Generally considered the most important of portuguese mathematicians, Nunes was throughout the year of his fifth centennial, the object of various celebrations in his country. The mathematics departements of the universities of Lisbon and Coimbra joined these commemorations by organizing a scientific conference under the title of " The work of Pedro Nunes of Alcacer do Sal" , borrowed from one of Nunes' most important books : Petri Nonni Salaciensis Opera. Pedro Nunes' interests and contributions ranged from geometry and algebra to theorical navigation, astronomy, instrument design, mechanical questions, cosmography and the theorical aspects of cartography. His life was a busy one, devided between his pressing duties as scientific tutor at the court, royal cosmographer, and teatcher at the university, and his own research and scientific publications. The talks presented in this conference could not, of course, cover all aspects of Nunes' scientific achievements, but we believe they add many new elements which will remain important for future historians of sixteenth century science and Pedro Nunes' works.
