The objectives of the International Mathematical Union ( IMU ) are to promote international cooperation in mathematics.

Developing countries are a high priority for the IMU and a significant percentage of their budget, including grants received from individuals, mathematical societies, foundations, and funding agencies, is spent on activities for developing countries.

The scientific prizes awarded by the IMU are deemed to be the highest distinctions in the mathematical world.

The Commission for Developing Countries supports research travel of mathematicians based in developing countries as well as mathematics research conferences in the developing world through its Grants Program which is open to mathematicians throughout the developing world, including countries that are not ( yet ) members of the IMU.

IMU also seeks applications from universities and mathematics degree programmes in the developing world that are in need of volunteer lecturers, and that can provide the necessary conditions for productive collaboration in the teaching of advanced mathematics.

For example, today's most advanced navigation systems are embodied within the Anti-ballistic missile, the RIM-161 Standard Missile 3 leverages GPS, IMU and ground segment data in the boost phase and relative position data for intercept targeting.

Starting with the 1954 congress in Amsterdam, the ICMs are held under the auspices of the IMU.

Gyrojet ammunition is of a smaller caliber than is likely to be produced as a rocket with a current technology IMU, considering the size of highly miniaturized IMU components that were available in 2007 < ref > At WayBackMachine select < nowiki ></ nowiki >, Omni Instruments, for November 2007 </ ref > and are now so small that accelerometers and gyros are included in iPads.

As Abdurahim Kakharov, a deputy interior minister of Tajikistan said in 2000 " terrorism, organized crime and the illegal drug trade are one interrelated problem .” The Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan ( IMU ), classified as a terrorist organization by the Clinton administration in 2000, is deeply involved with drug trafficking.

In 2009 IMU published the document ' Best Current Practices for Journals '.

At the 16th meeting of the IMU General Assembly in Bangalore, India in August 2010, Berlin was chosen as the location of the permanent office of the IMU, which was opened on January 1, 2011, and is hosted by the Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics ( WIAS ), an institute of the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Scientific Community, with about 120 scientists engaging in mathematical research applied to complex problems in industry and commerce.

This commission is organized similarly to IMU with its own Executive Committee and General Assembly.

Every four years the IMU membership gathers in a General Assembly ( GA ) which consists of delegates appointed by the Adhering Organizations, together with the members of the Executive Committee.

IMU supported the London Mathematical Society ( LMS ) in founding the MARM programme, which supports mathematics and its teaching in the countries of sub-Saharan Africa via a mentoring partnership between mathematicians in the United Kingdom and African colleagues, together with their students.

IMU also supports the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction ( ICMI ) with its programmes, exhibits and workshops in emerging countries, especially in Asia and Africa.

The only similarities the Lit C-1 shares with the Segway is an IMU.

This tutorial uses a LIS331AL 3 axis analog output accelerometer with a LPR550AL dual-axis pitch and roll to create a 5 degree-of-freedom ( DOF ) Inertial Measurement Unit ( IMU ) board:

In this application, the Inertial Measurement Unit ( IMU ) is equipped with three orthogonally mounted gyros to sense rotation about all axes in three-dimensional space.

Since then the IMU has reportedly opened training camps in Waziristan and is now involved with other groups attempting to overthrow the government of Pakistan.

Disillusioned with the political concessions made by the Tajik Islamists, Yuldeshev and Namangani formed the IMU in 1998 with the aim of creating a militant Islamic opposition to Karimov in Uzbekistan.

Irrespective of who was responsible, the result was an escalation in Karimov's suppression of Islam, particularly in the traditionally observant Fergana Valley – a move which only increased the number of those fleeing Uzbekistan to join up with Namangani and the IMU in the Tavildara Valley.

Later that year the IMU conducted its first verifiable operations, with an incursion into the Batken region of southern Kyrgyzstan – a region populated mainly by ethnic Uzbeks, and lying between Tavildara in Tajikistan and the Fergana Valley in Uzbekistan.

The IMU also provided the Taliban with a useful degree of deniability – under pressure from China to expel Uighur militants the Taliban simply sent them north to the IMU's camps.

By the summer of 2000 Western and CIS intelligence sources claim the IMU were equipped with more advanced weaponry such as sniper rifles and night-vision goggles, and had been supplied with a pair of heavy transport helicopters by Bin Laden.

In the spring the IMU again supplied the Taliban with 600 fighters for a renewed campaign against Massoud, while in Batken in Kyrgyzstan a number of sleepers armed the previous year executed a series of attacks.

Queensland Rail provides train serices on these lines with its rolling stock of electric railcars, which includes the Electric Multiple Units ( EMU ), the Suburban Multiple Units ( SMU ), the Interurban Multiple Units ( IMU ) and the InterCity Express ( ICE ).

IMU has twinning programmes with 30 partner medical schools ( as of 2011 ), from all over the world:

Although the IMU, whose power was at its peak in the late 1990s, claimed to fight against the region ’ s civil government in the name of the caliphate, it also appeared to be highly motivated by the drug trade.

The IMU ’ s deep involvement in the drug trade indicates that it may have focused more on criminal activities than political and religious aims.

The IMU is further tasked to have complete oversight of the reactive systems and processes in instances where there has been a compromise of the organisation ’ s integrity.

The IMU was established in 1920, but dissolved in September 1932 and then re-established 1950 de facto at the Constitutive Convention in New York, de jure on September 10, 1951 when ten countries had become members.

The Tajik government announced that it was seeking 23 suspected IMU members who Tajik authorities say attacked supporters of Tajik President Imomali Rakhmonov on 28 September 2006, wounding two people.

The IMU had alliances with the Taliban government and al-Qaeda in Afghanistan along with members of Tajik government from fighting together in the Tajik civil war.

The International Mathematical Union ( IMU ) is an international non-governmental organisation devoted to international cooperation in the field of mathematics across the world.

The International Commission for the History of Mathematics ( ICHM ) is operated jointly by the IMU and the Division of the History of Science ( DHS ) of the International Union for the History and Philosophy of Science ( IUHPS ).

Every two months IMU publishes an electronic newsletter, IMU-Net, that aims to improve communication between IMU and the worldwide mathematical community by reporting on decisions and recommendations of the Union, major international mathematical events and developments, and on other topics of general mathematical interest.

The prize was established in 1981 by the Executive Committee of the International Mathematical Union IMU and named to honour the Finnish mathematician Rolf Nevanlinna who had died a year earlier.

Rolf Nevanlinna served as President of the International Mathematical Union, IMU, in 1959 – 63 and as President of the International Congress of Mathematicians, ICM, in 1962.

The 2004 Tashkent bombings attributed to a group calling itself the Islamic Jihad Union may have been perpetrated by IMU operatives as well.

* The Chern Medal, of the International Mathematical Union ( IMU );

It meets once every four years, hosted by the International Mathematical Union ( IMU ).

At the 1950 ICM the participants voted to reconstitute the International Mathematical Union ( IMU ), which was formally established in 1951.
