International Congress of Chinese Mathematicians (ICCM) Beijing, China December 12 - 16, 1998 The International Congress of Chinese Mathematicians (ICCM) will be held in Beijing during the period of December 12 - December 16, 1998. The 1st ICCM, is financially supported by Mr. Ronnie Chan and Mr. Gerald Chan. The generous donation of the Chan brothers is also instrumental to the formation of the Morningside Center in Beijing. The conference will consist of plenary addresses, 45-minute addresses, short contributed talks, as well as poster sessions. For details, see Program below. In addition, there will be four Morningside Lectures . It is expected that English will be used in most talks. During the opening ceremony, Morningside Awards will be given out. It is our goal to continue having ICCMs in a regular and rotating basis. After the first meeting in Mainland China, we anticipate that future ICCMs will be hosted by institutions in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore. List below is various information about the congress.

Chinese Mathematicians Indian Mathematicians "The Chinese mathematicians were proficient in solving many kinds of algebraic problems. Many of their methods probably stemmed from geometric considerations but in the end were apparently translated into purely algebraic procedure [...] it also appears that the Chinese scholars were primarily interested in solving problems of importance to the Chinese bureaucracy [...] Although the thirteenth-century mathematicians exploited the counting board to the fullest, its very use imposed limits. Equations remained numerical, so the Chinese were unable to develop a theory of equations comparable to the one developed several centuries later in the West..."

Development of Mathematics in Ancient China Chinese Math Texts The history of Chinese math and mathematicians was mostly lost or destroyed over the centuries. For example, the despotic emperor Shih Huang-ti of the Ch'in dynasty (221-207 B.C.) ordered the burning of books in 213 B.C. Scholars in the following Han period (206 B.C. to 220 A.D.) had to transcribe China's literary and scientifice traditions from memory or remaining fragments of scroll. Knowledge of astronomy and other areas was often handed down from father to son, and only later recorded in texts. Unfortunately, very few texts dedicated to mathematical astronomy have survived. Since the 16 century, Chinese math history has also been denied and ignored in the Western dominance of science and technology, both inside and outside China. However, there are several existing Chinese applied mathematics texts, which are collections of problems and solutions organized in chapters according to their practical applications. These texts proves that the Chinese were the first society to use some of the most basic and advanced mathematical principles and concepts utilized in modern times. Two of these texts are the Chou Pei and Chiu Chang. Chou Pei The oldest existing Chinese texts containing formal mathematical theories were produced during the Han period. The

This is not mentioned in the Nine Chapters , but Chinese Hua Ma numbers do use place value for arithmetic.

Chinese Fraction Reducing Description: This lesson describes a method for reducing fractions used by the Chinese people as early as the first century AD. The method involves finding a common divisor, then reducing the fraction by that divisor. Curriculum Objectives: To introduce students to the concept of reducing or simplifying fractions. To show students a way to find the common divisor of a fraction. To expose students to a mathematical process from a non-European culture. Key Words: fractions simplifying fractions reducing fractions common divisor numerator denominator division Suggested Use: Chinese Fraction Reducing could be used in a basic mathematics, prealgebra or algebra course when simplifying or reducing fractions is being instructed or reviewed. CHINESE FRACTION REDUCING Near the beginning of the first century AD, about 2000 years ago, the Chinese mathematical text called the Chiu Chang was written. No one knows for sure who wrote the text, which contains nine chapters of mathematical topics important to Chinese society at the time. Problems and solutions are presented in the text, and since the answers can be difficult to understand, different Chinese mathematicians over the years have supplied commentary and helped to make the problems and solutions clearer. The first chapter, called Fang thien (Land Surveying), is mostly concerned with calculating the areas of fields (thien) using the basic unit of measurement, the fang (square unit). This chapter also discusses methods for working with fractions, including a way for simplifying (reducing) them. If you have a reducible fraction called m/n, the rule from the Chinese text for reducing m/n is this:

ICM 2002 in Beijing, China The International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) was held in Beijing, China, August 20-28. The AMS posted the announcement about Fields Medalists Laurent Lafforgue (Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques, Bures-sur-Yvette, France) and Vladimir Voevodsky (Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, NJ), and Nevanlinna prizewinner Madhu Sudan (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA), as well as information about the awardees and background on their work on the AMS website as soon as the awards were given at the Opening Ceremony. Following the announcement, articles about the Fields Medalists appeared in newspapers and journals worldwide. The ICM website has posted highlights of the meeting , including the Opening Ceremony at the Great Hall of the People, the Fields Medals and Nevanlinna Prizes, and links to the complete scientific program. China President Jiang Zemin attended the Opening Ceremony and expressed the country’s support of the Congress and mathematics. The ICM website also provides video clips of the meeting. For seven days during the Congress the AMS hosted an exhibit of its recent book publications (including the World Directory of Mathematicians that the AMS distributes for the IMU) and provided access to MathSciNet. Many mathematicians visited the exhibit, and many of those who have written reviews for

Problems and Puzzles Many people have long had a tendency to associate problems and puzzles with the 'Chinese' but nobody really knows why they have been given this East Asian origin. One suggestion is that perhaps the Europeans were inclined to ascribe puzzles the name of what was, to them, a puzzling civilization. Diagram 13.Puzzle of the Rings. The above picture describes the 'Puzzle of the Chinese Rings'. This problem was first found by Cardan but was later treated at length in mathematical terms by John Wallis in approximately 1685. Lastly, in the nineteenth century it was discussed using binary arithmetic notation by Gros. This puzzle was commonly known in China, at the beginning of this century as 'Ring of Linked Rings' or in Chinese translation as Lien nuan chhuan Another geometrical puzzle related to the Chinese in the rearrangement of a set of wooden pieces (a square, a rhombus and five triangles of different sizes). This puzzle is known as being one of the oldest amusements of the East. To the Chinese this puzzle is known as the 'Seven Subtle Shapes' or Chhi Chhiao . However, to the Europeans it was known as 'tangrams'. This puzzle is related to geometrical dissections, static games and also to the great wealth of geometrical forms employed by Chinese builders through the centuries in the lattice-work of windows.
