Dear Members of the Bernoulli Society,
This is the first issue of Bernoulli News under our editorship. As you can see,
the Publications Committee and we have agreed to modernize the design of the
Newsletter of the Bernoulli Society in order to stress that the Bernoulli
Society is a vivid organization, whose area – mathematical statistics and
probability – is essential to many parts of life nowadays.
We hope that you will like the new design as much as we do. We would like to
take this opportunity for a very special “thank you” to Sérgio R. Vaz, (www.impa.br/~srvaz)
for the wonderful design of the cover and to Maria Eulália Vares for
making it possible for us to work with Sérgio Vaz.
When reading the newsletter you will also notice that we have introduced some
new content. Our idea is that Bernoulli News should not only be a place to
announce news about the Bernoulli Society and meetings related to it but also an
interesting small magazine discussing probability and mathematical statistics,
where our field is heading to and where it has come from. However, to make this
come true, we rely on you. Please send us your contributions, such as articles
about the history of our field, about current discussions from real world
applications or about whatever you regard as worthwhile for your scientific
colleagues in general.
To introduce ourselves: We are both postdoctoral researchers at the TU
(University of Technology) inMunich, Germany, and if you want to know more about
us, just have a look at our web pages –
www-m4.ma.tum.de/pers/fasen and
www-m4.ma.tum.de/pers/stelzer.
Please feel free to tell us what you like about Bernoulli News and what can be improved. We are very interested in your feedback.
Yours sincerely,
Vicky Fasen and Robert Stelzer
