Mathematics Unbound: The Evolution of an International Mathematical Community, 1800-1945; Symposium May 27-29, 1999

*SBR 9817933PI：Parshire，Karen V，这笔赠款支持1999年5月27日至29日由弗吉尼亚大学主办的为期三天的研讨会，题为“数学的自由：1800-1945年国际数学社区的演变”，作为其“数学史上的重点年”的一部分。研讨会由弗吉尼亚大学历史和数学系的凯伦·亨格尔·帕肖尔和米德尔塞克斯大学的禤浩焯·C·赖斯(1998年至1999年弗吉尼亚大学数学客座助理教授)联合举办，旨在阐明国际数学家社会发展的历史过程和相互作用。研讨会分为两部分：知名研究人员关于数学国际化问题的9次45分钟的全体讲座；以及研究生以及该领域初级和高级成员的12次20分钟的演讲。-国家机构和数学教育标准的国际影响力；-共同研究精神的发展和传播；-国家研究渠道的国际化，如研究期刊和像美国数学学会这样的学会；-国际会议和国际数学联盟等国际倡议的兴起；以及-难民数学家在数学标准和研究活动国际化中的作用。这次会议将使数学史学家在理解数学国际化中起作用的历史因素方面向前迈进一大步。通过将数学史领域的知名和有抱负的学者组成的国际小组聚集在一起，它还应该为学生提供一个独特的教育场所和机会，让他们认识和了解各自领域的一些领导者。此外，由此产生的书籍长度的卷将提出对这些见解的编纂，并将(国际和平研究所希望)通过提出富有成效的历史探索领域来推动关于特别是数学和一般科学的国际化的进一步研究。

***SBR 9817933PI: Parshall, Karen V,This grant supports a three-day symposium 27-29 May, 1999, entitled "Mathematics Unbound: The Evolution of an International Mathematical Community, 1800-1945," sponsored by the University of Virginia as part of its "Emphasis Year in the History of Mathematics." Co-organized by Karen Hunger Parshall (Departments of History and Mathematics, University of Virginia) and Adrian C. Rice (Middlesex University [UK]; Visiting Assistant Professor of Mathematics at the University of Virginia, 1998-1999), the symposium aims to shed light on the historical processes and interactions involved in the development of what has become an international community of mathematicians.The symposium is divided into two parts: nine forty-five-minute plenary lectures by established researchers on questions involving the internationalization of mathematics; and twelve twenty-minute talks by graduate students as well as junior and senior members of the field. Each day will culminate with a moderated discussion period.Among the topics analyzed are:--- the international influence of national institutions and standards of mathematics education;--- the growth and dissemination of a shared research ethos;--- the internationalization of national research outlets such as research journals and societies like the American Mathematical Society; --- the rise of international initiatives such as the International Congresses and the International Mathematical Union; and--- the role of refugee mathematicians in the internationalization of mathematical standards and research initiatives.This meeting should allow historians of mathematics to take a major step forward in understanding the historical factors at work in the internationalization of mathematics. By bringing together an international group of established and aspiring scholars in the field of the history of mathematics, it should also provide a unique educational venue and an opportunity for students to meet and get to know some of the leaders in their field. Moreover, the resulting book-length volume will present a codification of those insights and will (the PIs hope) spur further research on the internationalization of mathematic in particular and of science in general by suggesting fruitful areas of historical exploration.***
