Edinburgh Mathematical Society : ウィキペディア英語版 | Edinburgh Mathematical Society The Edinburgh Mathematical Society is a mathematical society for academics in Scotland. ==History== The Society was founded in 1883 by a group of Edinburgh school teachers and academics, on the initiative of A. Y. Fraser and A. J. G. Barclay, teachers at George Watson's College, and Cargill Gilston Knott, the assistant of Peter Guthrie Tait, professor of physics at the University of Edinburgh.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Edinburgh Mathematical Society )〕 The first president, elected at first meeting on 2 February 1883, was J.S. Mackay, the head mathematics master at the Edinburgh Academy.〔 The Society was founded at a time when mathematics societies were being created around the world, but it was unusual in being founded by school teachers rather than university lecturers.〔 This was because, due to the very small number of mathematical academic positions in Scotland at the time, many skilled mathematics graduates chose to become schoolteachers instead. The fifty five founding members contained teachers, ministers and students, as well as a number of academics from the University of Cambridge.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Founder Members of Edinburgh Mathematical Society )〕 The proportion of teachers remained high compared to other mathematical societies, and by 1926 university members made up only one-third of the total members. However, the dominance of teachers in the numbers of the society declined towards the 1930s, and between 1930 and 1935 no papers were presented in the ''Proceedings'' by teachers.〔 This was due to an increase in the number of academic positions available and the new requirement for teachers to undergo an additional year of vocational training.〔 The Edinburgh Mathematical Society is now mainly for academics.〔
