We emphasize some of the recent, specific and significant Romanian methods concerning the teaching and learning of Mathematics and Informatics, starting from pre-school and primary level to the university mathematics and informatics education, the role of national and international mathematical competitions, the education of mathematics and informatics teachers, the formation of researchers in mathematics and informatics, their contributions and perspectives, the mathematics and informatics education in society and culture, the technologies in mathematics and the future of computers in education, links between research and practice, and developments in both these fields. Our considerations show, in a concise manner, the significant details regarding the current Romanian Mathematics and Informatics Education and the corresponding scientific studies.

  • Professor Herbert Walther (1935-2006)
    Romanian Reports in Physics, Vol. 59, No. 1, P. 3–4, 2007 IN MEMORIAM Professor Herbert Walther (1935-2006) Professor Herbert Walther, director and founder of Max-Planck Institut for Quantum Optics (MPQ), Garching, passed from this world on 22 July 2006, in Munich. He was an outstanding researcher of the physics of LIGHT, an exceptional Man and Friend, an Honorary Member of the Romanian Academy, a member of the Editorial board of the “Romanian Reports in Physics” and one of the strongest supporters of the “ROMOPTO” conferences. Professor Herbert Walther was born on 19 January 1935, in Ludwigshafen/ Rhine. He studied Physics at the University of Heidelberg, where he received the diploma in 1960 and obtained a doctorate two years later. Research work led him to the University of Hanover, to the Laboratoire Aimé Cotton (CNRS) in Orsay and to the Joint Laboratory of Astrophysics in Boulder, Colorado. He received positions of Professor at the University of Bonn in 1971, then at the University of Cologne. Since 1975, to his retirement in 2003, he held up the chair for Experimental Physics at the Ludwig Maximilian University, in Munich, 2003. In 1976, Prof. Walther, together with Prof. Karl-Ludwig Kompa and Dr. S. Witkowski, formed the project group “Laser Research” in the Max-Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) in Garching. Five years later, the project group became an institute and in 1986 it took the name of MPQ, with the new location in Kopfermann Strasse. Professor Walther was a director at the MPQ and director/head of the Department of Laser Physics until his “Emeritierung”, in February 2003.

MSC: 01-01; 01-02 Corduneanu’s life Constantin Corduneanu was born on July 26, 1928, in the city of Iaşi, Province of Moldova, Romania, from the parents Costache and Aglaia Corduneanu. He completed his elementary education in the village of Potangeni, Movileni commune in the District of Iaşi, located at a distance of about 25 Km. from the City of Iaşi, where his parents and some uncles were his teachers. This village was also the place where his paternal grandparents were living. At the age of 12, he had to go to the City of Iaşi to get his secondary education. He did not want to take the advice of his parents or his grandfather. Instead, he chose the idea of one of his uncles, who, during the First World War, was a sergeant in the Romanian Cavalry. He participated in the competition for a place at the Military Lyceum of Iaşi, placing 10th out of 400 competitors. He completed his secondary education in 1947. Corduneanu had great mathematics teachers during his secondary education. For example, Nicolae Donciu, who was serving as an assistant to Dimitrie Pompeiu, well known in complex analysis at the time.

Institute of Mathematics ‘Simion Stoilow’, Romanian Academy, Bucharest, Romania. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract By using holomorphic Morse inequalities we prove that sufficiently small deformations of a pseudoconcave domain in a projective manifold is Moishezon. 1. Introduction Let X be a compact complex manifold with strongly pseudoconcave boundary. The question of projectively embedding X has been studied in [1], [4], [5], [11], [13]. In particular the generalization of Kodaira’s embedding theorem would give an intrinsic characterisation of projective pseudoconcave manifolds in terms of positive line bundles. Our model is the case when X admits a positively embedded (i.e. with positive normal bundle) smooth compact divisor Z. By a rigidity theorem of Griffiths [13] we infer that global sections in high tensor powers of the the associated bundle [Z] embed a small neighbourhood of Z in the projective space. In particular X has a maximal number of independent meromorphic functions. Received May 15, 2016. AMS Subject Classification: 32L10, 32F10, 32G05. Key words and phrases: Deformation of complex structure, q-concave manifold, Moishezon man- ifold, holomorphic Morse inequalities. 579 580 GEORGE MARINESCU [September We will be concerned in the sequel with general positive line bundles.

  • Open Data in Science in Europe
    Open Data in Science in Europe Statement by the European Members of the International Council for Science1 The following recommendations are based on the workshop “Open Data in Science: Challenges and Opportunities for Europe” that took place under the patronage of the European Members of the International Council for Science (ICSU) and in partnership with the All European Academies (ALLEA) in Brussels on 31 January 2018. The event benefited from presentations by representatives of science organisations, public research funders, the publishing and the policy sector, and input from the 80 meeting participants from across Europe and representing science academies, research performers, funding bodies, international science organisations and government agencies. General Publicly funded scientists make their research data available in reusable format in order to enhance the quality and effectiveness of science and as a contribution to help address societal and environmental challenges. The following elements are necessary for a conducive environment. FAIR Principles The FAIR Principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) serve as aspirational objectives for scientists to make data available in such a way that they can be used for other research, and to allow the verification of research results to enhance their quality, robustness and reliability. Science academies help operationalise and implement the FAIR Principles. Data repositories Trustworthy data repositories ensure long-term preservation of Open Data. They are reliable, minimally support FAIR metadata, and their data stewardship adequately caters for privacy, security and intellectual property issues, especially in relation to personal data. For that purpose, and to help increase the number of certified trustworthy data repositories, science academies recommend their use and support the work of the World Data System (WDS) of the International Council for Science.
