E-mail information service of the INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF MATHEMATICIANS Berlin, Germany, August 18 - 27, 1998 Twentieth Circular Letter Subject: ICM98-CL20: ICM'98-VideoMath/Call for Videos Dear colleague: The International Congress of Mathematicians 1998 (ICM'98) will host "VideoMath", a festival of the most outstanding mathematical videos, to be publicly shown in a fullsized theater at ICM'98 in August 1998 in Berlin. VideoMath is part of the "cultural program" at ICM'98, and shall attract a broad audience: ICM attendees, students, teachers, and the proverbial man-in-the-street with an inclination towards mathematics. Performances are open to the public and will take place during the period of the conference. Entries for VideoMath are solicited from all areas of mathematical visualization and computer graphics. Submissions should meet the highest standards of mathematical content, visualization techniques, artistic design, and technical quality. An international program committee will select the best contributions for inclusion in the festival show. A PRIZE of DM 5000 will be awarded to recognize the most outstanding contribution. The deadline for submissions is April 3, 1998. Please, inform collegues at your department and motivate visualization experts to submit videos. A poster with a "Call for Videos" has recently been sent to many institutions world-wide. Detailed information about the festival and the submission process is available at http://www-sfb288.math.tu-berlin.de/VideoMath/ For inquiries and requests to poster and information material, please, send an e-mail to video-math@zib.de We thank you for your help.
