Congress of Mathematicians, ICM, are organized every four years. The first was held in Zurich in 1897 and was succeeded by: Paris - 1900, Heidelberg - 1904, Rome - 1908, Cambridge - 1912, Stockholm - 1916, Toronto - 1924, Bolonia - 1928, Zurich - 1932, Oslo - 1936, Harvard - 1950, Amsterdam - 1954, Edinburgh - 1958, Stockholm - 1962, Moscow - 1966, Nice - 1970, Vancouver - 1974, Helsinki - 1978. The ICM-82 held in Warsaw and 19th in succession, was postponed for one year and took place between August 16-24, 1983. These Congresses are now sponsored and supervised by the International Mathematical Union. "Already at the Zurich meeting in 1897 it was stated that the first objectives of the
Congress are to promote the personal relations between mathematicians from different countries and to give a survey of the state of our science. The rules of the congresses have, through the years, become firmer and since 1962 the IMU is formally responsible for the scientific content." (from the address of Lennart Carleson, the President of IMU, at the opening ceremony.) Those firmer rules mean that the scientific program of a
congress is decided upon by an international committee established by the IMU. The committee for the ICM-82 consisted of Jean-Pierre Serre, Paris, chairman; Michael Atiyah, Oxford; Bogdan Bojarski, Warsaw; William Browder, Princeton; Zbigniew Ciesielski, Sopot; Pierre Deligne, Paris; Ludvig Faddeev, Leningrad; Stanislaw Lojasiewicz, Cracow; and Shmuel Winograd, New York. After two years of preparatory work and consultations, involving hundreds of other leading mathematicians from all over the world, the committee produced a list of invited speakers. In its final form it contained 16 plenary speakers and 129 section speakers. There were 19 sections, covering a whole range of mathematical research. Topics varied from the foundations of mathematics, number theory, different aspects of algebra, geometry and analysis, probability theory, differential equations, through applied mathematics (mathematical physics, control theory, numerical mathematics, combinatorics and computer science) of history and education. The Proceedings contain the texts of the invited addresses and form, as a whole, a thorough and fairly complete survey of the present state of mathematical sciences. Out of the 145 invited lectures the book contains 12 plenary addresses and 123 section addresses which is over 93% of the maximum possible number. This unique two-volume publication is a highly valuable item for any mathematical research library and it is hoped that research mathematicians will enjoy having it on their book-shelves. One of the highlights of each
congress is the awarding of the Fields medals. The recipients of this most highly rated distinction in mathematics at the Warsaw
Congress were: Alain Connes, Paris; William Thurston, Princeton and Shing-Tung Yau, Princeton. Another outstanding event was the awarding for the first time, of the Nevanlinna prize in "Mathematicial Aspects of Information Science", whose recipient was Robert Tarjan, Stanford. The Proceedings contain reports on the work of each of the medallists. They also include a report on the opening and closing ceremonies, information about the organization of the
Congress and a list of the participants, containing about 2300 names from over 60 countries.
