---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Isobel Falconer <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wed, 6 May 2020, 10:39 Subject: CfP: Mathematics in Times of Crisis (online) 6 July To: <[log in to unmask]> The British Society for the History of Mathematics will be holding an online conference on 6 July on the theme "Mathematics iin Times of Crisis". The meeting will use a mix of specially recorded presentations and live discussion sessions using zoom. If you would like to give a presentation, please email Isobel Falconer ( [log in to unmask]). Presentations may be of any length between 10min and 40 min. Guidance on how to record your presentation will be provided. The "Crisis" might be mathematical (e.g. Cantor's realisation that there were different types of infinity), economic (e.g. a financial crash), health (e.g. Newton self-isolating in an orchard), political (e.g. transition between chinese dynasties), warfare, or any other type that occurs to you. The interesting thing is how mathematics or mathematicians caused, responded or developed during the crisis. Registration details will follow. ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the STATISTICS-HISTORY list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=STATISTICS-HISTORY&A=1 You may leave the list at any time by sending the command SIGNOFF allstat to [log in to unmask], leaving the subject line blank.
