As the moderator for this year's Mathematics Roundtable, I'll be writing the Mathematics News for the next year. Please send me any news you'd like to see in this column.
This year's Mathematics Roundtable will be held on Wednesday June 11, 12-1:30 pm (tentatively scheduled for the Wilder Room, Marriott Hotel). The theme will be Digital Archives in Mathematics, and the preliminary agenda is as follows:
- Introduction of speakers and audience members
- Speakers providing overviews/updates of mathematics digitization projects that they are involved with:
- Digital Mathematics Library (Cornell), and EMANI: Electronic Mathematical Archiving Network Initiative. Steve Rockey, Director of the Mathematics Library, Cornell University.
- Project Euclid. David Ruddy, Acting Director, Project Euclid, Cornell University Library.
- University of Michigan Historical Mathematics Collection. JoAnn Sears, Mathemetics/Physics Librarian, University of Michigan.
- Questions for speakers; roundtable discussion about any other mathematics digitization projects that attendees are working on/familiar with/interested in; discussion about how attendees' libraries/organizations are using/linking to mathematics digital archives.
- As time allows, roundtable discussion about what's new and interesting at attendees' libraries/organizations, any other mathematics related discussion topics, etc. (Please send me suggestions about possible discussion topics.)
We wish to thank SIAM for sponsoring the roundtable and look forward to meeting their representatives at the session and in the exhibits hall.
As preparation for the session, I recommend taking a look at Steve Rockey's Mathematics Digitization page at
http://www.math.cornell.edu:/~library/digitalization.html.
Also, here are the pages of the 4 projects being discussed by the Roundtable speakers:
