    Extractions: The American Mathematical Society started its existence as the New York Mathematical Society which was founded in 1888. The history of that Society, prior to becoming the American Mathematical Society, is related in the article on the New York Mathematical Society A major motivation for the New York Mathematical Society to become a national mathematical society came about through the International Mathematical Congress held in Chicago in August 1893 in conjunction with the World's Columbian Exposition. The main international speaker was Klein who delivered the Evanston Colloquium lectures over a period of six days. After this Klein toured the United States and visited the New York Mathematical Society where J E McClintock , the President of the Society, introduced him as an:- ... apostle, prophet, evangelist, and teacher of mathematics - excelling in each office ... Klein lectured to the New York Mathematical Society and engaged in an open discussion session. Now Eliakim Moore was the chairman of the organising committee for the International Mathematical Congress which had been held in Chicago and the committee had received 39 papers for publication in a Conference Proceedings. After unsuccessfully attempting to find financial backing for the publication, he approached the New York Mathematical Society and, by June 1894, they had guaranteed up to $1000 to have Macmillan and Co publish the Proceedings. Archibald writes [2]:-

Reason African American Mathematician 1818 - 1893 Charles L. Reason was born July 21, 1818 in New York City to West Indies immigrants Michiel and Elizabeth Reason. Charles attended the African Free School along with his brothers Elmer and Patrick (both who are important historical figures in their own right). An excellent student in mathematics, Reason became an instructor in 1832 at the school at age fourteen (this became a striking matter for the news), receiving a salary of $25 a year. He used some of his earnings to hire tutors to improve his knowledge. Later, he decided to enter the ministry but was rejected because of his race by the General Theological Seminary of the Protestant Episcopal church in New York City. Reason rejected such "sham Christianity" and resigned in protest from St. Philip's Church, the congregation sponsoring his application. Undaunted by Episcopal racism, he studied next at McGrawville College in McGraw, New York. Reason aided in drafting a call to the first New York State Convention of Negroes in 1840 and advocated in New York City a manual-labor school to provide training in the inductrial arts. He created a normal (teaching) school as a remedy to the charge that black teachers were inefficient and incompetent. He decided to pursue a career in teaching, believing strongly that education was the best means for black advancement. In British abolitionist Julia Griffiths's

The American Mathematical Society is pleased to inaugurate a series of public lectures to be given annually at one of its eight sectional meetings. The Department of Mathematics at UNL is honored that the AMS has chosen the Lincoln meeting for its first public lecture and that Abel-prizewinner Sir Michael Atiyah will be the speaker. Sir Michael Atiyah will speak on "The Nature of Space", Friday, October 21 in Kimball Recital Hall at 4:00pm. There will be a reception immediately following the lecture in the Van Brunt Visitors Center. Abstract: The Nature of Space For more than two thousand years philosophers, mathematicians and physicists have struggled to understand the nature of space. Kant studied the role of the human mind, mathematicians examined the logical ramifications of space and physicists investigated experimental phenomena. The story continues to the present day , with increasingly exotic scenarios of vibrating strings in ten dimensional space-time. I shall review the history and present status of the great philosophical controversies in the light of modern developments. Please note: Sir Michael's lecture is free and open to the public.

Indeed, Rose met with Veblen and with G. D. Birkhoff at Harvard before he left for Europe. Rose reported that he and Birkhoff discussed "at length the relation of mathematics to physics and chemistry." But Rose also chose to record Birkhoff's insight on the "human qualities" of the mathematicians in Paris and Germany. As Rose indicated based on his conversation with Birkhoff

The purpose of this article is to examine briefly the nature and consequences of an early twentieth-century program to reorient the American mathematical curriculum, led by mathematician Eliakim Hastings Moore (1862-1932) of the University of Chicago. Moore's efforts, I conclude, were not ultimately very successful, and the reasons for this failure are worth pondering. Like William Mueller's recent article [16], which draws attention to the spirited debates regarding American mathematics education at the end of the nineteenth century, the present article may remind some readers of more recent educational controversies. I don't discourage such thinking, but caution that the lessons of history are not likely to be simple ones.

    Extractions: Dusa McDuff October 18, 1945 - Don't tell Dusa McDuff that girls can't "do" math the 1991 winner of the Ruth Lyttle Satter prize and Honorary Foreign Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences knew at quite an early age that she would one day be a mathematician. The problem for Professor McDuff was never what to become, but how to become it: "My life as a young mathematician was much harder than it needed to be because I was so isolated. I had no role models, and my first attempts at inventing a lifestyle were not very successful" (NAMS 186). Margaret Dusa McDuff was born in London on October 18, 1945. She grew up in Scotland where her father was a professor who taught genetics and wrote books about such diverse topics as art and philosophy. Unlike the mothers of her friends, Dusa's mother worked also, as an architect, and perhaps it was through her that Dusa got a first glimpse at the difficulties of being a professional woman: her mother worked with the civil service in Edinburgh because as a female no other jobs in such a non-traditional field were open to her. But the fact that Dusa's mother was an architect in a time when most women did not work outside the home seems less peculiar in light of the phenomenal women from whom she (and Dusa) descends. Dusa's maternal grandmother was an author and political activist, and her great-grandmother wrote a book in 1911 that is used as a text in colleges even today!

    Extractions: May 5, 1923 - Cathleen Morawetz was born on May 5, 1923, in Toronto, Canada. Her Irish parents were John Synge, a mathematician, and Eleanor Mabel Synge. Cathleen obtained her Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics in 1943 at the University of Toronto, where she studied with Cecilia Krieger . The following year she worked as a technical assistant for inspection of the Board of the United Kingdom and Canada. She received her master's degree at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1946. Cathleen then moved to New York where she edited a book called Supersonic Flow and Shock Waves by Richard Courant and Kurt Friedrichs of New York University. On the completion of the book, she began writing her Ph.D. thesis on imploding shock waves. In 1950, while researching her thesis, Cathleen became a naturalized U.S. citizen. She earned her Ph.D. at New York University in 1951. Cathleen then became a research associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for a year but returned to NYU in 1952. Since then she has spent her entire career there. She was a research associate for five years, then became an assistant professor in 1957, associate professor in 1960, and professor in 1965. She was appointed associate director of the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences in 1978 and deputy director in 1981. She has served as director of the National Cash Register Corporation since 1978 and as chair of the mathematics department of the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences from 1981- 1984. Cathleen became the first woman in the United States to head a mathematical institute when she was named director of the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences in 1984. She is now Professor Emeritus at New York University-Courant Institute.

    Extractions: The Special Development Fund helps IMU to fulfill the important obligation of helping developing countries within the framework of mathematical research. The means of the Fund, which go unreduced to mathematicians from developing countries, are used primarily for travel grants to young mathematicians to make it possible for them to participate in International Congresses of Mathematicians. The Executive Committee of IMU elects an international committee to distribute the grants. Account # 8011913872 The goal now is to collect funds for travel grants for the 2006 International Congress of Mathematicians in Madrid, to have as many qualified young mathematicians from developing countries as participants. For the ICM-2002 in Beijing the IMU financed the trip of 95 young mathematicians and the Chinese Local Organizing Committee kindly covered the local expenses. We hope to increase this number to 120 or even 130 in 2006. As you may know, the American Mathematical Society has asked its members to make a donation to the SDF when paying their membership fees. We hope that other societies could consider a similar action. Also, from the start the London Mathematical Society and the Royal Society have made major contributions. Other countries that have been making important contributions to the Fund are: Brazil, Germany, Finland, France, Holland, Japan, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
