Extractions: THE HISTORY OF THE EUROPEAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY : 1990-98 by David A R Wallace Glasgow, Scotland, U.K. October, 1999 Introduction Before Madralin (* Note: Strict Polish spelling requires a special font for the first 'a'). Madralin 27-28 October 1990 Madralin, which is situated in a wooded area some 20 kilometres from Warsaw, is the location of an attractive country residence of the Polish Academy of Sciences. The delegates assembled in this residence with a strong sense of purpose and with the confident expectation of the eventual founding of the EMS. Of the 28 mathematical societies represented at Madralin, 27 wished to join the European Mathematical Society (EMS) as full members. The remaining society was the Mathematical Society of the former German Democratic Republic (DDR) which, owing to political changes, was about to terminate its independent existence. Sunday (28 October, 1990) was an exhilarating day, sunny of sky, and crisp of temperature. The omens were therefore propititious when the European Mathematical Council agreed unanimously to establish the EMS, constitutionally under Finnish Law with its legal seat at Helsinki. The gestation period having been protracted, the delegates were pleased to toast the birth of the EMS with liquid hospitality from their Polish hosts. In honour of the occasion, B. Bojarski, on behalf of the Polish Academy of Sciences, along with A. Pelczar, President of the Polish Mathematical Society (PMS), presented a medal, commemorating the 70th anniversary of the PMS, to the Chairman, Sir Michael Atiyah, for passing on to the incoming President of the nascent EMS.

http://cms.jcmf.cz/emsweekend/

Extractions: Europe has a long tradition in Mathematics. The development of Mathematics in Europe was almost always on a national, or even regional, basis. One should therefore speak of "traditions" rather than a single "tradition" in Mathematics in Europe. This was of course a reflection of the political disputes and cultural differences among the many european nationalities. However, the last two decades have witnessed major changes in these state of affairs: many of the political conflicts have disapeared and the information revolution has broken national barriers. Meanwhile, a European sense of identity is slowly growing. The European Mathematical Society (EMS) has helped bringing these changes to the European mathematical community through its various activities, including the organization of meetings and workshops, such as the European Congress of Mathematics and the EMS Summer Schools. We follow the scenario suggested by EMS on series of smaller, more frequent, meetings in specific areas of mathematics: the EMS Mathematical Weekends. They offer a chance for European and other mathematicians working in related areas to get together and interact on a more permanent basis. This is the second meeting in a newly established series, following the

This is the reason for that the access to specialized information is decisive in mathematics. The number of research articles in mathematics, which appear each year has grown from less than 1.000 in 1870 to approximately 60.000 in 1996. This explosion of documents is due to the increase of the number of mathematicians all over the world , following the growing impact of mathematics in the different fields of sciences (physics, biology, etc.) and economics (top industries, aerospace branch for exemple). It is easy to understand that the databases have central position today: They have got an structuring role in the developement of utilities for orientation and analysis.

http://wmy2000.math.jussieu.fr/9-rpamaths.htm

Extractions: by Vagn Lundsgaard Hansen, chair of EMScommittee on WMY 2000 Raising Public Awareness of Mathematics (RPAMaths) is probably the most important goal originally set for the World Mathematical Year 2000. And there are good reasons for that. The role of mathematics in society is subtle and not generally recognized in the needs of people in everyday life and most often it remains totally hidden in scientific and technological advancements. The old saying ``The one who lives hidden lives best" is not true in present day society. If a subject becomes invisible, it may soon be forgotten and eventually it may even disappear. Mathematics has a prominent place in school curricula all over the world and probably nobody can imagine such a fate for our subject. But if we do not constantly care about the image of mathematics, we will see continuing pressures to lower the amount of mathematics at primary schools, secondary schools and at the university level. Mathematics is exciting to many people but at the same time is considered difficult and somewhat inaccessible by more. Since mathematics is a fundamental cornerstone in several diverse areas of society, it is important for civilization as a whole that mathematicians do their utmost to help explaining and clarifying the role of mathematics. In the back of their minds most people find that mathematics is important, but they may have forgotten why. We have to find ways of informing them. Displaying posters with mathematical messages at public places, making videos, producing booklets, arranging exhibitions and activities related to mathematics, in particular to the contents of the posters, can prove to be very effective in such an endeavour.

Extractions: INTERNATIONAL MATHEMATICAL OLYMPIAD Awards Meeting The Awards Meeting at the Royal Society on 23 September was held to honour the UK team, which participated in the recent International Mathematical Olympiad in Glasgow. Professor Adam McBride (Strathclyde University), the Academic Director, presided and was ably supported in the meeting by the UK IMO Team Leader, Dr Geoff Smith (University of Bath). The UK team members received two silver medals and two bronze medals, which were presented; moreover all the team members and reserves were honoured and thanked for their hard work, and dedication to Mathematics. A description of aspects of the Olympiad was then given by several members of the team, each of whom spoke well and with verve and enthusiasm. These contributions were much appreciated by the audience. As is customary, we were then entertained by a lecture, which was given this year by Dr David Acheson (Oxford University) who spoke wonderfully on Mathematics, Magic and the Electric Guitar, even to the extent of giving a short recital on his electric guitar. Needless to say there was tumultuous applause! The London Mathematical Society is very pleased to have given substantial financial support to the Committee which organised the International Mathematical Olympiad in Glasgow 2002. The benefit to UK Mathematicians of our support for this International Gathering was clearly considerable!

Extractions: LMS/BSHM JOINT MEETING ON THE FOUR-COLOUR PROBLEM A meeting commemorating the 150th anniversary of the four-colour problem and the 25th anniversary of its published solution took place on 23 October 2002 at University College London, in the attractive Cruciform Lecture Theatre. This event, organised jointly by the London Mathematical Society and the British Society for the History of Mathematics, was the centrepiece of a whole week of commemorative events at six venues with four guest speakers from the US. The afternoon meeting was attended by about 100 people. It opened with a short welcoming speech by Dr June Barrow-Green, Vice-President of the BSHM, who remarked on the appropriateness of time and place of the meeting 150 years to the day of the posing of the problem by a student at University College and thanked the LMS for its support and encouragement to the BSHM over many years. After tea in the North Cloisters, we returned for a short formal LMS meeting chaired by Trevor Stuart, at which several new members signed the LMS membership book. This was followed by two talks on more recent work. Dan Archdeacon (Vermont) gave a lively presentation of the work of Gerhard Ringel, Ted Youngs and others on problems that involve the colouring of maps on general surfaces (both orientable and non-orientable), using the underlying ideas of current and voltage graphs. Finally, Robin Thomas (Atlanta) gave an exciting lecture in which he outlined the more recent solution by Robertson, Sanders, Seymour and himself; although based on the approach of Appel and Haken, it was simpler to understand, and involved only half as many configurations as those given by Appel and Haken. He also outlined some unexpected connections between the four-colour problem and problems from vector algebra, number theory and Lie groups, and concluded by stressing that the four-colour problem is by no means the end of the road there are several unsolved problems that generalize the four-colour problem, to whose solutions Thomas and his co-workers have recently been making exciting progress.
