Abstract: The purpose of this symposium is to invite an international group of scholars to discuss the State of development of the research on history of mathematics in different countries of Iberoamerica. In previous meetings (e.g., 2009 Budapest, Manchester, 2013), we have reviewed some aspects of the development of mathematics in Latin America, since the 19th century, particularly in areas such as the introduction of the theory of sets and mathematical logic in these countries. As in previous events, it is important to note that, although the majority of countries in the region share roots and similar growths, they also have their particular idiosyncrasies and independent developments. On this occasion, we want to study the state of development of the history of mathematics in different countries, and therefore the Symposium will not be limited to a specific time or a particular conceptual framework. Sessions will depend on the number of participants and the proposed topics, since some countries such as Spain, Brazil, Colombia and Costa Rica have important results about their history of mathematics, while the vast majority of Latin American countries are just interested in the subject, but can bring information of the history of certain areas, or about the influences recieved from different foreign mathematicians. Keywords: History of Mathematics – Iberoamerica.
