FORNI WINS FIRST BRIN PRIZE    
Giovanni Forni (University of Maryland) was recently awarded the first 
Michael Brin Prize in Dynamical Systems. Forni's research is on the 
dynamics of rational polygonal billiards and of nilflows on higher step 
nilmanifolds. The prize is endowed by Michael Brin of the University of 
Maryland and carries with it a US$15,000 award. Subsequent prizes will 
be awarded in the fall of odd-numbered years. More information about the

2007 ICMI AWARDS
The International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI) is 
awarding the 2007 Felix Klein Medal to Jeremy Kilpatrick (University of 
Georgia) and the 2007 Hans Freudenthal Medal to Anna Sfard (University 
of Haifa and University of London). Kilpatrick was recognized "for more 
than forty years of sustained and distinguished lifetime achievement in 
mathematics education research and development." Sfard was recognized 
for "highly significant and scientifically deep accomplishments within a 
consistent, long-term research programme focused on objectification and 
discourse in mathematics education." The awards will be presented during 
the opening ceremony at ICME-11 in Monterrey, Mexico on July 7, 2008. A
