[an error occurred while processing this directive] Base numbers wow European mathematicians Sun, 9 Jun 1202 17:59:32 GMT Will Knight 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.

In short, it seeks to establish a sense of identity amongst european mathematicians. http://www.btinternet.com/~d.a.r.wallace/EMSHISTORY99.html

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.

The European Mathematical Society (EMS) 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. Created by and for the European mathematical community, the EMS is an effective intermediary between mathematicians and those in charge of politics and funds in Brussels Members : Today, the members of EMS consists of about 50

Press release The European Mathematical Society Awards Five Prizes to CNRS Researchers Paris, July 19, 2000 At its congress held from July 10 to 14, 2000 in Barcelona (Spain), the European Mathematical Society awarded prizes to 10 young European mathematicians under age 32. These prizes reward research work that is particularly promising. Five of the prize winners work in joint CNRS/ third party research laboratories. This international recognition corroborates the CNRS policy of recruiting and training young researchers in the field of mathematics. The prize winners from the CNRS: - Raphaël CERF (probabilities), chargé de recherche at CNRS, "Laboratoire de mathématiques d’Orsay" [Orsay Mathematics Laboratory] (CNRS – Université de Paris 11, Orsay) - Emmanuel GRENIER (partial derivative equations and fluid mechanics), university professor, "Unité de mathématiques pures et appliquées de l’ENS de Lyon" [Pure and Applied Mathematics Unit of the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon] (CNRS – Ecole normale supérieure de Lyon, Lyon) - Vincent LAFFORGUE (operator algebra), chargé de recherche at CNRS, "Institut de mathématiques" [Institute of Mathematics] (CNRS – Université de Paris 6 – Université de Paris 7, Paris)

10. EULER: Benefits And Results It will strengthen the European character of the database MATH, it will develop thepossibilities of document delivery for all european mathematicians and new http://www-irma.u-strasbg.fr/EMIS/projects/EULER/benefits.html

Eu ropean L ibraries and E lectronic R esources in Mathematical Sciences Project Description Benefits and Results Benefits and Results Information and communication is an essential part of the scientific life and has a long and strong tradition. EULER will combine international scientific library related resources on a high level. EULER will strengthen the European position in scientific information and communication, especially with respect to US American developments. The project will contribute to the Information Society in Europe, by enabling scientists to effectively make use of existing and emerging network-based services. The project will contribute to the development of modern libraries infrastructures, by enhancing the availability and accessibility of library services, and by integrating library services within related information infrastructures. End-users will have more direct access both to the library collections themselves and to information available to libraries through the networks. EULER will open up international library related material for European mathematicians. EULER will develop the prototype of a advanced academic information system. EULER integrates for-pay (document delivery at libraries, commercial information providers, scientific databases like MATH, commercial electronic journals) and non-for-pay services (library OPACs, preprint and other Internet servers, and some free electronic academic journals) for mathematicians. The integration of all these services will generate an added value for the user with a minimum of additional costs. The new integrated information service will be more attractive for the community of library users from mathematics, as well as for the libraries themselves, than the single services alone. An increase of the use of the integrated services can be expected. But the most important result will be the improvement of access to library related information sources for the scientific community.

11. EULER: Objectives The European Mathematical Society will encourage european mathematicians fromresearch, education and industry to use and evaluate the new services. http://www-irma.u-strasbg.fr/EMIS/projects/EULER/objectives.html

Eu ropean L ibraries and E lectronic R esources in Mathematical Sciences Project Description Objectives of the Project Objectives of the Project The aim of the project is to provide strictly user-oriented, integrated network based access to mathematical publications. The EULER service intends to offer a "one-stop shopping site" for users interested in Mathematics. Therefore, an integration of all types of resources mentioned above is necessary. Since EULER will combine descriptions of resources (the bibliographical databases) with the fulltext of documents, free resources with commercial ones and databases with very different structures, retrieval systems and user interfaces, this integration must built upon common resource descriptions. This glue or intermediate level is accomplished by using descriptions of all resources following the Dublin Core (DC) metadata standard, recently developed and published as an Internet draft. Technically, the integration of the different resources will be accomplished by producing DC metadata for all resources (by means of conversion, automatic generation or metadata creator software), and collecting it into frontend databases for every individual EULER service. A retrieval and search software, the EULER Engine, will use these metadata databases as sources for a distributed search service. The integration approach will be based on the Z39.50 standard or on HTML-form based data interchange. At distributed servers, multilingual EULER service interfaces will be provided as entry points to the EULER Engine, offering browsing, searching, some document delivery and user support (help texts, tutorial etc.).

13. EMS SUMMER SCHOOLS 2000 - CALL FOR PROPOSALS With this activity the EMS wants to encourage young european mathematicians to meetand study together current developments in Mathematics and its applications http://www.ras.ru/EMIS/etc/ems-summer-schools.html

THE EUROPEAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY EMS SUMMER SCHOOLS 2000 and 2001 The European Mathematical Society organises two Summer Schools each year, one in Pure Mathematics and one devoted to applications of Mathematics. With this activity the EMS wants to encourage young European mathematicians to meet and study together current developments in Mathematics and its applications. The Summer School Committee of the EMS examines proposals for summer schools fully organised by other institutions. To meet the EMS requirements, each school should be at a pre-doctoral level, last from 2 to 3 weeks, and have about 100 participants, mainly graduate students or young mathematicians coming from several European countries. Costs of participation should be kept low and, if possible, grants should be available to people from countries which cannot afford any financial support, especially participants from East European countries. Under certain circumstances the EMS will help fund the participation of these students. The EMS also guarantees moral support to the schools selected, advertising within the European mathematical community (posters, Newsletter announcements etc.), and will apply for funds to the summer school Programmes of the European Commission. Topics - which may be single or composite - sites, and organisers of the schools vary each year. The Summer Schools 2000 will take place in Edinburgh, Scotland from 24th July - 3rd August 2000

Abu Abd Allah Muhammad ibn Muadh Al-Jayyani Born: 989 in Cordoba, Spain Died: Show birthplace location Previous (Chronologically) Next Biographies Index Previous (Alphabetically) Next Main index Little is known of al-Jayyani 's life. Even the identification of al-Jayyani the mathematician with al-Jayyani the Spanish scholar who was born in Cordoba in 989 is not absolutely certain. Everything points to this identification being correct except one (possible) problem. Al-Jayyani's work On ratio is almost certainly his most interesting mathematical work. An English translation of this remarkable treatise is given in [2]. In this work al-Jayyani sets out to defend Euclid 's Elements Book V. In [7] Vahabzadeh writes:- Euclid 's definition, in Book V of his "Elements", of the proportionality of four magnitudes gave rise to numerous commentaries. Of these we have selected two one being al-Jayyani's whose goal was not to criticise Euclid 's point of view but rather to justify it by trying to make explicit the assumptions underlying Euclid 's argument.

15. Ahmed Euclid's Elements. It was a carefully constructed work which influencedearly european mathematicians such as Fibonacci. However it http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Ahmed.html

Ahmed ibn Yusuf al-Misri Born: 835 in Baghdad (now in Iraq) Died: 912 in Cairo, Egypt Previous (Chronologically) Next Biographies Index Previous (Alphabetically) Next Main index Ahmed ibn Yusuf 's father Yusuf ibn Ibrahim was also a mathematician. Yusuf ibn Ibrahim lived in Baghdad but moved to Damascus in about 839. After a little while he moved again, taking his son Ahmed with him, and went to live in Cairo. Although we are far from certain about the date of Ahmed's birth it is believed to have been before the family moved to Damascus. Again it is unclear exactly when the family moved again to Cairo but as Ahmed became known as "al-Misri " meaning "the Egyptian" it is likely that he lived in Cairo from a fairly young age. It is worth saying a word or two about Yusuf ibn Ibrahim, Ahmed's father, since scholars have had some difficulty in deciding which texts are due to the father, which to the son, or perhaps to joint work of the two. Yusuf ibn Ibrahim is known to have been a member of a group of scholars and this must have provided a strong intellectual environment for Ahmed. As well as a text on medicine, Yusuf is known to have written a work on astronomy and produced a collection of astronomical tables. Ahmed was to achieve an important role in Egypt and to understand this we must examine how Egypt achieved relative independence from the Abbasid Caliph. The Caliphs had strengthened their armies in the 9th century with Turkish slaves and began to put their Turkish commanders into positions as governors of certain territories in the Empire. In 868 the Turkish general Babak was put in charge of Egypt and he chose to send his stepson Ahmad ibn Tulun there to take control. Ahmad ibn Tulun soon built up an army under his own control and managed to take control of the finances of the country. Although he never declared complete independence from the Caliph he governed Egypt, and after 878 also Syria which his armies conquered, as an autonomous region.

How to join the European Mathematical Society ... ... through an EMS member society 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. Please address an informal application to your national society: List of EMS member societies ... 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;

Workshops of this nature have taken place in Great Britain for a number of years, going back to 1963 when Prof. Alan Tayler started the Oxford Study Group with Industry. The coordination of Study Groups is now in the hands of European Consortium for Mathematics in Industry (ECMI), and the name is currently European Study Group with Industry (ESGI). At a recent meeting of the ECMI Council it was decided that Study Groups should also be held outside Great Britain, and the first one in Scandinavia is to be held in Denmark. The format of a Study Group is a week long meeting (Monday - Friday) where a number of companies on the first day of the meeting each present a research problem they believe to be of a mathematical nature. Each such problem is taken up by a group of mathematicians who, together with the company representative, work towards the solution of the problem, through Thursday afternoon. Friday is used to present in a plenary session the results from each of the problem groups. At the latest three months after the meeting, a final report on the results of all the groups is sent out to all participants.

19. OUR ALLIES ORGANISATION PROFILES The EMS has set up scientific activities of its own, all geared towardthe emergence of a common identity among european mathematicians. http://www.it.lut.fi/mat/EcmiNL/ecmi25/node8.html

Next: NOTE BOARD Up: Ecmi News directory Previous: INITIATIVESPROPOSALS, RESEARCH ACTIONS OUR ALLIES ORGANISATION PROFILES The European Mathematical Society, EMS I am very happy that ECMI is giving me this space to introduce our organisation. The EMS was founded in 1990. Hence, it is a rather young organisation, younger than ECMI. Being young means that most things don't 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 initiative. With its 46 corporate members, international, national and regional societies, the EMS embraces Europe as a continent and all of mathematics, pure and applied. Nevertheless, you might not yet have heard a lot about the EMS because, while having a strong leg in pure mathematics, it has not been very prominent in applied mathematics. However, the EMS is aware that applied mathematics is becoming more and more important. This is why, after the first and second presidents, Friedrich Hirzebruch and Jean-Pierre Bourguignon respectively, I have been chosen as an applied mathematician. One of my main aims will be to strengthen the EMS's leg in applied mathematics. For this reason I am very happy that ECMI joined the EMS as a corporate member last year. Even before this, the ties between the EMS and ECMI were strengthened when one of ECMI's former presidents, Heinz Engl, became Chairman of the Committee for Applications of Mathematics. ECMI's current president, Vincenzo Capasso, also serves on this committee.
