Calakmul National Park, Mexico For many years modern people looked on the Maya as tranquil, thoughtful, mysterious counterpoints to the prosaic, bloodthirsty Aztecs. They were the Greeks of the New World to the Aztecs’ Romans. The image worked fairly well. Since nobody could translate Mayan hieroglyphs, and the civilization’s great cities had become deserted long before Europeans arrived in Mexico, people were free to speculate almost whatever they wanted about the Maya. Where Cortez had Bernal Diaz del Castillo to chronicle the conquest of Tenochtitlan and the Aztec empire, the witnesses to the decline of Mayan civilization had been dead for hundreds of years. The gradual unearthing and restoration of Mayan cities presented the world with a romantic vision of stolid tropical farmers who had husbanded their surpluses to build urban centers with magnificent temples, plazas and public buildings. From the tops of some of those structures, sophisticated stone-age astronomers observed the skies and created a calendar more accurate than our own Gregorian.

Formula “1-2-3”, which is a three-pronged objective to firstly, raise English proficiency, secondly, maintain high mathematics and science standards and thirdly, preserve mother-tongue proficiency, is the most sensible and sound education policy to pursue for a multi-racial, multi-lingual, multi-cultural and multi-religious society like Malaysia. I had previously cited the examples of Nobel Science Laureates, like the 1998 Nobel Laureate in physics, Daniel Tsui Chye, the 1986 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry Yuan T. Lee, and the other Nobel Laureates in Physics Samuel C.C. Ting (1976), Chen Ning Yang (1957) and Tsung-Dao Lee (1957) who achieved academic excellence and international renown because they had their earlier grounding in mathematics and science in their mother-languages in primary and secondary education, subsequenhtly acquiring English proficiency.

   Extractions: Re: Proposal to Hold the International Congress of Mathematicians 2002 in Beijing, China It is my honor, on behalf of the Chinese Mathematical Society (CMS), to earnestly apply to you and through you to the Site Selecting Committee of IMU for hosting the International Congress of Mathematicians 2002 in Beijing, China. This application has received broad support not only from CMS members but also from the Chinese Government and the institutions concerned. In ancient China, brilliant achievements were made in mathematics. In this century, modern mathematics has also witnessed fair spread and healthy development in China. In this process, Prof. Loo-keng Hua, Prof. S.S. Chern, and a number of prominent Chinese mathematicians have made outstanding contributions. In the past decade or so, special progress in research and education of mathematics has been achieved, and academic exchanges were considerably increased between Chinese mathematicians and their overseas counterparts.

   Extractions: EDITORIAL "Southeast Asia and Mathematics" Mitsuo Morimoto Summary : A workshop in Thailand Sandwich Program in the Philippines CDE's support for Vietnam ICME - 9 in WMY 2000 A workshop in Thailand In January 1997 a Workshop on Analysis was held in Suranaree University of Technology, Thailand. Professor Huzihiro Araki was the Japanese organizer and chose eight fields of analysis: operator algebras, function algebras, harmonic analysis, wavelets, hyperfunctions, Wiener functional integrals, solvable lattice models, and non-commutative differential geometry. I was invited to give an introductory lecture on hyperfunctions. As newspapers have reported, the spectacular success of Thai economy can be felt during a short drive between the airport and the city center of Bangkok. Applied Science has been developing satisfactorily in Thailand. However, the growth of theoretical science has lagged behind and Thailand is not doing much in mainstream theoretical sciences, especially in mathematics. At this stage in the progress of the country, Thailand felt a need to promote pure mathematics. With this in mind, Professor Sidney Mitchel, an American professor working at Chulalokorn University, organized the workshop.

Independent of Asian mathematicians, Mayan mathematicians conceived of the zero. Their cities lasted hundreds of years, dotted throughout the lush rainforest of present day southeastern Mexico, Guatemala and Belize. Then, seemingly overnight, they were abandoned and the civilization collapsed. Some scholars speculated that an ecological disaster, such as over-farming or the destruction of aquifers, strained the carrying ability of the land. The cities, which relied on provisioning by the countryside, could no longer function when the farmers themselves were starving.

    Extractions: Valley Unitarian Universalist Church Social Action Sermon - March 1999 "Exploring Diversity" As the Social Action Committee cast about for ideas for this service, we turned to the leadership at the Unitarian Universalist Association for guidance. One program we found was "Journey Toward Wholeness," an anti-oppression and multiculturalism initiative five years in the making. The Faith in Action department of the UUA developed a "Journey Toward Wholeness Sunday" program for the first quarter of this year. Its purpose was to provide congregations with an opportunity to raise funds: two-thirds of which they could use for anti-racism training and racial justice programs, and one-third of which the UUA would collect for related projects. Ultimately, we chose "Exploring Diversity" as today’s theme. Why? Because we keep hearing it again and again: in our own monthly meetings, during last year’s visioning dialogue’s, in circles of conversation throughout our church, in the community and on TV. People here say they would like to see more diversity in our church. But what do we
