1. Editorial: 2013 is The Year of Mathematics of Planet
Earth<br><br>
Our planet suffers from excessive use of its natural resources, from
desertification, from pollution of the earth and the oceans. The above
causes hunger and affects public health, life expectancy, and
bio-diversity. Climate change, whether man made or not, is already
causing extreme events and disasters. Man made systems, like
transportations flows, health systems, or financial organization, are
becoming more and more complex and sometimes run out of control. These
phenomena have raised public awareness and influence the agenda of
governments, of international bodies, and of science policy leaders.<br>
It is clear that addressing the above issues should start with scientific
research and advanced technological development. Every high-school
student understands that the solutions require study and research in the
exact sciences like chemistry, physics and geology, in the life sciences
like epidemiology, genetics and zoology, and in engineering. It is not
clear whether every high-school student is aware that beyond all of it
there is mathematics.<br>
The high-school teachers need to demonstrate that there is mathematical
modeling and algorithms behind water resource management and hydrological
forecasting; behind energy generation, preservation and allocation;
behind weather prediction, fluid dynamics, forecasting extreme events
(tsunamis, hurricanes, earthquakes) and risk management; behind analyzing
complex systems (like transportation and finance); behind understanding
epidemic spread and virus infections; and behind ecological conservation.
Curriculum planning should take this into consideration, and policy
makers should be strongly aware of it.<br>
The mathematics behind our responses includes a wide spectrum of
mathematical fields, from complex analysis to numerical analysis to
stochastics, statistics, probability, ergodic theory, game theory,
catastrophe theory, projective geometry, algebra, and scientific
computing.<br>
Therefore the International Mathematical Union declared the year 2013 as
The Year of Mathematics of Planet Earth (MPE). In terms of
education systems this means presenting posters and models in schools,
special issues of mathematical magazines, interactive web activities, and
teachers conferences on the theme. In terms of mathematics education
national societies 2013 should be a time of presenting to the public and
creating platforms for financing mathematical programmes. In terms
of ICMI, it can mean special round tables at our conferences, curriculum
development via study groups, interdisciplinary conferences jointly
organized with other mathematical and science and science education
societies and other organizations. We need to remain aware that effective
Mathematics and Mathematics Education are necessary in order to protect
our planet, our lives, and our futures.<br><br>

2. UNESCO: The challenges of mathematics education in basic
education<br><br>
"Les défis de l'enseignement des mathématiques dans l'éducation de
base"<br><br>
In 2009, as ICMI president,<b> Michèle Artigue</b> was asked to take part
in a meeting of experts organized by UNESCO in Paris about science and
mathematics education policies, and then on the basis of the conclusions
of this meeting to prepare a document on the challenges of mathematics
education in basic education to be published and disseminated by UNESCO
together with a parallel document addressing the challenges of scientific
education. This second document was written by<b> Charles Ryan,</b>
University of Winchester UK.<br>
The two documents have just been concluded but are not yet available for
distribution.<br>
In line with the declaration from the World Conference in Science held in
Budapest in 1999, they consider that anyone should have access to a
scientific education of quality, and also that such an education has a
decisive contribution to offer to the realization of the Millenium Goals
adopted by the UN in 2000. Mathematics education is here considered an
essential component of scientific education at large, and the connections
to be established between education in mathematics and in science are
emphasized in the two documents which share a common introduction and
structure.<br><br>
The two documents were presented in a seminar held in Paris, January 19,
at the UNESCO headquarters and presided by<b> Georges Haddad</b>, the
director of the Education Research & Foresigh Team of UNESCO, and a
former director of the Division of Higher Education. A number of UNESCO
staff and other interested public were present.<br>
UNESCO presented these documents as a response to the world need of
scientists able of imagining futures of which we can now just have a
glimpse, but also of our need to understand the challenges of health,
environment, energy, development so that all the people are able to
understand these challenges and that the debate is not reserved to
specialists.<br>
UNESCO considers it important to have a scientific education of quality
for all, and this includes mathematics education and technological
education.<br><br>
The mathematics document presents first the agreed vision on the
significance of a mathematics education of quality, emphasizing that it
should be faithful to mathematics, both in its content and practices,
raise students' interest towards the discipline and develop students'
confidence in their mathematical capacities. It should thus enable
students to understand that mathematics is part of a long history
combined with the history of humanity; that mathematics is not a fixed
corpus of knowledge but, on the contrary, a living and expanding science,
whose development nourishes that of other scientific fields and is
nourished by them in return.<br><br>
The current published version of the document is in French. An English
translation has been prepared by the ICMI Executive Committee and should
be soon published by UNESCO which also takes in charge the preparation of
a Spanish version. An Italian translation is being prepared under the
responsibility of the Italian Mathematical Union and will be published by
it. UNESCO is open to translation in any other language, and the
different versions will be made accessible on the ICMI website. ICMI
sincerely hopes that the publication of this document and its
dissemination will productively support reflection and action among all
those who can contribute to reaching the goal of quality mathematics
education for all.<br><br>
We will post a note in this newsletter when the documents are available
in print or on the web.<br><br>

3. New permanent Office of IMU/ICMI/CDC<br><br>
February 1, 2011 was a great day for IMU and ICMI and CDC. After a
lengthy but very productive process, we are all going to have a permanent
office and will not need any more to carry all the papers and documents
all over the world from the office of one President or Secretary General
to the next one. IMU General Assembly decided to accept the offer of the
Weierstrass Institute (WIAS) in Berlin and now we have a brand new
headquarters with permanent staff working on it: 5 positions have been
opened and are being filled.<br><br>
In the Official Opening Ceremony of the Permanent IMU Secretariat were
present Dr. Georg Schütte, State Secretary of the German Federal Ministry
of Education and Research, a representative of Prof. Dr. E. Jürgen
Zöllner, Berlin Senator for Education, Science and Research, Prof. Dr.
Ingrid Daubechies, President of the International Mathematical Union
(IMU) , Prof. Dr. Christian Bär, President of the German Mathematical
Society (DMV), Prof. Dr. Jürgen Sprekels, Director of WIAS and Prof. Dr.
Martin Grötschel, IMU Secretary, Vice President of the Zuse Institute
Berlin. This was a very significant ceremony for the IMU activities, as
well as its two main committees ICMI and CDC.<br><br>
You can see some of the news about the opening ceremony here:<br><br>

4. Meeting of the ICMI Executive Committee<br><br>
The 2010-2012 Executive Committee of ICMI is going to have its second
meeting in Beijing later this month. All ICMI activities will be
reviewed, from ICMI Studies to cooperation with UNESCO, from the process
of choosing the site for ICME-13 (2016) to the current status of the
organization of ICME-12, from the discussion of the metrics
"imposed" in a lot of countries to math journals to the
definition of guidelines for ICMI Studies, from the demand of new
Affiliate organizations to the the status of the ICMI regional
conferences or the launching of new projects. A summary of the
conclusions will be published in another newsletter.<br><br>

5. Alicia Villar (Uruguay)<br><br>
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Prof. Dra. Alicia
Villar from Uruguay that was, from 1999 to 2003, vice-president of
IACME-CIAEM, the Interamerican Committee on Mathematics Education, an
organization affiliated to ICMI.<br>
She died on February 4, 2011. She was the founder and first President of
SEMUR-Sociedad de Educación Matemática Uruguaya. The president of SEMUR,
Prof. Etda Rodríguez, "recalls the good moments in which Alicia did
so much for Mathematics Education in our country". Luis Balbueña,
Secretary General of the Iberoamerican Federation of Societies of
Mathematics Education, says that Alicia was a woman that put vehemence in
all she was doing.<br>
Alicia Villar Icasuriaga had a PhD in Methodology and Didactics of
Mathematics and was preparing teachers of Mathematics at the Instituto de
Profesores "Artigas" (IPA), Montevideo, Uruguay.<br>
Beyond the vice-presidency of IACME-CIAEM she had an intensive
international activity. She was the organizer of the Xth meeting of IACME
that took place in 1999 in Maldonado (Urguay), she was a vice-president
of the International Committee that organizes the meetings "Didática
da Matemática do Cone Sul" including countries from the south cone
of South America; she was the main organizer of the first such meeting
that took place in Montevideo at the Instituto de Professores
"Artigas", on the 24th and 25th of April of 1992.<br>
She was a member of the team that organized TSG 18: Problem solving in
mathematics education in ICME-10. She was a member of the International
Program Committee of the 11th International Conference of The Mathematics
Education into the 21st Century Project that is going to take place in
September 11-17, 2011 in Rhodes University, Grahamstown, South
Africa.<br>
Maria Salett Biembengut (Brasil), a former president of IACME-CIAEM
wrote that "My dear Alicia dedicated part of her professional life
to Mathematics Education. She was always present in international events
and was an intrepid advocate of IACEM-CIEM. We will feel sorrow for
her."<br><br>
Some of her works include:<br>
'Solving mathematical and logical problems with Lewis Carroll', Números,
No. 34, 39-45 (1998).<br>
'Using Uruguayan architecture to teach geometry', Aust. Math. Teach. 53,
No. 2, 24-26 (1997).<br>
'Mathematics and the World Soccer Championship. Didactical Module', First
International Congress of Ethnomathematics (ICEM), Granada, Spain,
1998.<br>
' "An original walk"(through the city of Montevideo)', First

7. Changes to the HPM newsletter<br><br>
There are a few important changes to the HPM Newsletter now.<br>
Chris Weeks is stepping down as co-editor after working on the newsletter
since 2004. With his knowledge of the field and the group, he has been
essential to the newsletter for more than six years. He is being replaced
by no less than three new co-editors, which is a clear suggestion of his
value to the HPM community.<br>
The new newsletter co-editors are Kathy Clark, Snezana Lawrence and
Helder Pinto, whom will be presented more fully in time.<br>
The other important change is that we are publishing the newsletter
online as a<u> supplement</u> to the paper version. The version online is
available on the website<u>
<a href="http://grouphpm.wordpress.com/" eudora="autourl">
http://grouphpm.wordpress.com/</a></u>.<br><br>
There will be new articles online every month, and these articles will go
into the issues that will be published three times a year as before.<br>
The online version offers opportunities for publishing content more
quickly and to have feedback on articles - as well as making it even
simpler for new people to find the HPM group. Any suggestions and input
is welcome.<br>
There is available, right now, the following items:<br><br>
- Novembertagung 2010: A conference for History of Mathematics Ph.D.
students;<br>
- Special issue of Mathematics in School;<br>
- First announcement HPM 2012;<br>
- Announcement Second International Conference on the History of
Mathematics Education;<br>
- BSHM Bulletin Volume 25 Number 3 (2010);<br>
- More on the Kenneth O. May prize;<br>
- Have you read these?<br>
<br>

</a></u> <br>
Please send contributions to the HPM Newsletter 76 to Bjørn Smestad
(Bjorn.Smestad@lui.hio.no) before February 12th, 2011. Both articles,
notices, book reviews and announcements of events are very welcome, as
well as information for the "Have you read these?" and
"Have you been there?" sections.<br>
<br>
We hope that the newsletter and its version online are useful!<br>
