We are pleased to
announce that the Centre for Logic and Philosophy of Science (CLWF) of the Vrije
Universiteit Brussel (VUB) will host the Novembertagung on the History of
Mathematics 2017 in Brussels, Belgium. Registration and call for papers are now
open.
The
Novembertagung on the History of Mathematics is an annual international
conference
aimed
at PhD and postdoctoral students in the history of mathematics and related
fields. It
provides
an opportunity for them to present and discuss their research in an informal
and
safe
environment, share experiences and advice and to establish new contacts.
The
theme of the Novembertagung this year is
“Tools
for research in mathematics, history and philosophy”
We
encourage submissions of two kinds:
1)
historical and philosophical
considerations about tool use in mathematics
2)
methodological considerations
about history and philosophy of mathematics
The
theme serves as a guide, not as an criterion for exclusion; it is not necessary
for a submission to engage with the theme to be accepted.
We
will be able to cover the conference costs, including accommodation and all
meals, for all participants, but the available spaces are limited and
registration is required.
The
call for papers is now open. We encourage young researchers to submit abstracts
of 500 words or less to novembertagung2017@gmail.com.
The submission deadline is August 15, 2017. Letters of confirmation will be
sent out shortly after this date.
The Novembertagung
2017 is supported by the Strategic Research Program entitled “Logic and
Philosophy of Mathematical Practices” of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB);
the Doctoral School of Human Sciences (DSh) of the VUB; the International
Commission for History on the Mathematics (ICHM); the Belgian Society for Logic
and Philosophy of Science (BSLPS) and the
Association for the Philosophy of Mathematical Practice (APMP).
Please
note that the GDR 3398 will be hosting an Instructional Conference near
Marseilles the week after the Novembertagung, November 6-10. We encourage our
participants to participate in this event as well:
