The First Interdisciplinary Conference of the International Society for the Arts, Mathematics, and Architecture, ISAMA 99, will be held in San Sebastian, Spain, 7-11 June 1999.
The main purpose of ISAMA 99 is to bring together persons interested in relating mathematics with the arts and architecture. This includes teachers, architects, artists, mathematicians, scientists and engineers. As in previous conferences, the objective is to share information and discuss common interests. The conference will focus on the following fields related to mathematics: Architecture, computer design and fabrication in the arts and architecture, geometric art and origami, music, scuplture and tessellations and tilings. These fields include graphics interaction, CAD systems, algorithms, fractals and graphics within mathematical software (Maple, Derive, Mathematica, etc.). There will also be associated teacher workshops.
Abstracts of papers should be submitted to the conference secretariat by 15 December 1998.

The 9th International Conference on the Teaching of Mathematical Modelling and Applications, ICTMA 9, will be held in Lisbon, Portugal, 30 July - 3 August 1999. The aim of this conference is to provide a forum for the presenttion and exchange of information, experiences, opinions and ideas relating to the teaching, learning and assessment of mathematcal modelling, mathematical models and applications of mathematics. People engaged in research or practice in these topics at secondary and higher levels of education are invited to participate, present papers or conduct workshops. There will also be provision for those who would like to make a poster presentation of work in progress or of smaller scope than would warrant a full paper or workshop.

The International Synposium on Elementary Mathematics Teaching - SEMT 99 - will be held at the Faculty of Education of the Charles University, Prague, the Czech Republic, 22-27 Agust 1999. The programme will be focused on the teaching of mathematics to children within the age range 6-11 years. More specifically, the theme of the present conference is "How the world of mathematics emerges from everday experiences of children".
The syposium will consists of plenary sessions, workshops, presentation of papers, working groups, discussion groups and poster presentations. Workshops will be organised across three sessions.
Abstracts of submitted papers should be with the Programme Committee no later than 1 February 1999.
