Circular letter #12
Subject: ICM2002-CL12: First Announcement for the ICM2002
Date: September 5, 2001
Dear Colleague:
There has been a long tradition that the organizers of an International
Congress of Mathematicians send out a First Announcement to as
many mathematicians as possible about one year before the Congress.
We are following this tradition.
The main aim of the First Announcement is to collect the addresses
of those mathematicians who are seriously interested in participating
in ICM2002 and intend to obtain the Second Announcement for more
details about ICM2002. Those who have submitted the request form
and have an e-mail address will also receive circular letters from the
ICM2002 e-mail service.
IMPORTANT:
==========
Those (and Only Those) who have submitted the request form for the
Second Announcement will receive a printed copy of the Second
Announcement in January 2002.
FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE:
======================
If you have pre-registered for ICM2002 before (this is the case if you
obtained the present circular letter from the ICM2002 E-Mail Server)
you will automatically be entitled to receiving a copy of the Second
Announcement. You will receive, in two weeks from now, an email
containing your contact information. This way you can check the data
we have in our database and correct it if necessary. If you have not
received the email by September 19, 2001 something has gone wrong
and you are advised to follow the procedure described in the First
Announcement as follows.
Sincerely Yours
Zhi-ming Ma
Chairman of the
ICM2002 Organizing Committee

First Announcement
______________________________________________________________
The Organizing Committee is pleased to announce that the next
International Congress of Mathematicians will take place in Beijing,
China, from Tuesday, August 20, through Wednesday, August 28, 2002.
It will be held under the auspices of the International Mathematical
Union (IMU) and sponsored by many other institutions.
______________________________________________________________
Scientific Program
______________________________________________________________
Responsibility for the scientific program lies with the Program Committee
appointed by IMU. There will be about 20 one-hour Plenary Lectures
covering recent developments in the major areas of mathematics and 169
forty-five-minute Invited Lectures in 19 sections. In addition, there will
be two groups of panel discussions in Section 18. The sections are as
follows:
1. Logic
2. Algebra
3. Number Theory
4. Differential Geometry
5. Topology
6. Algebraic and Complex Geometry
7. Lie Groups and Representation Theory
8. Real and Complex Analysis
9. Operator Algebras and Functional Analysis
10. Probability and Statistics
11. Partial Differential Equations
12. Ordinary Differential Equations and Dynamical Systems
13. Mathematical Physics
14. Combinatorics
15. Mathematical Aspects of Computer Science
16. Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing
17. Applications of Mathematics in the Sciences
18. Mathematics Education and Popularization of Mathematics
19. History of Mathematics
Every registered participant (traditionally called Ordinary Member) of the
Congress will have the opportunity to give a short presentation, either
during a poster session or in the form of a fifteen-minute lecture. A
formal call for such presentations will be issued in the Second
Announcement. Informal mathematical seminars may be organized
at the initiative of groups of participants. English, French, German,
and Russian are the official languages of the Congress.
All Plenary and Invited Lectures will be published in the Proceedings of
ICM2002; after the Congress, a complimentary copy of these Proceedings
will be sent to each registered participant. Abstracts of all lectures
and of all short presentations will be distributed free of charge to
registered participant at Congress check-in.
The Fields Medals and the Nevanlinna Prize will be awarded during the
Opening Ceremony on the first day of the Congress. This will take place in
the Great Hall of the People. All other scientific events will be held at
Beijing International Convention Center (BICC). No scientific activities
are scheduled for Sunday, August 25.
In an effort to reach out to a wider audience, the ICM2002 organizers have
initiated several cultural activities related to mathematics that are
attractive to the general public.
______________________________________________________________
Social Events
______________________________________________________________
During the Congress, a number of guided tours of Beijing, visits to
museums, and walking tours will be offered. On Sunday, August 25,
excursions to several places of cultural interest will be arranged. For
that evening, a Beijing opera will be available at the Chang'an Theater.
Registered participants and the accompanying persons may purchase
tickets in advance for these events as well as for many day trips and
pre- or post-congress tours to places of interest.
