Luke Hodgkin, 1938-2020: Son of Nobel laureate and radical historian who forged his own path as a mathematician and activist remembered:
Luke Hodgkin was born in Norfolk in 1938, the son of Dorothy Hodgkin – only the third woman to receive a Nobel Prize in Chemistry – and the pioneering Marxist historian of Africa Thomas Hodgkin. Both were committed socialists and internationalists, and he was taken, for example, at the age of 17 to the Congress of Black Writers and Artists in Paris, where the speakers included major figures in the movement for decolonisation such as Frantz Fanon and Aimé Césaire. After securing a scholarship to Eton College, which he hated, Dr Hodgkin studied mathematics at Balliol College, Oxford and went on to a doctorate in algebraic topology at St John’s College, Oxford (1964). He taught at the University of Algiers (1964-65) shortly after the country gained independence from France, and then at the new University of Warwick (1965-70). In 1970, Dr Hodgkin joined the department of mathematics at King’s College London for the best part of five decades, initially as senior lecturer and from 1971 as reader, until he eventually retired in 2017. His main research interests were in topology and applications of geometry to physics. Yet he was anything but a narrow specialist. His website ranged widely across science, art, poetry, music and even “mathematical rap songs”. He produced a celebrated overview titled A History of Mathematics: From Mesopotamia to Modernity (2005) and lectured to a broad public at Gresham College on “Money and Mathematics” (2011). He also had plans for a book called Mathematics, Money, Drugs and War designed to “demonstrate how mathematics, with its claim to exact results, has become a central instrument of control” used, for example, not only to design drones for military purposes but to “prove that their workings are effective – and in particular to deny the existence of civilian casualties”. Although this book was never completed, Dr Hodgkin found many other outlets for his political convictions, notably a commitment to refugee and Palestinian rights. He studied for a part-time master’s in human rights at Birkbeck, University of London (2009-11), volunteered at both the An-Najah National University in Nablus and legal advice centres in London, and made several visits to the “jungle” camp in Calais to offer support. He also worked with the non-governmental organisation Phone Credit for Refugees to help people stuck in camps in Greece and Lebanon. Dr Hodgkin died of cancer on 6 October and is survived by his wife, Jean Radford, and their two children, three children from an earlier marriage, seven grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

A new ad-hoc IMU Committee on Diversity:
Recently, there has been a considerable increase of attention devoted worldwide to the issues of diversity and inclusion. Many institutions and organizations have recognized the need to re-assess their relationship to the issues of diversity and inclusion.
In the past few years, there has been increased attention to diversity in the IMU.
This has been combined with an increased consideration of conflicts of interest and implicit biases. These changes have certainly improved the operations of the IMU. To build on this, the Executive Committee (EC) of the IMU has decided to create an ad hoc committee called the Committee on Diversity (CoD) that can offer us advice regarding diversity and inclusion.
The purpose of CoD is threefold:
1. Assess how the IMU has performed to date
2. Offer advice on how we can improve our performance
3. Offer advice on how our members (the Adhering Organizations) can improve their performance nationally.
CoD's final report will first be discussed by the EC. The EC will then make its recommendations to be discussed at the General Assembly in St Petersburg prior to the ICM 2022.
The work of the committee will be public, and the committee will be free to seek advice and engage in discussions wherever it finds suitable.
The chair of CoD is Robert Bryant (Duke University, US), and his email address for this is <chair@cod.mathunion.org>. Other members are Edy Tri Baskoro (Indonesia)
Sophie Dabo-Niang (France/Senegal)
Edray Goins (US)

Michael Harris à Tunis : La mathématique est-elle une discipline littéraire? :
A l'occasion de sa visite à Tunis pour la Conférence sur la Géométrie Arithmétique qui aura lieu en juin à Carthage, le Professeur Michael Harris (Columbia University) donnera un exposé pour grand public, La mathématique est-elle une discipline littéraire? mercredi 26 juin à 18h au Columbia Global Centers I Tunis. Il est bien connu que les mathématiciens ont du mal à parler de ce que nous faisons aux noninitiés. Le plus souvent, ces difficultés sont attribuées aux spécificités des langages de notre discipline. Michael Harris, Professeur de Mathématiques à Columbia University (http://www.math.columbia.edu/~harris/website/),va explorer une hypothèse que c'est justement à travers l'analyse des caractéristiques de ces langages que la communication sur les sens des mathématiques devient possible et son corollaire paradoxal que nos interlocuteurs idéaux sont des spécialistes littéraires plutôt que les autres mathématiciens.

EditFlow earns frequent kudos and is now in use at more than 65 journals. As an organization built by and for mathematicians, we want EditFlow to spread even further, especially now that Elsevier has purchased Editorial Manager (the EditFlow-like software used by Springer, Taylor & Francis, etc.). If you know of any journals with a possible interest in switching to EditFlow, please send them our way.
On the publications side, we're excited to have three new journals in addition to TJM. With library budgets under increasing pressure, it was a big decision for us to adopt and start new journals, but the way we see it, every page published by MSP is a page not published by one of the big commercial publishers. All four of our new journals are available free online in 2018 and by subscription starting in 2019:
If you'd like to contribute to MSP's mission to defend, expand and strengthen independent scientific publishing, one of the best things you can do is to make sure your institution's library subscribes to one or more of our journals.

At HLF all winners of the Fields Medal, the Abel Prize, the ACM A.M. Turing Award, the Nevanlinna Prize, and the ACM Prize in Computing are invited to attend. In addition, young and talented computer scientists and mathematicians are invited to apply for participation. The previous HLFs have been an exceptional
success. The HLF serves as a great platform for interaction between the masters in the fields of mathematics and computer science and young talents.
for the online application and further information. The IMU Adhering Organizations and national mathematical societies can nominate young researchers.
Nominated persons get “priority treatment”, but, since there may be too many nominations, they have no acceptance guarantee. During the nomination process you will be asked for an Org-ID, which is IMU38526 for the IMU. The deadline for application is February 9, 2018.
IMU asks its Adhering Organizations to distribute this information among their national mathematical communities, if possible through the newsletters of the national mathematical societies.
The HLF was initiated by the late German entrepreneur Klaus Tschira, and is supported by the Klaus Tschira Foundation, The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters, The Association for Computing Machinery, as well as The International Mathematical Union.
The Ramanujan Prize for young mathematicians from developing countries
The Ramanujan Prize for young mathematicians from developing countries has been awarded annually since 2005. The Prize is funded by the Department of Science and Technology of the Government of India (DST). It is administered jointly by the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), the International Mathematical Union (IMU), and the DST.
The Ramanujan Prize is usually awarded to one person, but may be shared equally among recipients who have contributed to the same body of work. The Prize is awarded annually to a researcher from a eveloping country who is less than 45 years of age on 31 December of the year of the award, and who has conducted outstanding research in a developing country.
The deadline for receipt of nominations is 1 February 2018. Nominations can only be made by using the online system. See https://e-ramanujan.ictp.it/nominator
