Extractions: General information History : The European Mathematical Society (EMS) was founded in 1990 in Madralin near Warsaw (Poland). Discussions to constitute such a society started in Helsinki in 1978 on the occasion of the International Mathematical Congress. The discussions were conducted within the European Mathematical Council, an initiative of Sir Michael Atiyah. ( More on the history of the EMS 1990-1998. Purpose : The purpose of the Society is to further the development of all aspects of mathematics in the countries of Europe. In particular, the Society aims to promote research in mathematics and its applications. It will assist and advise on problems of mathematical education. It concerns itself with the broader relation of mathematics to society. In short, it seeks to establish a sense of identity amongst European mathematicians.

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.

Extractions: SOUTH ASIAN HISTORY Pages from the history of the Indian sub-continent: Science and Mathematics in India History of Mathematics in India In all early civilizations, the first expression of mathematical understanding appears in the form of counting systems. Numbers in very early societies were typically represented by groups of lines, though later different numbers came to be assigned specific numeral names and symbols (as in India) or were designated by alphabetic letters (such as in Rome). Although today, we take our decimal system for granted, not all ancient civilizations based their numbers on a ten-base system. In ancient Babylon, a sexagesimal (base 60) system was in use. The Decimal System in Harappa In India a decimal system was already in place during the Harappan period, as indicated by an analysis of Harappan weights and measures. Weights corresponding to ratios of 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, and 500 have been identified, as have scales with decimal divisions. A particularly notable characteristic of Harappan weights and measures is their remarkable accuracy. A bronze rod marked in units of 0.367 inches points to the degree of precision demanded in those times. Such scales were particularly important in ensuring proper implementation of town planning rules that required roads of fixed widths to run at right angles to each other, for drains to be constructed of precise measurements, and for homes to be constructed according to specified guidelines. The existence of a gradated system of accurately marked weights points to the development of trade and commerce in Harappan society.

http://www.ilovemaths.com/ind_mathe.htm

Extractions: The most fundamental contribution of ancient India in mathematics is the invention of decimal system of enumeration, including the invention of zero. The decimal system uses nine digits (1 to 9) and the symbol zero (for nothing) to denote all natural numbers by assigning a place value to the digits. The Arabs carried this system to Africa and Europe. The Vedas and Valmiki Ramayana used this system, though the exact dates of these works are not known. MohanjoDaro and Harappa excavations (which may be around 3000 B.C. old) also give specimens of writing in India. Aryans came 1000 years later, around 2000 B.C. Being very religious people, they were deeply interested in planetary positions to calculate auspicious times, and they developed astronomy and mathematics towards this end. They identified various nakshatras (constellations) and named the months after them. They could count up to 10 , while the Greeks could count up to 10 and Romans up to 10 . Values of irrational numbers such as and were also known to them to a high degree of approximation. Pythagoras Theorem can be also traced to the Aryan's

Extractions: Heathen numbers could lead to revolution in computing Base numbers were invented today to the delight of mathematicians throughout the Christian world but to the bemusement of Europe's largely innumerate and illiterate populace. Italian mathematician Leonardi Fibonacci has dramatically instigated a revolution in modern mathematics by suggesting that the Hindu-Arabic method of numbering be adopted by European scholars, who have been restricted in their mathematical calculations by the use of Roman numerals. At a recent signing of his book outlining this new approach, "Liber Abbaci" (meaning Book of the Abacus or Book of Calculating) Fibonacci addressed gob-smacked admirers saying: "These heathen numbers offer untold calculating power. Why, they can enable a simple herdsmen to compute to quantity of offal required to feed a medium sized piglet based on the girth of the brute alone." An unconventional mathematical expert, Fibonacci was educated by Moors in North Africa where he learnt of the Hindu-Arabic application of mathematics. His eccentricity is demonstrated by the fact that while travelling around Europe he has often been known to use to pseudonym Bigollo, which means good-for-nothing traveller.

http://www.emis.unne.edu.ar/individuals/membership.html

Extractions: Usually membership in the EMS is organised by the 46 European mathematical societies, who are members of EMS (check the list of members ). Normally joining EMS as an individual member through an EMS member society is simple: one just pays the extra amount (15 euro) for EMS membership when paying the regular membership fee. This is the easiest way and in most cases the most economical one, too. ... as an individual member It is also possible to join EMS as an individual member directly, applying through the Secretariat of EMS. In this case the membership fee is higher (60 euro, exceptions see below) due to the additional costs to EMS. The principal reasons for joining the European Mathematical Society may be altruistic: to encourage European mathematicians to cooperate, to support European mathematicians working under difficult circumstances, or to support efforts to get backing for mathematics from the European Union. But there are benefits to individuals as well: EMS Newsletter, published 4 times a year for no extra charge;

Extractions: Third U.S. president Thomas Jefferson in 1792 (when he was Secretary of State): "Comparing them by their faculties of memory, reason, and imagination, it appears to me that in memory [the Negro] are equal to the whites; in reason much inferior, as I think one could scarcely be found capable of tracing and comprehending the investigations of Euclid; and that in imagination they are dull, tasteless, and anomalous." Present day AND ancient achievements contradict such statments. In response, these web page have been created to exhibit accomplishments of the peoples of Africa and the African Diaspora within the Mathematical Sciences. Mathematics Historian W. Rouse Ball : The history of mathematics cannot with certainty be traced back to any school or period before that of the ... Greeks.

http://www.siam.org/siamnews/09-99/ems.htm

Extractions: SIAM News Quick Search: Rolf Jeltsch, an applied mathematician at ETH Zürich, sees in his election as EMS president an indication that EMS intends to become more active in applied mathematics. With that prospect in mind, he says, he looks forward to many joint EMS-SIAM activities. I am very happy to have this opportunity to introduce the European Mathematical Society to SIAM members. At ICIAM 99 in Edinburgh, Gil Strang and Jim Crowley of SIAM met with Heinz Engl (chair of the Applications of Mathematics Committee of EMS) and me (EMS president in 1999-2002) to discuss cooperation between our societies. One of the possibilities we considered is a joint conference in Europe. For EMS, this would be the first major conference in applied mathematics. We also discussed the introduction of an EMS/SIAM lecture series in applied mathematics, similar to a series EMS is already running on a biannual basis. This article, and a similar column being prepared for the EMS Newsletter by SIAM president Gil Strang to introduce SIAM to EMS members, mark the real beginning of our cooperation. Founded in 1990, EMS is a rather young organisation, far younger than SIAM. Being young means that most things do not yet run along well-established paths. This might be seen as a disadvantage, but it also has a positive aspect, namely lots of room for new initiatives.
