Volume

v. 1 : sz ISBN 9783764354978

Description

This is the first volume of the procedings of the second European Congress of Mathematics. Volume I presents the speeches delivered at the Congress, the list of lectures, and short summaries of the achievements of the prize winners. Together with volume II it contains a collection of contributions by the invited lecturers. Finally, volume II also presents reports on some of the Round Table discussions. This two-volume set thus gives an overview of the state of the art in many fields of mathematics and is therefore of interest to every professional mathematician. Contributors: Vol. I: N. Alon, L. Ambrosio, K. Astala, R. Benedetti, Ch. Bessenrodt, F. Bethuel, P. Bjorstad, E. Bolthausen, J. Bricmont, A. Kupiainen, D. Burago, L. Caporaso, U. Dierkes, I. Dynnikov, L.H. Eliasson, W.T. Gowers, H. Hedenmalm, A. Huber, J. Kaczorowski, J. Kollar, D.O. Kramkov, A.N. Shiryaev, C. Lescop, R. Marz. Vol. II: J. Matousek, D. McDuff, A.S. Merkurjev, V. Milman, St. Muller, T. Nowicki, E. Olivieri, E. Scoppola, V.P. Platonov, J. Poeschel, L. Polterovich , L. Pyber, N. Simanyi, J.P. Solovej, A. Stipsicz, G. Tardos, J.-P. Tignol, A.P. Veselov, E. Zuazua
