Diderot Mathematical Forum 2013 – Mathematics of Planet Earth


December 4th, 2013

First Announcement:
Diderot Mathematical Forum 2013 –
Mathematics of Planet Earth
Berlin/Exeter/Zagreb, December 17th 2013
The  cycle  of  conferences  “Diderot  Mathematical  Forum”  was  introduced  by  the  European  Mathematical
Society  (EMS,  http://www.euro-math-soc.eu/) in 1996. Each conference takes place simultaneously in three
European cities exchanging information by telecommunication, addresses a specific topic, and has both a research and a public component. So far, there have been five Diderot Mathematical Forums: Mathematics and
finance  (London,  Moscow,  Zürich,  1996),  Mathematics  and  environment:  Problems  related  to  water
(Amsterdam, Madrid, Venice, 1997), Mathematics as a force of cultural evolution (Berlin, Florence, Krakow,
1998),  Mathematics  and  music  (Lisbon,  Paris,  Vienna,  1999),  Mathematics  and  telecommunications
(Eindhoven, Helsinki, Lausanne, 2001). As this year, 2013, is the international year of  Mathematics of planet
Earth  (MPE2013,  http://mpe2013.org/), the  Committee for Raising the Public Awareness of Mathematics of
the EMS intiated the renewal of the cycle for 2013, with the topic Mathematics of planet Earth. This Diderot
mathematical  forum  will  thus  present  one  of  the  final  MPE2013  activities.  Professors  Mireille  ChaleyatMaurel (UFR Mathématique et Informatique, Université Paris Descartes, Paris) and  Franka Miriam Brueckler
(Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science, Zagreb) have been chosen as coordinators of the event.
The conference is to be held on  December 17
th
2013  in  Berlin (Germany), Exeter (United Kingdom) and Zagreb (Croatia). The sites of the conference will be:
