Resumo: | This book arose from the presentations given at the international workshop held in Óbidos, 26–29 September 2010, as a result of a joint initiative of the Centro Internacional de Matemática and the Raising Public Awareness (RPA) committee of the European Mathematical Society (EMS). The objective was to provide a forum for general reflection with an international mix of experts on building the image of mathematics, ten years after the World Mathematical Year 2000 (WMY 2000). Óbidos, a charming town situated one hour by car to the north of Lisbon, Portugal, was also the site of the re-creation in the year 2000 of the international mathematics exhibition “Beyond the Third Dimension” (http://alem3d.obidos.org/en/) and a meeting of the EMS WMY2000 Committee. The opening of the workshop was also a public “mathematical afternoon” organised by the Portuguese Mathematical Society (SPM) in cooperation with the town of Óbidos. At this event mathematical films and lectures to the general public were presented. The first lecture was given by H. Leitão, from the University of Lisbon, on mathematics in the “Age of Discoveries”, and the second one by G.-M. Greuel, the current president of ERCOM (the EMS committee of the European Research Centres on Mathematics), on the topic “Mathematics between Research, Application and Communication”, which text is included in this book. |
