Extractions: Next: FRANCO-RUSSIAN MEETING Up: REPORTS OF MEETINGS HELD Previous: Workshop on RenormalisationParis, This section within the Gesellschaft fuer Didaktik der Mathematik GDM (Society for Mathematics Education) was founded in March 1989 and given the name Frauen und Mathematikunterricht (Women and Mathematics Teaching). Its aims are on two levels: * The first level is that of research into feminist studies. Here, starting from the problematic relationship between girls (resp. women) and mathematics, the following is analysed: how the circumstances of gender have influenced the development of mathematics as a science and especially influenced the teaching of mathematics, both in the past and today. Measures are developed and discussed which seem suitable for changing mathematics and the teaching thereof in such a way as to eliminate stereotype ideas, in order to make it possible for both sexes to have equality of access to the subject. * On the level of increasing female influence measures are discussed of how to advance and support female scientists in the field of mathematics. The section, which is open to men as well as women, is made up of mathematics educationalists at colleges or universities, teachers at schools and students - all of both sexes. Apart from a short meeting during the yearly congresses of the GDM, the section also meets every autumn for a three-day departmental conference. These conferences also aim at addressing interested colleagues of both sexes from schools and from colleges and universities in the area around the venue of the conference, providing them with a forum for discussion and the exchange of experiences.
New Book On Women In Mathematics And Sciences presents a picture of life and work of the first woman who got an official professorshipin mathematics at a German university ruth moufang (19051977). http://www.risc.uni-linz.ac.at/misc-info/ewm/newsletter/news4/main/node15.html
Extractions: Next: Visiting Chicago Up: OTHER NEWS Previous: Bibliography of Mathematical Books The historian of mathematics Renate Tobies, of the Mathematical Department of Kaiserslautern University in Germany, is preparing a book on women in mathematics and sciences. This book will be published by Campus publishing house, Frankfurt a.M. and New York, in 1997/98. An early woman doctor in mathematics said in 1912 :``In spite of all culture of men and art, of all women bodies and ballets", we deal with mathematics and science. She belonged to those women who attended German universities in droves in order to study mathematics and sciences in the beginning of the 20th century. Renate Tobies has assembled an illustrious circle of experts to contribute to this book. The American historian of science, Lorraine Daston, now Director of Max Planck Institute of History of Sciences in Berlin, writes about the history of female intellect. The mathematician and prizewinning writer Cordula Tollmien describes the relationship of the first woman doctor in mathematics, Sofja Kowalewskaja (1850-1891), and her girlfriend, the first woman doctor in chemistry Julia Lermontowa (1847-1919). Both got their doctor's degree at Goettingen University in Germany in 1874. For the first time, archive material of their doctorates will be published completely here. Renate Tobies gives the whole book an introduction with the subject: ``Aspects of influence on women study and career in mathematics and sciences". In addition, she analyzes the women doctorates in mathematics at German universities until 1933. Waltraud Voss, from the Dresden Technical University, draws an impressive portrait of two sisters, who got their doctor's degrees in mathematics. One of them worked as a longstanding assistant at a mathematical department. She was the first scientific assistant at a mathematical department of a technical university in Germany, and she worked with the mathematician Gerhard Kowalewski (1876-1950) who stimulated the most women - until 1933 - to write a doctoral thesis in mathematics.

Extractions: Department of Mathematics Buildings and the Moufang Property by Richard Weiss , Professor of Mathematics, Tufts University, Medford, Massachusetts Abstract In his famous Lecture Notes of 1974, Jacques Tits gave a classification of (thick irreducible) spherical buildings of rank at least three . He observed in the addenda to that work that every residue (the most important class of subbuildings) of rank at least two of such a building has a symmetry property he called the Moufang condition (in honor of Ruth Moufang's work in the early 1930's on projective planes) and proposed the two projects of classifying (thick irreducible) spherical buildings of rank two (equivalently, generalized polygons) which satisfy the Moufang condition and using such a classification to reprove the classification of spherical buildings of rank greater than two. In joint work with Tits, these two projects have now been completed. We will give a brief overview of this work. Last Revised: 12/23/02

Extractions: Since the winter solstice is coming soon, I'll start with some gift suggestions... for the physicist who has everything. 1) The Universe Map, National Geographic Society, 2000, NSG #602011. I've only seen a picture of this 20 x 31 inch map, but I know I want one! In a series of different 3d views, it shows the solar system, nearby stars, the Milky Way, the Local Group and the observable universe as a whole. I'll put it outside my office so my students can figure out just where they stand in the grand scheme of things. 2) Wil Tirion and Roger W. Sinnot, Sky Atlas 2000.0, 2nd edition, Cambridge U. Press, 1999. This is a favorite sky atlas among amateur astronomers. It comes in lots of versions, but Kevin Kelly of Whole Earth says that the most useful is the "deluxe version, spiralbound". 3) Lee Smolin, Three Roads to Quantum Gravity, Weidenfeld and Nicholson, 2000. This is a nontechnical guide to quantum gravity and the different approaches people have taken to this problem: string theory, loop quantum gravity, and the more radical lines of thought pursued by people whom Smolin calls "the true heroes of quantum gravity", like Alain Connes, David Finkelstein, Chris Isham, Roger Penrose and Raphael Sorkin. I haven't gotten ahold of this book, so I can't describe it in detail yet, but it should be lots of fun. That's enough gift suggestions. Now I want to talk about Jordan algebras and how they show up in projective geometry, quantum logic, special relativity and so on. I'll start by reminding you of some stuff from "

Extractions: 3. Octonionic Projective Geometry Projective geometry is a venerable subject that has its origins in the study of perspective by Renaissance painters. As seen by the eye, parallel lines e.g., train tracks appear to meet at a `point at infinity'. When one changes ones viewpoint, distances and angles appear to change, but points remain points and lines remain lines. These facts suggest a modification of Euclidean plane geometry, based on a set of points, a set of lines, and relation whereby a point `lies on' a line, satisfying the following axioms: A structure satisfying these axioms is called a projective plane . Part of the charm of this definition is that it is `self-dual': if we switch the words `point' and `line' and switch who lies on whom, it stays the same. We have already met one example of a projective plane in Section : the smallest one of all, the Fano plane. The example relevant to perspective is the real projective plane

The reason is that J(V) is naturally equipped with a dot product: ~ (v,a) . (w,b) =
