Vietnamese Colleagues Translate AMS Mathematical Moments

Thanks to colleagues at the Institute of Mathematics (IM) in Hanoi, Vietnam, readers can enjoy—in Vietnamese—Mathematical Moments, the AMS series of posters and interviews about applications of mathematics in the world.

Dr. Hop Nguyen and contemporaries at IM generated 21 translations while AMS staff artists provided the graphic design. Recently, IM displayed posters of Mathematical Moments at their March event “Mathematics for Everyone.”

The Vietnamese translations and other Mathematical Moments in 15 languages—from Portuguese to Polish, Chinese to Czech—are available for free at https://www.ams.org/mathmoments.
