Recréations mathématiques pour mathématiciens en culottes courtes (School children play with and display mathematics)
Under the guidance of their teachers and of a professional mathematician based at the Palais de la Découverte, one of the two science museums in Paris, school children from two classes in a primary school of Chilly-Mazarin (Essonne, France) will play at making toy models of mathematical puzzles. These puzzles will later be proposed to the imagination of artists who will be asked to turn them into attractive sculptures to be placed in the city park for public display and enjoyment.
The whole operation has been conceived and will by supervised by Max Leguem, head of the Centre Culturel of the city of Chilly-Mazarin.

Brochure for schools with ideas and suggestions concerning the WMY 2000
Many teachers wish to participate in the WMY 2000. They want to bring the idea of the WMY 2000 to their own school or to the general public. But how can that be done? A small brochure of the Fachhochschule Stuttgart -Hochschule für Technik (University of applied sciences) gives at least some answers to this question. It contains several ideas, how schools can participate in the WMY2000.

* UKRAINE
Dynamical Systems and Ergodic Theory
Kiev Institute of Mathematics and Kharkov Institute for Low Temperature Physics and Engineering of the Ukrainian National Academy of Sciences together with Institut de Mathematiques de Luminy and Universite de Tours, France organize a conference on Dynamical Systems and Ergodic Theory. In 60's and 70's, Katsiveli was the place where regular Summer Schools and various conferences took place under the aegis of the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. The planned conference is an attempt to revive this tradition.
August 21-30,2000, Katsiveli, Crimea (Ukraine)

Posters in the London Underground
During World Mathematical Year 2000, a sequence of posters designed at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences will be displayed month by month in the trains of the London Underground. We hope that these will stimulate, fascinate - even infuriate! But most importantly that they will bring maths to life, illustrating the wide applications of modern mathematics in all branches of science - physical, biological, technological and financial. As each poster appears it will also be added to our Website, together with explanatory notes.
