✦ Synopsis
HM 20 MEETINGS 317 international institution, reflecting similar initiatives from neutral countries such as the Swedish journal Acta Mathematica--which deserves more study--and the Swiss L'Enseignement Mathdmatique. Brigaglia considered the parallelism between Guccia and Garcfa de Galdeano, and analyzed the transfer of mathematical ideas in those years. In this same context, Ivor Grattan-Guinness (Middlessex Polytechnic) considered European mathematical education in the 1900s and 1910s, the work of the International Commission for the Teaching of Mathematics and its publication, the above mentioned L'Enseignement Math~matique.
In this way, the Symposium offered a panorama of work in progress on the history of mathematical journals and the dtat de I'art on the subject of national mathematical communities. The informal exchanges between historians from different countries proved valuable for carrying on this line of research by extending the analysis to a greater number of mathematical journals from different countries, by promoting the study of national mathematical communities considered in its broadest sense, and by focusing attention on international comparisons among a greater number of countries.
