This vividly illustrated history of the International Congress of Mathematicians- a meeting of mathematicians from around the world held roughly every four years- acts as a visual history of the 25 congresses held between 1897 and 2006, as well as a story of changes in the culture of mathematics over the past century. Because the congress is an int

This volume contains the proceedings of the First International Curriculum Conference sponsored by the Center for the Study of Mathematics Curriculum (CSMC). The CSMC is one of the National Science Foundation Centers for Learning and Teaching (Award No. ESI-0333879). The countries—China, Japan, Korea, and Singapore (in alphabetical order, which also happens to be the order of their populations)—have each been in the news because of their performance on international testsand/or their economic performance and potential. They also have centralized education ministries that create a single mathematics curriculum framework followed in the entire country. In all these countries, curricula are differentiated for students with different interests, usually around Grade 10 or 11. We think the reader will agree that the papers are of very high quality, befitting the standing of the individuals who were invited, but particularly notable for our international speakers because in three of these countries, English is not the speaker’s first language. Following each paper, we have included a short biography of the author(s), so that the reader can understand the perspective of the paper’s author.

The 6th International Conference on Computational and Information Sciences (ICCIS2014) will be held in NanChong, China. The 6th International Conference on Computational and Information Sciences (ICCIS2014)aims at bringing researchers in the areas of computational and information sciences to exchange new ideas and to explore new ground. The goal of the conference is to push the application of modern computing technologies to science, engineering, and information technologies.Following the success of ICCIS2004,ICCIS2010 and ICCIS2011,ICCIS2012,ICCIS2013,ICCIS2014 conference will consist of invited keynote presentations and contributed presentations of latest developments in computational and information sciences. The 2014 International Conference on Computational and Information Sciences (ICCIS 2014), now in its sixth run, has become one of the premier conferences in this dynamic and exciting field. The goal of ICCIS is to catalyze the communications among various communities in computational and information sciences. ICCIS provides a venue for the participants to share their recent research and development, to seek for collaboration resources and opportunities, and to build professional networks.

A thing is complex, and hybrid with other things sometimes. Then, what is the reality of a thing? The reality of a thing is its state of existed, exists, or will exist in the world, independent on the understanding of human beings, which implies that the reality holds on by human beings maybe local or gradual, not the reality of a thing. Hence, to hold on the reality of things is the main objective of science in the history of human development.
