MATHEMATICAL INSTITUTION'S PARTICIPATION IN WMY 2000
The French association femmes et mathématiques ( women and mathematics) whose members are mathematicians working at universities or research institutes, or mathematics teachers in high schools or undergraduate colleges, will take an active part in the preparation of WMY 2000. The purposes of the association are to promote women in the scientific community, especially in mathematics, to encourage girls to study mathematics, and more generally the technical and scientific areas, and to be a meeting place for women mathematicians and women mathematics teachers.
Our project for WMY 2000 is to publish a book with texts written by women about mathematics : mathematics for themselves, mathematics in society and in relation with other disciplines, such as physics, computer science, biology, philosophy, sociology,... We also plan to include pictures of women mathematicians from around the world.
