Communiqué de Presse du 31 octobre 2020

Les responsables de sociétés savantes signataires condamnent fermement le contenu des trois amendements 147, 150 et 234 adoptés en séance de nuit le 29 octobre au Sénat, avec le soutien du gouvernement.

Ces amendements déposés à la dernière minute modifient profondément les procédures de recrutement des enseignant.e.s-chercheurs et restreignent les libertés académiques et scientifiques.

University Lectureships in Pure Mathematics

Two University Lectureships in Pure Mathematics have just been in advertised here in Cambridge, to be held in DPMMS.

This is a permanent post (lying somewhere between the positions “Assistant Professor” and “Associate Professor” of the US system).

For more information, click here.

The deadline to apply is the 1st of December 2017.

Note also the fixed term Herchel Smith Research Fellowship in Pure Mathematics (3 years), for more information click here.

On the coming week Ariane Trescases and I organise a small workshop on kinetic theory, all the informations here.

 

Analysis of Functions (Part II D-course)

The Scottish Book

The analysis of functions has its roots in the rigorous study of the equations of mathematical physics, and is now a key part of modern mathematics. This course builds on the Part II courses Linear Analysis and Probability & Measure, applying the theory of integration and the tools of functional analysis to explore such topics as Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces, the Fourier transform and the generalised derivative. These topics are important and interesting in themselves, but the emphasis is on their use in other areas of mathematics (for instance in the representation of functions and in partial differential equations), rather than their maximal generalisation. You can get an idea of the flavour of the course by browsing the Analysis by Lieb & Loss (Springer).

Prerequisites: A good understanding of the methods and results in the IB courses Linear Algebra, Analysis II and Metric and Topological Spaces is essential. Part II Linear Analysis and integration theory from Part II Probability and Measure are essential.

The death of Giulio Regeni – the delivery of a letter calling for an independent investigation to the Egyptian Embassy in London.

The brutal death in Cairo in January 2016 of Giulio Regeni, an Italian doctoral student at Cambridge University, prompted an international letter calling for an independent enquiry that quickly gained 4600 signatures. This was formally delivered to the Egyptian Embassy in London on 22 March. The Deputy Chief of Mission, Mr Hassan Shawky, received the letter and discussed the request with a group of eight teachers and researchers from Cambridge and London universities who reflected a cross-section of the signatories.

Conference “Mathematical Topics in Kinetic Theory”, May 9 – 13, 2016 in Cambridge
