***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.***

* SBR 9817933 PI：Parshall，Karen V，该补助金支持1999年5月27日至29日为期三天的研讨会，题为“数学解放：国际数学界的演变，1800-1945”，由弗吉尼亚大学赞助，作为其“数学史重点年”的一部分。“由凯伦·亨格·帕肖尔（弗吉尼亚大学历史和数学系）和阿德里安·C.水稻（1998-1999年，米德尔塞克斯大学;弗吉尼亚大学数学客座助理教授），研讨会旨在阐明数学家国际化发展的历史过程和相互作用。研讨会分为两个部分：九个45分钟的全体讲座，由知名研究人员就涉及数学国际化的问题进行讨论;以及12个由研究生以及该领域的初级和高级成员进行的20分钟的演讲。每一天都将以一个有主持人的讨论时间结束。分析的主题包括：-国家机构和数学教育标准的国际影响;-共同研究精神的成长和传播;-国家研究机构的国际化，如研究期刊和美国数学学会等协会; - 如国际大会和国际数学联盟的国际倡议的兴起;和-难民数学家在数学标准和研究倡议的国际化中的作用。这次会议应该让数学史学家在理解数学国际化中的历史因素方面迈出重要一步。通过汇集数学史领域的国际知名和有抱负的学者，它还应该提供一个独特的教育场所，让学生有机会结识和了解他们领域的一些领导者。此外，由此产生的书籍长度的卷将呈现这些见解的编纂，并将（PI希望）通过提出富有成效的历史探索领域，促进对数学特别是科学的国际化的进一步研究。
