Research School (Instructional Conference) of the Groupement de Recherche (GDR) History of Mathematics

The second Research School (Instructional Conference) of the Groupement de Recherche (GDR) History of Mathematics will take place at  CIRM (Luminy) from 6 to 10 November 2017.

This instructional conference invites young, doctoral or post-doctoral researchers from France or from abroad to gather around the theme:

The flux of mathematics  – How do texts and theories travel through time and space?

This question can engage all current research directions in the history of mathematics. It points to recent innovative work on the ways in which mathematical knowledge has circulated between different cultural frames via translations, on the adoption of old theories for later periods of the historical process, and on ways of communicating mathematics to various audiences, as well as on the physical support of this communication. 

See the CIRM website: http://scientific-events.weebly.com/1758.html for the announcement, a sketch of the program, and a provisional timetable of the meeting.

Thank you for (pre-)registering on the CIRM website ASAP; both the places at the CIRM and the funds of the GDR are limited. We will then get in touch with you, in particular about whether you can count on financial support from your home institution.  

Participants will be lodged at the CIRM.

For any further question do not hesitate to write to Norbert Schappacher (schappacher@math.unistra.fr) and Sabine Rommevaux (sabine.rommevaux@free.fr).
