As a satellite conference to the above-mentioned Second European Mathematical Congress, this meeting - which aims at bringing together the future mathematicians of Europe - will take place 29 July - 2 August 1996 in Miskolc, Hungary.
The conference welcomes young people between 13 and 19, interested in mathematics, from all countries in Europe. It will provide an excellent opportunity for the participants to make friends and meet famous European mathematicians. In addition to new ideas, participants will become acquanited with several new branches and applications of mathematics as well as educational software and logical games. Apart from lectures by scholars, the participants may themselves give talks or exhibit posters. Those wishing to give a talk should submit a manuscript no later than 31 March 1996.
For further information and preliminary registration, please contact
The official languages of the conference are English and Hungarian. Contributions in Hungarian will be translated into English. Contributions in any other language are welcomed if supported by an English translation.
This conference will be held 27-29 August 1996 in Isfahan, Iran. The Scientific Committee is chaired by Dr. Ali Rejali, School of Mathematics, Isfahan University of Technology.
The main theme of the conference is the popularisation of mathematics through high schools with the help of dedicated mathematics teachers. Three major study groups will present their studies, and two workshops on geometry and mathematical modelling will be offered. Exhibitions on books, software and other education facilities are planned for the conference.
