Established at the Fourth International Congress of Mathematicians held in Rome in 1908 with the initial mandate of analysing the similarities and differences in the secondary school teaching of mathematics among various countries, ICMI has expanded its objectives and activities considerably over the years. The Commission aims at offering researchers, practitioners, curriculum designers, decision makers and others interested in mathematical education, a forum for promoting reflection, collaboration, exchange and dissemination of ideas and information on all aspects of the theory and practice of contemporary mathematical education as seen from an international perspective. ICMI thus takes initiatives in inaugurating appropriate programmes designed to further the sound development of mathematical education at all levels, and to secure public appreciation of its importance. The Commission is also charged with the conduct of the activities of IMU bearing on mathematical or scientific education. In the pursuit of its objectives, the Commission cooperates with various groups, regional or thematic, which may be formed within or outside its own structure. As a scientific union, IMU is a member organisation of the International Council for Science (ICSU). This implies that ICMI, through IMU, is to abide to the ICSU statutes, one of which establishes the principle of non-discrimination. This principle affirms the right and freedom of scientists to associate in international scientific activities regardless of citizenship, religion, political stance, ethnic origin, sex, and suchlike. Apart from observing general IMU and ICSU rules and principles, ICMI works with a large degree of autonomy. Structure Members of ICMI are not individuals but countries, namely those countries which are members of IMU and other countries specifically co-opted to the Commission. Each member of ICMI appoints a Representative and may create a Sub-Commission for ICMI to maintain liaison with the Commission in all matters pertinent to its affairs. ICMI currently has 82 members. The Commission is administered by the Executive Committee of ICMI, elected by the General Assembly of IMU and responsible for conducting the business of the Commission in accordance with its Terms of Reference and subject to the direction and review of the members. The General Assembly of ICMI consists of the members of the Executive Committee and the Representatives to ICMI. The General Assembly convenes every four years in conjunction with the International Congress on Mathematical Education. ICMI Activities A major event in the life of the international mathematics education community, the quadrennial International Congress on Mathematical Education, ICME, is held under the auspices of ICMI and typically gathers more than three thousand participants from all over the world. The ICMI Executive Committee is responsible for the selection of a site for an ICME as well as for the appointment of International Programme Committee, in charge of the scientific content of the ICMI Bulletin No. 54 1 June 2004 congress. The practical and financial organisation of an ICME is the independent responsibility of a Local (or National) Organising Committee, under the observation of general ICMI principles. Apart from the ICME congresses, the Commission organises or supports various activities, such as the ICMI Study Programme, in which each Study, built around an international seminar, aims at investigating issues or topics of particular significance in contemporary mathematics education and is directed towards the preparation of a published volume intended to promote and assist discussion and action at the international, national, regional or institutional level; the ICMI Regional Conferences, supported by ICMI morally and sometimes financially in order to facilitate the organisation of regional meetings on mathematics education, especially in less affluent parts of the world; or the ICMI Solidarity Project, aiming at increasing the commitment and involvement of mathematics educators around the world in order to help the furtherance of mathematics education in those parts of the world where there is a need for it that justifies international assistance and where the economic and socio- political contexts do not permit adequate and autonomous development. The above-mentioned activities are of a more or less regular nature. In addition to those, ICMI involves itself in other activities on an ad hoc basis. For instance, ICMI has recently reinitiated contacts with UNESCO and established collaboration with ICSU Committee on Capacity Building in Science. Also ICMI is involved in planning the education components on the programme of the International Congresses of Mathematicians, the ICMs. ICMI Affiliated Study Groups The Commission may approve the affiliation to ICMI of Study Groups, focussing on a specific field of interest and study in mathematics education consistent with the aims of the Commission. The current Study Groups affiliated to ICMI are the International Study Group on the Relations between the History and Pedagogy of Mathematics (HPM), the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (PME), the International Organization of Women and Mathematics Education (IOWME), the World Federation of National Mathematics Competitions (WFNMC) and the International Study Group for Mathematical Modelling and Applications (ICTMA). Information and Communication The official organ of ICMI since its inception is the international journal L’Enseignement Mathématique, founded in 1899. The homepage of the journal can be found at the address http://www.unige.ch/math/EnsMath/. Under the editorship of the Secretary-General, ICMI publishes the ICMI Bulletin, appearing twice a year. The Bulletin is accessible on the internet at the address http://www.mathunion.org/ICMI/, where more information about ICMI can also be found. Support to ICMI The principal source of ICMI’s finances is the support it receives from the IMU. Every year ICMI thus has to file a financial report for the endorsement of IMU, as well as a scientific report on its activities. Quadrennial reports are presented to the General Assemblies of both IMU and ICMI. But one of the greatest strengths of ICMI is the time contributed freely by the hundreds of mathematicians and mathematics educators committed to the objectives of the Commission.

    JEFF WEBER RARE BOOKBOOKSSSS ··· 178178178 Los Angeles / Encinitas, California Wings of Imagination Catalogue 178 Muhammad Ali said, “The man who has no imagination has no wings.” The noted writer Zora Neale Hurston is described as one who rode on the “wings of imagination.” This is everything in both science and life. Here is a selection of books that celebrates man’s thought relating to the sciences. One of the most inspired was Newton. My copy of Newton’s Opticks, 1704, is traced to its original owner Dr. Charles Bernard, himself a member of the Royal Society, the book was sold at auction in 1711, reappeared in Edinburgh and bound for the university. The book was given as a student prize by Dr. Philip Kelland, also a Fellow of the Royal Society. Eventually the copy found its way to Washington [D.C.?] by 1915. Again it disappears until 1966 when it was owned by the bookseller Jake Zeitlin. There is nothing so inspiring to a collector than an important book, especially one with a history. Books bring one closer to inspiration, and that allows the mind to soar. 2014 [www.WEBERRAREBOOKS.COM] With more than 10,000 antiquarian books in the fields of science, medicine, Americana, classics, books on books, world travel and fore-edge paintings.
