Mathematical Cultures & Practices XI
St Andrews, Scotland, 8-10 July 2020, Satellite Meeting of the BSHM-CSHPM/SCHPM meeting "People, Places, Practices" https://www.math.uni-hamburg.d
KEYNOTE SPEAKERS.
David Abrahams, Isaac Newton Institute, Cambridge, England.
Jessica Bradford, Science Museum Group, London, England.
Nina Engelhardt, University of Stuttgart, Germany.
Christian Greiffenhagen, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong,
China.
Matthew Inglis, Loughborough University, England.
Alice Jenkins, University of Glasgow, Scotland.
Mikkel Willum Johansen, University of Copenhagen, Denmark.
Norbert Schappacher, Institut de Recherche Mathematique Avancee,
Strasbourg, France.
This meeting stands in the tradition of an informal series of meetings of scholars interested in cultural aspects of mathematical research practice, attracting a community of scholars from mathematics, philosophy, mathematics education, sociology, anthropology, automated reasoning, and history of mathematics. Participants of these gatherings were interested in developing a view of mathematics on the basis of empirical observations of the practices of mathematicians, taking into account the fact that cultures and practices of mathematics vary over time, space, and research community.
We should like to invite all researchers working in the study of cultures and practices of mathematics to contribute their presentations to the next conference of the informal series, held in St Andrews, Scotland, from 8 to 10 July 2020 as a satellite event of the BSHM-CSHPM/SCHPM meeting in St Andrews.
Please submit short abstracts (100-250 words) on questions including, but not limited to, the following topics:
* Local mathematical cultures and styles: How can we define a mathematical culture? Which cultures are particularly interesting or influential? How do different cultures interact?
* Values in mathematics: What do mathematicians value? How do these values emerge or change? How widely are they shared?
* The social nature of mathematical knowledge production: How is the process of knowledge construction coordinated? How does collaboration work in various media? How do power structures and historical biases affect production of, and conventions within, research mathematics? What does social interaction online look like?
* Materiality of mathematics: How do various physical materials used affect the production of mathematics? What is the role of the blackboard, the sketchpad, the pencil? How have technogical advances such as email, latex, blogs and fora had an affect?
* Technological innovations: What is the role of the computer in mathematical production? How do successes in automated reasoning interact with research mathematics?
The submission deadline is 20 March 2020. Please submit via the Easychair submission page
