E-mail information service of the
INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF MATHEMATICIANS
Berlin, Germany, August 18 - 27, 1998
33rd Circular Letter
Subject: ICM98-CL33: Acknowledgements, Donors, Proceedings,
Final Program, Exhibitors
Dear colleague:
The ICM'98 Organizing Committee appreciates the support of many
institutions, companies, and individuals; please find a few words
of thanks in the sequel. You can - from now on - retrieve the Final
Program electronically from the ICM'98 server, and you may want to
know which publishers, soft- and hardware companies will exhibit
at ICM'98, see 4. and 5. below. Finally, we have set the sales
price for the ICM'98 Proceedings and make a very SPECIAL OFFER
for ICM'98 members who, e.g., want to buy the proceedings for
their library or friends, see 3.
1. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:
Our program booklet will start with the following acknowledgement:
"ICM'98 is held under the aegis of Bundespraesident Roman
Herzog, the auspices of the International Mathematical Union,
and the sponsorship of the Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung."
This is a short and modest statement - compared to the amount of
assistance and backing the ICM'98 organizers received - and addresses
only the major sources of support. It is simply impossible to
describe in detail in how many ways we received help from political
representatives in Germany and from representatives of IMU and DMV.
Without their support, individual commitment, connections to national
and international authorities, ICM'98 would have been impossible.
I do not intend to list here all those indidividuals who served as
members of the IMU Program Committee, the Fields Medal Committee, and
the Rolf Nevanlinna Prize Committee, who served in the Local Scientific
Committee or in the Organizing Committee. The program booklet will
contain the names of many of these persons to whom we are deeply
indebted. Needless to say that the Mathematics Faculties of the Berlin
Universities (FU, HU, and TU) and the Mathematical Research Institutes
in Berlin (WIAS and ZIB) played major roles.
2. DONORS:
The Organizing Committee is also greatly indebted to all those who have
supported the congress either by monetary contributions, or by donating
goods and services. Without these generous donations it would have been
impossible to launch ICM'98. We would like to thank the following
sponsors cordially:

3. PROCEEDINGS
My announcement in the Circular Letter ICM'98-CL31 generated two
types of requests. Here is what we can do about these.
(a) SHIPPING:
Some ICM'98 participants are planning to spend a longer period in
Europe after attending ICM'98 and do not want to carry the heavy
books on their trip. We have contacted the Deutsche Post and several
transportation companies and found that the Deutsche Post provides
the cheapest offer. Please contact the conference office H 2036; we
will have a counter where you can deliver your proceedings, fill out
an address label, etc. Your two proceedings volumes will then be
shipped to your home address at a price of DM 20.
(b) PROCEEDINGS PRICES, ON-SITE SALE, SPECIAL OFFER:
Some ICM'98 participants would like to purchase further proceedings
volumes for their libraries or friends. Students (the proceedings
are not included in the students' registration fee) have also
asked for a special deal.
The SALES PRICE for the ICM'98 proceedings was set to
DM 228.--
for the 3 volume hardcover set (ca. 2400 pages), including
transportation to any place in the world.
However, at ICM'98 we will make the following SPECIAL OFFER
to all registered participants (including registered students,
of course). We will only charge
DM 140.--
for the 3 volume hardcover set (no more than 2 sets per registered
participant will be sold). Volumes II and III will be handed out to
the buyer at the time of purchase (they can be shipped as described
in (a) if desired). Volume I will be shipped, after production, to
the address the buyer specifies at purchase of the proceedings.
We believe that this is an excellent offer.
4. FINAL PROGRAM, PROGRAM BOOKLET:
The program booklet, including the Final Program of Plenary, Invited
Lectures, Short Communications and Poster Presentations is ready and in
print. It has almost 200 pages. Those who are interested in obtaining
the program booklet immediately can retrieve the postscript file of
the Final Program from the ICM'98 server as follows. Go to URL
http://elib.zib.de/ICM98/D/1
and click on "PostScript" or "gzip-compressed PostScript"
for the repsective file of the program booklet. You will also find
such links to these files if you klick on "scientific" on the title
page of the ICM server.
Alternatively the files may be retrieved by anonymous ftp to
elib.zib.de
Go to the subdirectory
pub/IMU/HTML/ICM98/D/1
In this subdirectory you will find the files
program.ps
program.ps.gz
These are the PostScript file and gzip-compressed PostScript
file of the program booklet.
5. LIST OF EXHIBITORS:
ICM'98 also provides a showroom for those who offer products related
to mathematics. In the main building of TU Berlin, there will be an
exhibition area where publishers, computer and software companies,
scientific societies and others will exhibit their products. Below
is the (current) list of exhibitors that you can find at ICM'98.
The exhibitors and the ICM'98 organizers hope that every ICM'98
participant will find at least some items of interest.
