Chinese Mathematical Society was no longer able to operate and although in some sense it continued to exist, from 1938 to 1945 it could not function. Japan surrendered in 1945 but China's problems did not end for the country suffered a civil war for four years between Nationalists and Communists. Attempts were made to refound the Chinese Mathematical Society and in 1948 it began again to function in support of mathematics throughout China. Hu T-F, the first President ended his term of office in 1948. The Communist victory led to the creation of the People's Republic of China on 1 October 1949. The Chinese Mathematical Society rapidly expanded under the next President Hua Loo-Keng who was appointed in 1951 and served until 1983. It is now:-

93. ICM 2002 - Closing Ceremony President of the chinese Mathematical Society. Dear Ladies and Gentlemen.You may remember the last words I spoke at the Opening Ceremony. I said http://www.mathunion.org/ICM/closing_speech.html

ICM 2002-Closing Ceremony Speech by Jacob Palis President of IMU Dear Colleagues, Ladies and Gentlemen: At this moment, we are closing one more International Congress of Mathematicians, the 24th of a series that started in 1897 in Zurich in a span of more than one hundred years. Thus, it's time to try to respond to the questions: Is it worthwhile to have such a comprehensive Congress, covering an impressive array of areas of mathematics, with 20 plenary talks, 174 invited lectures and many short communications? Were the lectures well presented in trying to reach a large mathematical audience, avoiding technical details and in offering an overview of the themes discussed and the prospect for research in the future? Is the Congress still attractive to a significant number of mathematicians from all over the world? Has it been organized in a way that led to the presence of a magical atmosphere combining friendship and inspiration for creativity in mathematics? We have posed so many difficult questions and yet we are absolutely certain that the answers are all very positive. Indeed, the echoes from the participants are overwhelming: The Congress was one of the best ever. The lectures provided, to a large extent, a grand vision of today's mathematics and its prospect for tomorrow. About 4,300 colleagues from 101 countries were present, among whom 2,700 are foreigners. Jointly, IMU and the Local Organizing Committee have supported the participation of about 450 foreign mathematicians from developing countries. A substantial part of the IMU support came from its Special Development Fund, to which the following institutions have contributed in the period 1998-2002: American Mathematical Society, Mathematical Society of Japan, London Mathematical Society, Brazilian National Research Council, Société Mathématique de France and Wiskundig Genootschap Netherlands. To them we express our best thanks. Therefore, it's time to look to the future with optimism and determination in the pursuit of our dreams, in search of beauty in mathematics and its use to well serve society.

History of Pascal's Triangle History Construction Applications Patterns and Properties Pascal was born in Clermont, France, in 1623, and died in Paris aged 39. Pascal was a child prodigy, who was educated by his father and is recognised as a great mathematician. In 1642 he invented a calculating machine to help his father, who served as Royal Tax Commissioner at Rouen. Pascal is often credited with the discovery of the mathematical theory of probability, and he also made serious contributions to number theory and geometry. In the mid-1600s, while Pascal was working on one of his mathematical treatises, one of his friends began asking him questions about gambling odds. Pascal's work in this area eventually led to the modern theory of probability, which has initiated the related area of statistics. Little did Pascal know where his work would lead. Nevertheless, since at the core of investigations of chance is the need to count the number of different possibilities, Pascal made use of his arithmetical triangle in 1653, but no account of his method was printed until 1665. Because of the attention that work received, the triangle began to be known as Pascal's Triangle. Even though Pascal’s Triangle is named after the seventeenth century mathematician, several other mathematicians knew about and applied their knowledge of the triangle hundreds of years before Pascal was born. The triangle appears to have been discovered independently by both the Persians and the Chinese during the eleventh century.
