El planteo de José sobre sus dudas creo que abre una ventana para la
opinión sobre un tema interesante, cuando no espinoso.
Concretamente, respecto del primer argumento creo que el mismo es un buen
disparador para reflexionar sobre nuestra conducta (pasada, presente y
futura).

A lo largo de las últimas décadas han existido (y existen) países cuya
forma de gobierno es... controvertida por así decirlo.
Lo que para unos está bien, para otros no, y las veredas suelen cambiar
cuando se cambia el país.

La comunidad como tal ha viajado para asistir a  congresos, estadías para
doctorados, postdoctorados, etc. en momentos en los que sucedían cosas
cuestionadas por unos, justificadas (cuando no defendidas) por otros.

El colonialismo en Francia, el franquismo, el  país Vasco y ahora Cataluña
en España, la prisión para los homosexuales en Cuba, partido único y gulag
en la URSS, la desigualdad de género en Arabia Saudí, el tema palestino en
Israel,  racismo y segregación en EEUU, etc. etc. etc.

Cada uno podrá seguir con su propia bolsa de ejemplos (Chile, Argentina,
Venezuela, Brasil, etc.).
En algún momento hemos estado  en países al momento de ocurrir en los
mismos cosas controvertidas (o estamos o pensamos estar).

El argumento 1) de José es una buena excusa para mirarnos y reflexionar.
Saludos
J.

>>
>> Dear Colleagues,
>>
>>
>> After so many months of work and expectation, the year of the
>>
>> Congress has finally arrived!
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> Preparations are well under way: the bulk of the scientific
>>
>> program has been defined, the proceedings are being finalized
>>
>> (the papers by plenary and invited speakers will be
>>
>> distributed to all the participants at the Congress), travel
>>
>> grants have been awarded to participants from the developing
>>
>> world, communications and posters are being selected as I
>>
>> write, and registration <http://www.icm2018.org/portal/en/how-to-apply>
>> of participants is also taking place right now.
>>
>> Keep in mind that the deadline for early advance registration,
>>
>> with reduced registration fee, is April 27.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> Much of our effort over the last couple of years has been
>>
>> geared towards advertising the Congress, domestically and
>>
>> abroad, as we take the occasion as a historic opportunity to
>>
>> popularize mathematics  in
>>
>> our society and, especially, ​ amongst the Brazilian youth. I
>>
>> believe we are being very successful.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> The Biennium of Mathematics <http://www.icm2018.org/portal/en/news20>
>> 2017-2018 <2017%202018>, formally proclaimed by the
>>
>> Brazilian national parliament, encompasses a wide range of
>>
>> outreach initiatives throughout the country, and raised the
>>
>> profile of mathematics in mainstream media to totally
>>
>> unprecedented levels. Thus after hosting the 2014 FIFA World
>>
>> Cup finals, and the 2016 Olympic Summer Games, Rio de Janeiro
>>
>> is now equally proud to receive the 2018 International

>> *FIELDS MEDALIST ALAN BAKER PASSED AWAY *In
>>
>> 1966 a new era in transcendental number theory was marked by
>>
>> the young British mathematician Alan Baker at Cambridge. In a
>>
>> cascade of papers he published solutions to a series of
>>
>> outstanding Diophantine problems and thereby revitalizing a
>>
>> theory which had come to stagnation after a golden period
>>
>> between 1930 and 1949 with the solution of Hilbert’s 7th
>>
>> problem posed in a plenary lecture at the international
>>
>> congress of mathematicians in Paris in 1900. In 1934, very
>>
>> surprisingly, Theodor Schneider, a student of Siegel, and A.
>>
>> O. Gelfond gave the solution and showed   to be transcendental. In
>>
>> the subsequent years they pushed forward the techniques and
>>
>> essentially reached the limits of the method now known as the
>>
>> Gelfond-Schneider method. To much surprise Alan Baker got into
>>
>> this very difficult part of number theory from around 1964
>>
>> working on it in Britain very much on his own.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> Alan Baker was
>>
>> born on 19 August 1939 in Forest Gate in East London. From a
>>
>> very early age on he was showing signs of mathematical
>>
>> brilliance and was encouraged by his parents. He got a first
>>
>> class degree at University College London before he moved to
>>
>> Trinity College to study with Davenport. During this time he
>>
>> published between 1962 and 1965 eight papers which made his
>>
>> very high mathematical potential visible. In 1965 he received
>>
>> his doctorate degree and was elected Fellow of Trinity College
>>
>> as a research Fellow.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> In 1970 at the
>>
>> ICM in Nice Alan Baker was awarded the Fields Medal
>> <https://www.mathunion.org/imu-awards/fields-medal> on the basis of
>>
>> his outstanding work on linear forms in logarithms. It had
>>
>> been known for long time that this would solve a number of
>>
>> outstanding problems in number theory like the so-called class
>>
>> number problem of Gauss. The Gelfond-Schneider method could
>>
>> not be applied to general linear forms in logarithms which
>>
>> were needed for these applications. In a completely unexpected
>>
>> and spectacular way Alan Baker succeeded to find a miraculous
>>
>> new approach for dealing with this problem. He received many
>>
>> honors including the Adams prize
>> <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adams_Prize>, the election to
>>
>> the Royal
>>
>> Society <https://royalsociety.org/>, to the Academia
>>
>> Europaea <http://www.ae-info.org/>, he was made an
>>
>> honorary Fellow of University College London, a foreign Fellow
>>
>> of the Indian Academy of Science, a foreign Fellow of the
>>
>> National Academy of Sciences India (1993) and an honorary
>>
>> member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (2001).
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> The new theory of
>>
>> transcendental numbers which started from Baker’s fundamental
>>
>> insight has been further developed in the last decades and
>>
>> applied in many fields of mathematics quite far away from
>>
>> number theory. Alan Baker passed away on February 4 but his
>>
>> work stays and is part of the mathematical culture.

>> Mathematics Committee
>> <https://www.lms.ac.uk/about/committees/women-mathematics-committee>,
>> and her sister
>>
>> Irina Linke, a cinematographer, produced a short film for
>>
>> International Women’s Day March 8 2018 featuring cameos by
>>
>> women mathematicians around the globe. Each woman gives her
>>
>> name and country and says in her own language "I am a
>>
>> mathematician". Eugenie had contacted the IMU Committee for
>>
>> Women in Mathematics (CWM), who decided to support their
>>
>> project.  A request for
>>
>> film clips sent around the world through the 120 CWM
>>
>> Ambassadors list resulted in a phenomenal response—149 clips
>>
>> representing 249 women from 37 countries speaking 32
>>
>> languages, and collected in less than one month.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> The initial plan
>>
>> was for the film to be 3 min long, but Irina and Eugenie
>>
>> wanted to include all the clips (the last one from Agustina, 6
>>
>> years old, who "wants to be a mathematician") and CWM provided
>>
>> financial support for Irina's heavy editing task.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> The film
>>
>> emphasises the international nature of mathematics. There are
>>
>> women in the film speaking Chinese in the US, Greek in the
>>
>> Netherlands.  There’s a
>>
>> clip of a Russian woman speaking Tatar in Germany; and in one
>>
>> single clip from the UK, Hebrew, Brazilian, German and English
>>
>> are spoken.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> The focus of the
>>
>> film is on proud, strong women that are actively doing maths,
>>
>> but it also emphasizes that it’s not unusual for women to work
>>
>> in mathematics.  The
>>
>> film shows women everywhere who enjoy it and do it as a
>>
>> profession.  It is also
>>
>> an opportunity for people to see images of strength and pride
>>
>> from developing countries. It’s a film about women, but it’s
>>
>> also about expanding people’s ideas about countries that are
>>
>> often only heard about in the context of crisis.  One aim of the movie is
>>
>> that the next time people hear about Nigeria, Nepal or the
>>
>> Philippines, they think, `Oh, yeah, that is the place with all
>>
>> of those fantastic women mathematicians!’”

>>
>>
>> In July this
>>
>> year, the International Council for Science (ICSU <https://www.icsu.org/>)
>> and the
>>
>> International Social Science Council (ISSC
>> <http://www.worldsocialscience.org/>) will take the
>>
>> last step towards the constitution of a single unified
>>
>> Council, already known as the International Science Council
>>
>> (ISC). In fact, the first General Assembly
>> <http://www.worldsocialscience.org/2017/12/founding-general-assembly-international-science-council-isc-take-place-3-5-july-2018-paris-france/>
>> of the ISC is to
>>
>> be held in the period July 3-5 in Paris, where its first
>>
>> Executive Committee will be elected.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> This General
>>
>> Assembly will culminate a long process that began in 2015 with
>>
>> an exchange of correspondence between the respective
>>
>> presidents of the ICSU and the ISSC. Intensive work continued
>>
>> until in October, 2016, the two General Assemblies of the ICSU
>>
>> and the ISSC voted in favour of merging the two organizations.
>>
>> The final decision was scheduled the year after. The go-ahead
>>
>> was approved at the joint General Assembly of ICSU and ISSC
>>
>> held in Taipei last year, in October 2017.  Throughout this process
>>
>> the two councils maintained full transparency between
>>
>> themselves and their members. Everyone is aware of the
>>
>> enormous difficulties involved in the coordination of this
>>
>> transition.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> The new Council
>>
>> now faces a crucial task in its role as the single voice for
>>
>> science. Unilateral solutions are insufficient for the serious
>>
>> challenges facing humanity, such as sustainability, climate
>>
>> change, the new migratory waves caused by this change, the
>>
>> search for alternative energy sources, etc.. These are
>>
>> problems for which an interdisciplinary approach is vital, and
>>
>> in which the social sciences will play an important role.
>>
>> There is no doubt that mathematics will also form an essential
>>
>> part of the new council. The IMU must continue its already
>>
>> growing collaboration with this body.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> Furthermore,
>>
>> science cannot be regarded as an asset that belongs to only a
>>
>> few; it is a force for the common good that should be enjoyed
>>
>> by all citizens of the world and from which they should all
>>
>> profit. Hence, one of the main tasks is to convey this message
>>
>> to the heart of society. The IMU should make the most of this
>>
>> opportunity to emphasize the key role played by mathematics
>>
>> across the board in science and technology.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> A General
>>
>> Assembly such as the one to be held in Paris is not only a
>>
>> constituent assembly, but also the presentation to the world
>>
>> of a Scientific Council that, for the first time in history,
>>
>> includes almost all sciences. It is also a magnificent
>>
>> opportunity for attracting considerable media attention. We at
>>
>> the ISC are fully aware of this opportunity and it will be
>>
>> reflected in the programme. To that end, the event will take
>>
>> place at a very special venue, the Oceanography Institute
>>
>> *Maison des Océans* <https://www.maisondesoceans.org/> in the centre of
>>
>> Paris, a historic monument opened by Prince Albert I of Monaco
>>
>> in 1911. The ISC encourages all the national members, unions
>>
>> and associates to attend this General Assembly, which will
>>
>> undoubtedly constitute a historical milestone.

>>
>>
>> Robert P.
>>
>> Langlands of the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, USA,
>>
>> “for his visionary program connecting representation theory to

>> mathematical fields led to a project named the *Langlands program*.
>>
>> The program has enlisted hundreds of the world’s best
>>
>> mathematicians over the last fifty years. No other project in

>> modern mathematics has as wide a scope, has produced so many
>>
>> deep results, and has so many people working on it. Its depth

>> *MSC 2020: REVISION OF MATHEMATICS SUBJECT CLASSIFICATION *
>>
>>
>> Mathematical
>>
>> Reviews (MR) and zbMATH cooperate in maintaining the Mathematics Subject
>> Classification (MSC) <https://msc2020.org/>, which is used
>>
>> by these reviewing services, publishers, and others to
>>
>> categorize items in the mathematical sciences literature. They have
>>
>> initiated the process of revising the current MSC2010 with an
>>
>> expectation that the revision will be used beginning in 2020.
>>
>>
>> No changes are planned at the two-digit level; however, it is
>>
>> anticipated that there will be refinement of the three- and
>>
>> five-digit levels.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> At this point,
>>
>> zbMATH and MR welcome additional community input into the
>>
>> process. Comments should be submitted through the Web by
>>
>> creating an account at https://msc2020.org/# <https://msc2020.org/> .
