A distinguished guest, Professor Dr Howard Moskowitz visited Belgrade in March 2013. Prof. Moskowitz is well known as a founder of horizontal segmentation theory, known as the theory MindGenomics, and was awarded SigmaXi (a Nobel Prize for Marketing).
Prof. Moskowitz gave two lectures - the first lecture was directed to a wide audience in the SASA and the second one was for more mathematically oriented audience in the Department of Mathematics of the Mathematical Institute of SASA
Prof. Dr. Howard Moskowitz: "SERBIA 2015 - WHAT CAN GENOMICS TO MIND FOR SERBIA `S FUTURE "
Abstract: We introduce Mind Genomics, the experimental science of the everyday. The talk shows how Serbia as a nation can use this science three ways for economic benefit: 1) create optimal products, 2) type the world`s customers in terms of the desired aspects of medical experience, and 3) improve the teaching of mathematics.
Prof. Dr. Howard Moskowitz: "MIND GENOMICS: APPLYING TO UNDERSTAND AND MATHEMATICS OPTIMIZE THE SCIENCE OF THE EVERYDAY "
Abstract: We introduce Mind Genomics, the experimental science of the everyday. The talk shows how we can understand 1) the mental economics of food preferences, 2) the quantitative linkage of emotions to ideas, and 3) the creation of new ideas by Combining elements.

This year University of Belgrade improved its position in the Shangai list of the top 500 universities in the world.
Since 2003. the list presents the statistics of the top-ranked academic institutions. In the report for 2013. University of Belgrade is placed at the position between 301. and 400. places and this is a great improvement comparing to last year ranking between 401. and 500. places.
This year, the oldest Serbian University is ranked, for the first time, in one of the scientific fields - mathematics, and it`s between 101. and 150. place in the world..
This exceptional success is of great importance for the Serbian mathematics and especially for the Faculty of Mathematics.
Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) was performed on the basis of 6 indicators. The key point of this success and placement of mathematics among the top 150 is the percentage of the scientific papers that are published in the top 20% ranked magazines.
University of Belgrade got 93.4 points in this category in the field of mathematics, which places it among the top U.S. universities such as Princeton and Harvard, and the result is even better than Berkeley and Cambridge.

During March 2013 three lectures entitled “Java Today - Modern web technology” were held at the Faculty of Mathematics. These lectures were held in cooperation with the JavaWorld and they covered current Java technologies and Web applications enterprise development.
All interested parties, especially students, were invited to attend the lectures, which included lots of practical examples and to get to acknowledged with the different possibilities of Java languages, which are now quite important and beneficiary when searching for employment in the software industry.

The project "Commodore Serbia" was presented in March 2013. at the Faculty of Mathematics
The project was presented by Aleksandar Adzic, Faculty of Mathematics student.
Title of presentation: Commodore International/Commodore64
Content:
The whole concept of this presentation is familiar with all present technology is its strong use of the eighties had 20 century. The lecture was interactive, with direct Commodore64 programming on a microcomputer. In addition to the source code the most interesting programs were presented that were once very popular. The audio and video production of the microcomputer was also mentioned, as well as hardware and its limitations.
Some of the topics covered by this lecture are:
1. Getting Acknowledged with Commodore64
2. Basics of programming environment and programming language BASIC v.2 and implementation of the system Commodore64
3. Data storage and analogue media
4. The effects of "Programming on the fly" and its disadvantages.
5. Presentation of graphics and sound capabilities of computer Commodore64.

Dr. Zsolt Lavicza from the University of Cambridge gave a lecture entitled “Enhancing mathematics teaching and learning through a community-developed software: GeoGebra " at the Faculty of Mathematics on the 12th April 2013.
Contents:
GeoGebra (http://geogebra.org), a free, open-source, dynamic mathematics software, is rapidly gaining popularity in the teaching and learning of mathematics around the world. Currently, GeoGebra is used by approximately 20 million students and teachers, translated to 62 languages, used in 190 countries, and downloaded by approximately 500,000 users in each month,and clearly making an impact on mathematics education in most countries. This increased use compelled the establishment of the International GeoGebra Institute (IGI) that serves as a virtual organization to support local GeoGebra initiatives and institutes. There are already 143 institutes in 85 countries, which pursue training and support of teachers, develop teaching materials, and carry out research projects. In my talk, I will review examples of applications of GeoGebra at different levels of education from around the world. The capabilities of GeoGebra are now extended to other subject areas such as physics, chemistry, engineering etc. and will show some examples of development in these areas. In addition, I will outline our plans to work together with different countries to enhance mathematics and STEM (Science, Technolgy, Engineering, Mathematics) in their educational systems.
Short biography:
Dr Zsolt Lavicza, Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge
After receiving his degrees in mathematics and physics in Hungary, Zsolt began his postgraduate studies in applied mathematics. While teaching several mathematics courses at the University of Cincinnati he became interested in researching issues in the teaching and learning mathematics. In particular, he focused on investigating issues in relation to the use of technology in undergraduate mathematics education. Since then both at the University of Michigan and Cambridge, he has worked on several research projects examining technology and mathematics teaching in a variety of classroom environments. Currently, Zsolt is working as an Associate Lecturer in Mathematics Education at the University of Cambridge as well as he is coordinating the development of local GeoGebra Institutes and offering research support within the International GeoGebra Institute.

Presentation of the book "Théorème Vivant" by Cedric Villani was held on 29th April 2013. in the SASA Gallery in the frame of “May, the Month of Mathematics - M3", project.
More information about M3 events can be found on this page: http://m3.cpn.rs/ French Mathematician Cédric Villani (1973) is a modern hero of France.
As one of the most talented mathematicians today, Villani is involved in solving the most difficult problems in the areas of differential equations and mathematical physics. For his results in 2010 he was awarded with the Fields Medal, the greatest honor in mathematics, and this award is being delivered every four years. With the support of the French Institute, Villani is the first Fields medalist to visit Serbia. Prof. Villani’s book was published within the project "May, the Month of Mathematics - M3" held in organization of CPN and MI of SASA. The book raised a great interest among the French.
