NO. 1183, VOL. 46] 



EXHIBITION AT NURNBERG BY THE 

 GERMAN MATHEMATICAL ASSOCIATION. 



'"PHE following prospectus will show the scope and 

 ■*■ object of this Exhibition : — 



Deutsche Mathematiker- Vtreinigung. 



Mimchen, Mai 1892. 



From September 12 to 18, 1892, the meetings of the 

 "Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung " and of the " Gesell- 

 schaft deutscher JMalurforscher und Aerzte" will be held at 

 Niiruberg. 



At the proposition of the "Mathematiker-Vereinigung" the 

 arrangement for an exhibition of models, drawings, apparatus, 

 and instruments used in pure and applied mathematics is pro- 

 posed. The project has secured the support of the Royal 

 Bavarian Government. 



The undertaking already enjoys the co-operation of a number 

 of competent men of science, of several mathematical institutes 

 of our colleges, besides that of various prominent publishers and 

 well-known technical establishments, and thus we may hope 

 that the exhibition will answer the expectations of its founders, 

 vii-« : 



To open to wider spheres the various auxiliaries used in the 

 instruction and investigation of both pure and applied mathe- 

 matics in the shape ot models, apparatus, and instruments and 

 to forward the interests of this kind of scientific work. 



At the request of the committee of the Mathematiker- 

 Vereinigung 1 have the honour to invite you to participate in 

 the exhibition, and to recommend to your special attention 

 the following directions : — 



I. Die mathematische Ausstellung gelegentlich der Ver- 

 sammlungen der " Deutschen Mathematiker-Vereinigung" und 

 der " Ge^ellschaft deutscher Naturforscher und Aerzte" in 

 Niirnberg will last from September 10 to 18, 1892, It com- 

 prises mathematical models, drawings, apparatus, and instru- 

 ments serving both for teaching and research in pure and 

 applied mathematics. ^ 



II. The local committee of the Gesellschaft deutscher Natur- 

 forscher und Aerzte lesp. the direction of the Bayerische 

 Gewerbemuseum attends to the gratuitous granting of space 

 required by the exhibitors. 



III. The Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung takes charge 

 of all furniture, tables, screens, &c., attends to the opening and 

 packing, also lor supervision and caie during the exhibition and 



1 In what belongs to the applications, we include only those having 

 principally a maiheuiatical interest. Concerning the experimental part of 

 physics and those instruments, &c., which are of more practical use, it 

 should be mentioned that all those more praciical than theoretical relations 

 will be displayed in a second exhibition, separate fiom ours, which com- 

 piises likewise the other branches of natural pliilo^ophy and the medicine. 



That exhibition, entitled '' Fachtechnische Ausstellung," under the 

 authority of the "Gesellschaft deutscher Naturforscher und Aerzte" is 

 arranged by the " Bayer.schen Gewerbemuseum in Niirnberg," under the 

 direction of Mr. Th. von Kramer, who has issued special programmes for 

 that exhibition, and from whom further information may be obtained.
