Opening notes

Óbidos

Óbidos has the great pleasure and honor to host this so unusual exhibit wishing that this Country will always play prominent role in the decentralization and promotion of Culture.

My special tribute to the outstanding mathematicians and authors of this exhibit, that I will have the pleasure to welcome personally, stating by this way my utmost admiration to their creativity.

José António Pereira Júnior
Mayor of Óbidos

SPM

The Portuguese Mathematical Society (SPM), in the framework of the activities of the World Mathematical Year 2000, is honoured to associate itself with the exhibition of Mathematics and Digital Art "Beyond the Third Dimension". This initiative will certainly contribute to the improvement of the public visibility of Mathematics and to the diffusion of the relations between this science and the new technologies.

The SPM is grateful to the town of Óbidos for the welcome of this itinerant exhibit in its beginning, as well as the scientific meeting "The Practice of Mathematics in Portugal", that will take place during that exhibition at Óbidos.

Ana Bela Cruzeiro
President of the Portuguese Mathematical Society

Universidade da Madeira

Dimension is one of the basic concepts of mathematics. Mathematicians use it almost everyday and yet, for the public at large, it remains a big mystery. To be able to show, through an event like this one, what "exists" in dimensions bigger than 3, and that such things can be beautiful is a rare opportunity. It provides us with the opportunity of showing that mathematics is fun too. In fact, reputedly, mathematics is a difficult subject and not a very popular one in our schools. To change this state of things has not been easy but it is certain that attractive and beautiful exhibitions like this one will prove to be essential.

For the youngest public university in Portugal, during the World Mathematical Year, it was thus obvious that it should participate in this event, and bring to all the possibility of an extraordinary voyage Beyond The Third Dimsnsion.

CMAF / Universidade de Lisboa

The Centro de Matemática e Aplicações Fundamentais (CMAF), of the University of Lisbon, as a complement of its role of scientific research unit with a quarter of century lifetime, participates at the World Mathematical Year with an initiative in the popularization and communication of the mathematical sciences, the "Projecto Matemática em Acção"

In this framework, the CMAF promotes this exhibition of high visual quality with the colaboration and support of several entities, in particular, its authors, Professors T. Banchoff and D. Cervone, to whom expresses here its recognition. Among several objectives, this exhibition aims to stimulate the imagination and rouse the curiosity of young people and the general public, by showing the potential of new information technologies and computational geometry through a fascinating experience that relates mathematics, art and computer graphics.

On behalf of CMAF, it is our pleasure to thank the town of Obidos in the persons of its mayor Mr. José António Pereira Júnior, its Town Councillor responsable for the Culture, Tourism, Patrimony, Social Welfare and Sports, Mrs. Maria Helena Correia, and its Municipal Deputy, Mrs. Isabel de Noronha.
