Acknowledgments

This article is based on a talk presented at the 12th International Conference on Mathematics and Mathematics Education in Developing Countries (ICMMEDC), Vientiane, Laos, November 1–3, 2019. I was encouraged by Graeme Fairweather and some other participants to publish it. I would like to thank him for carefully reading and helping me to edit the article. Neal Koblitz also gave me useful comments. I have met Neal many times and discussed with him aspects of the development of mathematics in Vietnam.

Tạ Duy Phượng sent me several references, and Hoàng Xuân Sính sent me a copy of the photo with Grothendieck. I also would like to thank the referee for careful reading and suggestions for further improvement.

Publisher's Note

Springer Nature remains neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations.

This column is a forum for discussion of mathematical communities throughout the world, and through all time. Our definition of “mathematical community” is the broadest: “schools” of mathematics, circles of correspondence, mathematical societies, student organizations, extra-curricular educational activities (math camps, math museums, math clubs), and more. What we say about the communities is just as unrestricted. We welcome contributions from mathematicians of all kinds and in all places, and also from scientists, historians, anthropologists, and others.
