Mathematics


On May, 6th, 1992, in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), the International Mathematical Union declared that the Year 2000 will be the World Mathematical Year. The Declaration of Rio sets three aims :

  • The great challenges of 21st Century

  • Mathematics, a key for Development

  • The image of mathematics

The European Mathematical Society has set up a committee to enhance contributions to the World Mathematical Year in Europe. As one project, the EMS has launched a Poster Competition.

Improving the public image and awareness of mathematics is an essential point in having a World Mathematical Year. In the article Experiences with popularizing mathematics, I have described some of my own experiences with the popularization of mathematics.
