Introduction:
This International Colloquium and Exhibit -Ibn el-Haitham Days-  initiated and organized by the Mathematical Department of Mathematics in collaboration with Sirius, aims at celebrating the IYL-2015 in Eastern Algeria. Lecturers from various Algerian universities and from abroad will give some 8 talks about light, its history, and its various applications.
The exhibit accompagnying th colloquium will focus on light and is made of 50 large panels describing the various aspects of light: the physics of light, light in the Lab, light in daily life, and light in the cosmos. The "Caravan of Light from CDTA, Setif with its 40 experiments in optics will participate to the exhibit as well as the Research Center in Astronomy & Astrophysics (CRAAG, the former Algiers Observatory). It will also include a series of experiments related to optics that will be staffed by students of the physics department. School groups from all over the region will be visiting the exhibit during the two days as arrangements have been made with the Educational Directorate of the Constantine Prefectorate.
