The current and prospective status of astronomical research in Ukraine is discussed. A brief history of astronomical research in Ukraine is presented and the system organizing scientific activity is described, including astronomy education,…
We use countable metric spaces to code Polish metric spaces and evaluate the complexity of some statements about these codes and of some relations that can be determined by the codes. Also, we propose a coding for continuous functions…
In this article we propose to give an account of the history of the Chilean collective of women mathematicians. We will begin by describing the context of the mathematical community in Chile and the process of forming the Collective,…
We construct the space of valuations on a quasi-Polish space in terms of the characterization of quasi-Polish spaces as spaces of ideals of a countable transitive relation. Our construction is closely related to domain theoretical work on…
The first half of the 20th century in the history of Russian mathematics is striking with a combination of dramaticism, sometimes a tragedy, and outstanding achievements. The paper is devoted to St. Petersburg-Leningrad Mathematical School.…
We analyse logic actions of Polish groups which arise in continuous logic. We extend the generalised model theory of H.Becker to the case of Polish G-spaces when G is an arbitrary Polish group.
In the article, we would like to take part in a discussion over the problem of ethnomathematics, which has been under way for several years. We would like to express our opinion, our ideas concerning this problem and suggest our point of…
Foreigners and "estrangeirados", an expression meaning "people going to a foreign country ["estrangeiro"] getting there further education", had a leading role in the development of Mathematical Statistics in Portugal. In what concerns…
We present and discuss a curated selection of recent literature related to the application of quantitative techniques, tools, and topics from mathematics and data science that have been used to analyze the mathematical sciences community.…
The Russian invasion of Ukraine damaged or compromised astronomical facilities and has prompted the displacement of researchers. A plan to restore Ukrainian astronomy, rooted in a deeper integration with the international community, is now…
Our first motivation was the question: can a countable structure have an automorphism group, which a free uncountable group? This is answered negatively in [Sh:744]. Lecturing in a conference in Rutgers, February 2001, I was asked whether I…
The eighteenth century saw a flourishing of scientific and philosophical thought throughout Scotland, known as the Scottish Enlightenment. The accomplishments of prominent male figures of this period have been well documented in all…
The second world war saw a major influx of mathematical talent into the areas of cryptanalysis and cryptography. This was particularly true at the UK's Government Codes and Cypher School (GCCS) at Bletchley Park. The success of introducing…
This is an overview of the life and works of Pavel Florensky, an important and singular figure of the period rightly described as the \emph{Silver Age of Russian mathematics}, with a substantial overlap with the \emph{Silver Age of Russian…
The paper presents the results of bibliometric analysis of publications that were co-written by authors affiliated with Ukrainian and Russian institutions in 2007-2016 according to Scopus. Results of the study show that Ukrainian and…
The multi-layered nature of societal developments poses a challenge in the teaching and learning of history of mathematics. As an attempt to tackle this challenge we experimented with the use of Knowledge-Maps. The focus of our interest…
Did the demise of the Soviet Union in 1991 influence the scientific performance of the researchers in Eastern European countries? Did this historical event affect international collaboration by researchers from the Eastern European…
This paper presents a brief account of some of the my early research interests. This historical account starts from my laurea thesis on Signal Theory and my master thesis on Computation Theory. It recalls some results in Combinatory Logic…
Modal probabilistic logics provide a framework for reasoning about probability in modal contexts, involving notions such as knowledge, belief, time, and action. In this paper, we study a particular family of these logics, extending the…
In this paper, our aim is to discuss the outcome of a ten-year experimental workshop activity carried out by the Center `matematita' (http://www.matematita.it/) with classes of pre-university students of any age. We analyse the potential…
