    Extractions: The Federation of European Chemical Societies initiated, as a Millennium Project, the celebration of Distinguished European Chemists spanning a period of over two hundred years. Member societies and individuals were invited to submit their nominations of distinguished European chemists from the end of the 18th century until the present day. In addition to Nobel Prize winners, there were nominations of many others from Europe who have, over more than two centuries, transformed the science and influenced science, industry or society worldwide.

Johnson Department of Mathematics University of Maryland College Park, MD 20742 rlj@math.umd.edu On June 21-23, 1995, a Conference for African American Researchers in the Mathematical Sciences was held at MSRI in Berkeley, California. The conference presented current research in a broad range of mathematical areas to stimulate cross disciplinary discussion and highlight future trends. Workshops were held to discuss: the ways that all mathematics researchers can encourage the greater participation of under-represented minorities in their fields, a summer program for minority graduate students, and career development for researchers and professionals in the mathematical sciences.

    Extractions: South Africa took top honours in the Tenth Pan-African Mathematics Olympiad (PAMO) held over the week 17-24 January 2000, winning Gold Medals in both the individuals and team categories. The Olympiad was hosted by the University of Cape Town and the University of the Western Cape. The South African team: Lisa Alberti, grade 12, Fairbairn College, Cape Town, Theo Mokgatlhe, grade 10, St Dominic's College, Welkom, Shen Tian, St David's Marist College, Johannesburg, Koos van Zyl, Hoerskool Overkruin, Pretoria. was ranked first among the seven competing teams, with Koos van Zyl winning overall first place and a Gold Medal. Shen Tian was ranked 4th and won a Silver Medal, while Lisa Alberti took 11th place and was awarded a Bronze Medal. The South African Team Leader was Professor Dirk Laurie, of the University of Potchefstroom. The seven competing countries were: Algeria, Benin, Burkina Faso, Mali, Mozambique, South Africa and Uganda. The ``obvious question" we should all ask, answer, and try do something about for the future, is: Why didn't Zimbabwe take part?

    Extractions: AFRICAN-AMERICAN MATHEMATICIANS CONFERENCE BUILDS COMMUNITY "The goal of the conference was to provide a sense of community for African American math students and support their success academically and otherwise," Boisen said. "I believe that the conference was a success," said student Shawn Bruce, who organized the details of the conference. "I was pleased with the overall turnout for a first time event. I believe that we accomplished our goal and achieved our purpose. Hopefully, we will not only enhance and maintain our new community, but we will also be a blessing and help to others." The AAAM visits different places each year to meet with successful mathematicians in various fields, Boisen said. These mathematicians help students broaden their understanding of the career opportunities in mathematics and see that teaching is not the only thing a math major can do, he said. Graduate students work with members of the organization, building a bond of trust, Boisen said. Issues that could affect performance and retention are identified early instead of too late, he said.
