International Congress of Mathematicians, Hyderabad, India
The ICM is one of the largest congresses specifically aimed at the mathematics community. It is held once every four years under the auspices of the International Mathematical Union (IMU).
The congress is structured so that plenary and section invited lectures are the main activity, with sections being held in seven or eight parallel sessions. These will be divided into 20 areas:
- logic and foundations,
- algebra,
- number theory,
- algebraic and complex geometry,
- geometry,
- topology
- lie theory and generalisations,
- analysis,
- functional analysis and applications,
- dynamical systems and ordinary differential equations,
- partial differential equations,
- mathematical physics,
- probability and statistics,
- combinatorics,
- mathematical aspects of computer science,
- numerical analysis and scientific computing,
- control theory and optimisation,
- mathematics in science and technology,
- mathematics education and popularization of mathematics,
- history of mathematics.
Organisers will be making an effort to avoid scheduling talks on closely connected themes that may fall in different sections.
The Fields Medals, the Nevanlinna Prize, and the Gauss Prize are awarded during the opening ceremony of the congress. In the 2010 ICM, a new prize also will be awarded, the Chern Medal Award.
The event will have paper-reading and poster sessions, as well as special events such as non-technical talks connected with promotion of mathematics and cultural programmes.For further information, please visit:
