Euromath Support Center is taking part in the Euromath Project, a project of the European Mathematical Trust and to offer user support in all of Europe in relation to EUROMATH.

EUROMATH is a project to enhance research support for european mathematicians and to stimulate interchange among them by creating a research environment based on modern information technology. The project aims to produce both software and services.

Also the Euromath Bulletin is printed in frame of this project. The foremost aim of the Bulletin is to disseminate useful information to the European mathematical community on the use of computers in assisting mathematicians in various tasks. The Bulletin also informs regularly on developments in the Euromath Project.

The EUROMATH system is a homogeneous working environment adapted to the needs of the mathematician, based on a single data model. The system is designed to incorporate an editor capable of handling mathematical documents, accessing and creating mathematical databases, an electronic mail interface and computer algebra capability.

The EUROMATH system is built upon the WYSIWYG approach and the full SGML-compatibility of the Grif SGML structured editor (also EUROMATH editor) developed by Grif SA, St. Quentin.Additional functionality (also EUROMATH applications) has been developed by a number of partners. Organisations involved in the development of EUROMATH include:

• Fachinformationszentrum Karlsruhe (FIZ)
• Institut National de Researche en Informatique et en Automatique (INRIA), Grenoble
• EUROMATH Centre. Copenhagen (EmC)
• Instituto Engenharia de Systemas e Computadores (INESC) Lisbon

How to subscribe to EUROMATH

Any academic institute may subscribe to EUROMATH. Now subscribers receive:

• a copy of Euromath version 2 for SUN plaform

• a licence to run Euromath System on the network of the institute (up to 50 users)

• the option of obtaining favourable EUROMATH rates for online acces to the Zentralblatt database at STN (FIZ Karslruhe) - only for mathematical institute

• the Euromath Bulletin

The current subscription rate is 1500 ECU.

Hardware requirements for running Euromath System:

The Euromath System is UNIX and X-Window based. Currently it exists on a SUN4 running SunOS 4.1.x or Solaris 2.3 or later. For SunOS 4.1.x you need X11R6 or a commercial version of X that supports Type1 fonts. The version of OpenWindows with Solaris does work.

The Euromath system 1 was available also on the following platforms:

• SUN (SUNOS and Solaris),

• DEC (Ultrix),

• IBM (RSC),

• HP (UX)

Euromath needs:

• at least 16 MB main memory

• about 30 MB disk space

The Euromath Support Center has several tasks:

• to distribute the Euromath System

• to assist Euromath users to overcome initial difficulties in using the system

• to continue development of the Euromath System

• to prepare Euromath Bulletin
