To emphasize the continuity of the project behind the conference on research in the History of Mathematics Education held in Uppsala, the volume containing the proceedings keeps the original title of the first conference, i.e. “Dig where you stand” (followed by 3, which is the number of the conference). This sentence is the English title of the book Gräv där du står (1978) by the Swedish author Sven Lindqvist. Hansen (2009) uses it to explain what he did when took up the position as teacher in mathematics. His “Dig where you stand” approach is based on the idea that “there was important and interesting history in every workplace, and that the professional historians had neglected this local part of history writing, so you had to do it by yourself.” (p. 66) We deem that “Dig where you stand” may be a suitable motto for those (historians, educators, teachers, educationalists) who wish to sensitively and deeply understanding the teaching and learning of mathematics.

One of the well-known representatives of this movement is Felix Klein. Inter alia, he held lectures on Elementary Mathematics from a Higher Standpoint. In the work at hand, the lecture notes are analyzed concerning the underlying intention and inner structure. The results show that Klein adheres closely to several principles, such as the principle of mathematical interconnectedness, the principle of intuition, the principle of application-orientation and the genetic method of teaching. Those principles contribute greatly to the development of Klein's higher standpoint. In addition, Klein conveys a multitude of perspectives that widen this higher standpoint. As a result, in the lectures two different orientations can be declared: Klein regards elementary mathematics from a higher standpoint and higher mathematics from an elementary standpoint. Introduction Felix Klein pinpointed the main problem of teachers' education: The young university student [is] confronted with problems that did not suggest [...] the things with which he had been concerned at school. When, after finishing his course of study, he became a teacher [...] he was scarcely able to discern

Atiyah of the University of Edinburgh and Isadore M. Singer of MIT. This is the second Abel Prize awarded following the Norwegian Government’s decision in 2001 to allocate NOK 200 million to the creation of the Abel Foundation, with the intention of award- ing an international prize for outstanding research in mathematics. The prize, amounting to NOK 6 million, was insti- tuted to make up for the fact that there is no Nobel Prize for mathematics. In addi- tion to awarding the international prize, the Foundation shall contribute part of its earnings to measures for increasing inter- est in, and stimulating recruitment to, Nils Voje Johansen Yngvar Reichelt mathematical and scientific fields.

  • All About Abel Dayanara Serges Niels Henrik Abel (August 5, 1802-April 6,1829) Was a Norwegian Mathematician Known for Numerous Contributions to Mathematics
    All About Abel Dayanara Serges Niels Henrik Abel (August 5, 1802-April 6,1829) was a Norwegian mathematician known for numerous contributions to mathematics. Abel was born in Finnoy, Norway, as the second child of a dirt poor family of eight. Abels father was a poor Lutheran minister who moved his family to the parish of Gjerstad, near the town of Risr in southeast Norway, soon after Niels Henrik was born. In 1815 Niels entered the cathedral school in Oslo, where his mathematical talent was recognized in 1817 by his math teacher, Bernt Michael Holmboe, who introduced him to the classics in mathematical literature and proposed original problems for him to solve. Abel studied the mathematical works of the 17th-century Englishman Sir Isaac Newton, the 18th-century German Leonhard Euler, and his contemporaries the Frenchman Joseph-Louis Lagrange and the German Carl Friedrich Gauss in preparation for his own research. At the age of 16, Abel gave a proof of the Binomial Theorem valid for all numbers not only Rationals, extending Euler's result. Abels father died in 1820, leaving the family in straitened circumstances, but Holmboe and other professors contributed and raised funds that enabled Abel to enter the University of Christiania (Oslo) in 1821. Abels first papers, published in 1823, were on functional equations and integrals; he was the first person to formulate and solve an integral equation. He had also created a proof of the impossibility of solving algebraically the general equation of the fifth degree at the age of 19, which he hoped would bring him recognition.

  • Asian-Pacific Rim Logistics
    Book Reviews also bow, at the outset, to the spirits of political and diplomatic theories (constructivism, neorealism, even Kahneman’s prospect theory, etc.) before moving on to the more interesting task of calling regional developments as they see them. These are quibbles for what is an informed and insightful reflection on some of the key dynamics shaping Asia and its place in the world. The University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada Joseph Caron ASIAN-PACIFIC RIM LOGISTICS: Global Context and Local Policies. By Peter J. Rimmer. Northampton, MA; Cheltenham, UK: Edward Elgar, 2014. xxiv, 522 pp. (Illustrations, maps.) US$180.00, cloth. ISBN 978-1-84720-628-2. While there have been many books written about the rise of the Asian economy, none before this one have focused on the key transportation and logistics challenges facing the Asian-Pacific Rim in the twenty-first century. Transportation geographer Peter Rimmer provides a grand synthesis of the region’s supply chain needs and discusses how national transport policies are responding to the growth of a region that stretches from eastern Russia in the north to the Indonesian archipelago in the south and which encompasses China, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. What is at stake is that due to the elongated geography of the Asian-Pacific region, together with its decentralized production and service hubs and the difficulties of shipping, air transport, and so on, the costs of logistics are inherently more expensive here than in Europe and North America. “A seamless Asian-Pacific Rim is still a long way from reality” (15).

    Éclat A Mathematics Journal Volume I 2010 Department of Mathematics Lady Shri Ram College For Women Éclat A Mathematics Journal Volume I 2010 To Our Beloved Teacher Mrs. Santosh Gupta for her 42 years of dedication Preface The revival of Terminus a quo into E´clat has been a memorable experience. Eclat´ , with its roots in french, means brilliance. The journey from the origin of Terminus a quo to the brilliance of E´clat is the journey we wish to undertake. In our attempt to present diverse concepts, we have divided the journal into four sections - History of Mathematics, Rigour in Mathematics, Extension of Course Contents and Interdisciplinary Aspects of Mathematics. The work contained here is not original but consists of the review articles contributed by both faculty and students. This journal aims at providing a platform for students who wish to publish their ideas and also other concepts they might have come across. Our entire department has been instrumental in the publishing of this journal. Its compilation has evolved after continuous research and discussion. Both the faculty and the students have been equally enthusiastic about this project and hope such participation continues. We hope that this journal would become a regular annual feature of the department and would encourage students to hone their skills in doing individual research and in writing academic papers. It is an opportunity to go beyond the prescribed limits of the text and to expand our knowledge of the subject.

  • Informe De Resultados De La Consulta a Asociaciones Vecinales Relativa Al Estado De La Limpieza En La Ciudad De Madrid
    INFORME DE RESULTADOS DE LA CONSULTA A ASOCIACIONES VECINALES RELATIVA AL ESTADO DE LA LIMPIEZA EN LA CIUDAD DE MADRID Madrid, 29 de septiembre de 2016 Informe de resultados de la consulta a las asociaciones vecinales relativa al estado de la limpieza en la ciudad de Madrid. (septiembre 2016) 1. INTRODUCCIÓN La preocupación por la limpieza y el mantenimiento del viario urbano y de espacios públicos como plazas, parques y jardines ha formado parte de las prioridades de las asociaciones vecinales desde su origen, hace casi 50 años. A lo largo de su historia, las entidades ciudadanas no han cesado de defender, a través de acciones de todo tipo, unos barrios y pueblos limpios y saludables. Lo han hecho como hacen con otros asuntos, conjugando la denuncia pública y la protesta en la calle con la negociación y la colaboración con la Administración y los representantes públicos, sean del color que sean. La Federación Regional de Asociaciones Vecinales de Madrid (FRAVM), que aglutina actualmente a 270 entidades de la comunidad autónoma, lleva años alertando del deterioro de los servicios públicos de la capital, incluidos los relativos a limpieza viaria, recogida de basuras y mantenimiento de parques y jardines. Lo hicimos durante el mandato de Alberto Ruiz Gallardón- Ana Botella y lo hacemos ahora con Manuela Carmena, recogiendo siempre el mandato de nuestras asociaciones federadas, que a su vez recogen el sentir de sus vecindarios. Hoy, más allá del uso partidista e interesado que puedan hacer algunas formaciones políticas, la realidad es que esos vecindarios están profundamente preocupados por el déficit de limpieza que padecen los barrios y la ciudad, un problema que el actual equipo de gobierno no ha sido capaz de mejorar en sus 15 meses de andadura.

    Bollettino U. M. I. (8)1-B (1998), 451-474 — GIUSEPPE TALLINI (1930-1995) La vita. Personalità scientifica dinamica e prorompente, "iuseppe Tallini verrà certamente ricordato nella storia della matematica di questo secolo per aver dato un impulso decisi- vo allo sviluppo della combinatoria in Italia, continuando insieme ad Adriano Barlotti a promuovere quella scuola di geometria combinatoria, fondata da Beniamino Segre, che , oggi una delle più affermate in campo internazionale. Fondamentali sono i suoi risultati riguardanti gli archi e le calotte in spazi di Galois, la caratterizzazione grafica di varietà algebriche notevoli, le strutture combinatorie d’in- cidenza (matroidi, spazi lineari e semilineari, spazi polari), la teoria dei disegni combina- tori e dei sistemi di *teiner e quella dei codici correttori. Grande ammiratore della cultura classica greco-romana, della cui visione della vita si sentiva profondamente partecipe, ha saputo coniugare una intensissima attività scienti- fica, che lo assorbiva &#asi freneticamente, a omenti di sapiente otium, nei quali si de- dicava preferibilmente a quelle letture di storia antica che egli prediligeva sopra ogni al- tre. Di temperamento naturalmente cordiale ed aperto, era dotato di )randissimo calore umano ed amava la vita in tutte le sue manifestazioni. Nel 1993 era stato colpito da una sclerosi laterale amiotrofica, che lo aveva paralizza- to e poi, negli ultimi mesi del 1994, reso afono. La malattia, che lo condurrà alla morte il 4 aprile 1995 e della cui gravità era consapevole, non ne ha mai fiaccato lo spirito, la luci- dità della mente, la capacità di comunicare idee matematiche. Con grande serenità aveva accettato la crescente enomazione fisica, continuando il lavoro di sempre, in ciò anche sostenuto dal premuroso affetto dei figli e della moglie, che gli è stata amorevolmente %i- cina con dedizione grandissima.
