The final mathematical program was: Besides this mathematical part of the meeting a large amount of time was devoted to topics concerning women mathematicians in the society and especially in sciences. Discussions took place in plenary sessions and in small working teams. The main topics were official programs supporting women in sciences; (unofficial) actions at the faculty level; career and/versus family; sexual annoyance at work; the EWM: organization, goals and the legalization process; communication and networks; the situation of women mathematicians from what was formerly the German Democratic Republic.

    http://www.agnesscott.edu/lriddle/women/noether.htm
    
    Extractions: March 23, 1882 - April 14, 1935 Traditionally, people consider mathematicians to be men. This, however, is not entirely true. Throughout history, there have been many women mathematicians who have contributed just as much as their male-counterparts. Even though their names might have been forgotten, their contributions to mathematics have not. One of these women mathematicians was German-born Emmy Noether. Emmy Noether was born in Erlangen, Germany on March 23, 1882. She was named Amalie, but always called "Emmy". She was the eldest of four children, but one of only two that survived childhood. Her brother, Fritz also made a career of mathematics. Her father was Max Noether, a noted mathematician of his time. Her mother was Ida Amalie, for whom Emmy was named. As a child, Emmy Noether did not concentrate on mathematics. She spent her time in school studying languages, with a concentration on French and English. Her mother taught her the traditional skills of a young woman of that time. She learned to cook, clean, and play the clavier. At the time of her graduation from high school, she passed a test that allowed her to teach both French and English at schools for young women. At the age of 18, Emmy Noether decided to take classes in mathematics at the University of Erlangen. Her brother, Fritz, was a student there, and her father was a professor of mathematics. Because she was a woman, the university refused to let Emmy Noether take classes They granted her permission to audit classes. She sat in on classes for two years, and then took the exam that would permit her to be a doctoral student in mathematics. She passed the test, and finally was a student in good standing at the University. After five more years of study, she was granted the second degree to a woman in the field of mathematics. The first graduated a year earlier.

In its conferences, it provides for the exchange of experience, conceptions, strategies and possible solutions. It provides a forum for the international interchange of ideas. It provides a wide range of ideas for the participating learned societies and for a general public consisting of scholars/ scientists, librarians, documentalists and persons active in education administration. It supports coordination between the learned societies, libraries, and professional information providers. It supports Global-Info substantially and encourages the formation of new supporting programmes. It generates considerable synergy-effects.

    http://www.faculty.fairfield.edu/jmac/sj/sjscient.htm
    
    Extractions: Scientists and Astronomers The fact that eighty countries of the world have found that the Jesuit impact on these countries deserves commemorative stamps is an emphatic endorsement of world-wide interest in Jesuits. A few copies of the hundreds of stamps concerning Jesuit apostolates have been selected and displayed on these pages. They are arranged in eight different categories with as many stamps on a page as could reasonably fit. The narratives for the stamps derive from sources such as The Jesuit Annuarium (Yearbook) and Bangert's History of the Society of Jesus. Some Jesuits fall into several categories so are mentioned more than once as long as there were different stamps for the different categories. Unfortunately many Jesuits who deserve mention were never honored by stamps. So, while this collection is not an exhaustive history of the Jesuit Society, it does indicate the world-wide interest in Jesuits. Pozzo's celebrated fresco on the ceiling of St. Ignatius provides a fitting introduction. (Joseph F. MacDonnell, S.J.) 1. Christopher Clavius, S.J. (1538-1612)

    Extractions: T he inter-allied intelligence operation Enigma - wrote a prominent American historian of cryptography - was "the greatest secret of World War II after the atom bomb" . The breaking of the sophisticated German machine cipher was the most spectacular event, in terms of difficulty and far-reaching consequences, in the entire history of secret writing. Operation Enigma was one of powerful weapons of the anti-Nazi war coalition but in contrast of to the atomic energy, which itself had come to light in the terrific holocaust of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August, 1945, the secrets of the Enigma remained hidden and unknown to the public for the next almost three decades. Its details has been emerging only fragment by fragment from the darkness in which the governments concerned have felt it better to keep them.

ENIGMA TIMETABLE Date ENIGMA Poland World About December 1917 Dutchman Hugo Alexander Koch patented a machine: "that steel wires on pulleys, levers, rays of light, or air, water, or oil flowing through tubes could transmit the enciphering impulse as well as electricity did". (6) February 18, 1918 Arthur Scherbius files for a patent for Enigma Cipher Machine (Patentschrift Nr. 416291). Before Scherbius had bought the rights to the Koch's Patent, he was working on his own version of the cipher machines. After that he incorporated the new findings from the Koch's Patent into his own machine. April 18, 1918 Arthur Scherbius offers Enigma Machine to the German Navy. November 11, 1918 Poland was declared an independent republic. World War I ends. Polish Army had decided to form a section responsible for the intelligence, inteception, and cryptology. 27-year old engineer and polyglot pulkownik (7) Jan Kowalewski had became a head of this section.

    Extractions: Polish Intelligence had obtained examples of the commercial Enigma machine but quickly found that the German Enigma was different in detail from the commercial version. Polish Intelligence were initially unable to break the German Enigma traffic, however driven by the imperative of finding what the Germans were up to, they, uniquely among other nations at that time, decided to try a mathematical approach. In 1932 a team of young mathematicians was set up. It included Jerzy Rozycki, Henryk Zygalski and Marian Rejewski (all of whom were products of the notable flowering of Polish mathematics in the 1920s and 1930s).
