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.

Mini-Workshop "Complex Analysis and applications", will be held on Monday and Tuesday, 27-28th of February at Faculty of Mathematics, room BIM (4th floor, Computing lab).
The working language of the Workshop is English.
The schedule is as follows:
MONDAY, 27.2, 12h, room BIM
1. Matti Vuorinen, University of Turku, Finland
"Quasihyperbolic geometry and quasiconformal maps"
Abstract: This talk is a survey of my recent work with my coauthors during the past year. The talk is divided into four parts, each part based on a preprint. X. Zhang and G. Wang are PhD students at the University of Turku.
M. Vuorinen and G. Wang: Bisection of geodesic segments in hyperbolic geometry.
arXiv:1108.2948v2 [math. MG]
2. Miodrag Mateljević, Vladimir Božin, Miljan Knežević, Faculty of Mathematics, University of Belgrade
"Quasiconformality of harmonic mappings between smooth Jordan domains"
Abstract: Suppose that $h$ is a harmonic mapping of the unit disc onto a $displaystyle C^{1,,alpha}$ domain $D$. Then $h$ is q.c. if and only if it is bi-Lipschitz. In particular, we consider sufficient and necessary conditions in terms of boundary function that $h$ is q.c. We give a review of recent related results including the case if domain is the upper half plane. We also consider harmonic mapping with respect to $
ho$ metric on codomain.

1. Stamatis Pouliasis, Aristotle University, Thessaloniki, Greece
"Versions of Schwarz`s lemma for condenser capacity and inner radius"
Abstract: We will consider variants of the classical Schwarz`s lemma involving monotonicity properties of condenser capacity and inner radius. Also, we will examine when a similar monotonicity property holds for the hyperbolic metric. This is joint work with D. Betsakos.
2. Iason Efraimidis, Aristotle University, Thessaloniki, Greece
"Variations of Schwarz lemma"
Abstract: Suppose that f maps the unit disc D holomorphically into D and f(0)=0. A classical inequality due to Littlewood generalizes Schwarz’s lemma and asserts that every w in f(D) has modulus less or equal to the product of the modulus of its pre-images. We present a similar inequality proved by D.Betsakos, in which the assumption of f(D) being a subset of D is replaced by the weaker assumption Diamf(D)=2. The main tools in the proof are Green’s function and Steiner symmetrization.

"Boundary modulus of continuity and quasiconformal mappings"
Abstract :Let $D$ be a bounded domain in $mathbb R^n$, $n geq 2$, and
let $f$ be a continuous mapping of $overline D$ into $mathbb R^n$ which
is quasiconformal in $D$. Suppose that $|f(x) - f(y)| leq omega(|x-y|)$
for all $x$ and $y$ in $partial D$, where $omega$ is a non-negative
non-decreasing function satisfying $omega(2t) leq 2omega(t)$ for
$t geq 0$. We prove, with an additional growth condition on $omega$, that
$|f(x) - f(y)| leq C max {omega(|x-y|), |x-y|^alpha }$ for all $x, y
in D$, where $alpha =K_I(f)^{1/(1-n)}$. The talk is based on [AMN].
