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. Means to the Special Development Fund come from donations. Donations can be sent, at any time and in any convertible currency, to the following account:

The conference will feature more than 20 sessions, with most covering traditional areas of math, but also will include sessions on practical applications of mathematics and cooperation with scientists from other disciplines, such as mathematical finance (which relates probability and investment strategies); harmonic analysis (which applies to music synthesizers and signal analysis); and

63. Online Ethics Center: AMS Ethical Guidelines
    Ethical Guidelines of the american Mathematical Society. To assist in its charteredgoal, the furtherance of the interests of mathematical scholarship  
    http://onlineethics.org/codes/AMScode.html
    
    Extractions: onlineethics.org The Online Ethics Center for Engineering and Science Prepared by the Special Advisory Committee on Professional Ethics, which consisted of Murray Gerstenhaber, Frank Gilfeather, Elliott Lieb, and Linda Keen (chair), and adopted by the Council in the Spring of 1995 in the name of the Society. To assist in its chartered goal, "...the furtherance of the interests of mathematical scholarship and research", and to help in the preservation of that atmosphere of mutual trust and ethical behavior required for science to prosper, the American Mathematical Society, through its Council, sets forth the following guidelines. While it speaks only for itself, these guidelines reflect its expectations of behavior both for its members and for all members of the wider mathematical community including institutions engaged in the education or employment of mathematicians or in the publication of mathematics. It is not intended that something not mentioned here is necessarily outside the scope of AMS interest. These guidelines are not a complete expression of the principles that underlie them but will, it is expected, be modified and amplified by events and experience. These are guidelines, not a collection of rigid rules.

The scheduled talks, symposia, and other presentations will take place the weekend of April 28-29, 2001, at various locations on the Stevens campus. Note: Registration fees are waived for members of the press who wish to attend. For the official AMS website regarding the event, including contact information and the full program for the two days, please visit http://www.ams.org/amsmtgs/2056_program.html Among the presentations will be four from members of Stevens' Department of Mathematical Sciences. Also, five of the department's faculty have organized sessions on six different areas of research. Officiating at the occasion will be Dr. Robert Gilman, associate dean for research affairs at Stevens' School of Applied Sciences and Liberal Arts. The topic of the talk will be Combinatorics, quantum computers, and cellular phones

65. Blackwell-Tapia Lecture Series Is Inaugurated At Cornell Conference
    Blackwell is a former vicepresident of the american Mathematical Society and aformer president of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics.

    Extractions: search: On May 7 and 8, Cornell University held a conference to inaugurate the David Blackwell and Richard Tapia Distinguished Lecture Series in the Mathematical and Statistical Sciences. Both Blackwell, a professor emeritus of mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley, and Tapia, the Noah Harding Professor of Computational and Applied Mathematics at Rice University, attended the two-day conference, which highlighted their contributions as well as those of a new generation of under-represented minority mathematicians and statisticians. The lecture series, established at the initiative of Cornell administrators and faculty, will be given every two years by a distinguished African American, Latino, or Native American mathematician. The lecturer will receive a plaque and an honorarium of $1000. The first speaker will be selected in 2002. "We, the minority communities at Cornell University, would like to honor the mathematical and personal achievements of David Blackwell and Richard Tapia," said Carlos Castillo-Chavez, one of the organizers of the conference and an instigator of the new lecture series. "We feel that it is critically important that current and future generations of African Americans, Latinos, and Native Americans, as well as current and future generations of non-minorities, learn and remember the achievements of these two extraordinarily talented and productive mathematicians. The establishment of this lecture series also recognizes their continuous efforts in creating, supporting, and maintaining opportunities for minority scientists, statisticians and mathematicians across the nation."

69. Math Department Honors Elbert Cox
    As the american Mathematical Monthly article observes, Africanamerican academicsof that era did not have the opportunity to work at research universities  
    http://www.news.cornell.edu/Chronicle/02/2.28.02/ElbertCox.html
    
    Extractions: By Lissa Harris In 1917 three young men graduated from Indiana University with the word "Colored" emblazoned across their academic transcripts. One of them, Elbert Frank Cox, would go on to enter Cornell and become the first black man in history to receive a doctorate in pure mathematics and the first African American to be inducted into the American Mathematical Society (AMS). Elbert Cox, circa 1925, from "A Century of Mathematics in America, Part III," (American Mathematical Society, Providence: 1989). Reprinted by permission of the AMS. Cox's achievements were exceptional, especially for his time. In 1925 the year he graduated from Cornell only 28 doctoral degrees were awarded in mathematics in the entire nation, and up until that year, fewer than 50 African Americans had received doctorates of any kind. Cornell's Department of Mathematics has been honoring Cox this February Black History Month as a pioneer and a key figure in the history of American mathematics. By becoming only the second black student to receive a doctorate in any subject from Cornell (Thomas Wyatt Turner, who received his Ph.D. in biology in 1921, was the first), Cox helped to open the door for other black doctoral candidates. In a letter to mathematics librarian Steven Rockey, Charles W. Carrey Jr., a scholar researching Cox's life and work, notes that partly thanks to Cox's pioneering Ph.D., by1943 another 23 African Americans had received doctorates from Cornell. That number included seven who received their degrees in either mathematics or physics. "His accomplishment helped to make it possible for other black mathematicians, such as Dudley Welcon Woodard, William Waldron Shiefflin Claytor, Marjorie Lee Brown, Evelyn Boyd Granville and David Blackwell, to receive their doctorates from American universities," Carrey wrote.
