[RUME] International Directory of Mathematics Educators

[Alan Rogerson]

Dear friends,

Professor Peter Gates at Nottingham University created and maintained 
for many years the International Directory of Mathematics Educators to 
help mathematics educators keep in touch world wide and for them to know 
who was working in various countries. The Directory consists of one Main 
File, containing all individual names in alphabetical order, and also 
files listing  individuals country by country.  The Directory has now 
moved to a new home http://www.DirectoryMathsEd.net/  where it will be 
maintained and updated in future by Alan Rogerson

How do names get on the Directory? In general names are not solicited or 
nominated. Every entry is made only by the individual concerned, and on 
a voluntary basis. The Directory is OPEN in the sense there are no 
strict criteria or requirements for entry, other than an interest and/or 
involvement in research/innovation in the teaching and learning of 
mathematics.. So it is basically up to each individual to nominate 
themselves.

We warmly invite people who are not yet on the list to enter, and for 
those on the list to encourage their colleagues to join us, so the 
Directory can hopefully expand and serve a wider audience world-wide.  
Please suggest to your international contacts that they also send in 
their entries to me, whether or not their country is represented yet, we 
can easily add new countries.

If you would like to be included in The Directory please send me at  
alan at rogerson.pol.pl. your complete entry in standard format, and I will 
cut and paste it into the Directory so your entry will be "owned" by you.

The standard format in the Directory consists of the following items, 
all in one continuous line, separated by commas and spaces:

 surname or family name, given name(s), email address, postal 
address(es), telephone number(s) (and URL(s) if you wish)

Please follow this example in its formatting:

Gates, Peter, _peter.gates at nottingham.ac.uk_, Centre for the Study of 
Mathematics Education, School of Education, University of Nottingham, 
Jubilee Campus, Nottingham NG8 1BB, UK, (+44) (0) 115 951 4432, Fax: 
(+44) (0) 115 846 6600, 
http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/education/staff/pgates/htm

Notice that personal titles are not included.

If you are already on the list, would you be kind enough to verify that 
all your details are currently correct and your email addresses and URLs 
actually work, and if not could you send me your complete updated 
version formatted exactly as above? Many of the entries are quite old 
now and some of you might well have had several promotions since your 
entry  was added!

You may notice some minor inconsistencies in formatting on the Directory 
pages at present, especially extra line spaces. This is a small 
technical glitch caused by different default formats for different 
entries, and will be fixed later when the whole site is revamped.

Looking forward to getting more entries, and thanks to all of you for 
your patience and cooperation.

Vive Le Directoir! .... as they say,

Alan
