The International Congress of Chinese Mathematicians
(ICCM) is a triennial congress hosted by institutions in Mainland
China,
Taiwan, and Hong Kong in a rotating basis. The previous two congresses
were
successfully held in Beijing (1998) and Taipei (2001) with around 500
participants from all over the world. One of the highlights of the
Congresses
is the award of the Morningside Medals of Mathematics and the Chern
Prize.
Awardees are selected by a panel of international renowned
mathematicians with
the aim to encourage outstanding mathematicians of Chinese descent in
their
pursuit of mathematical truth.
The Third ICCM (ICCM2004) will be held in Hong Kong in December 2004.
There will be 25 plenary lectures and special sessions on topics in
Algebraic Geometry, Applied Analysis, Complex Geometry, Geometric
Analysis,
Number Theory and Automorphic Form, Mathematical Physics, Mathematical
Biology, Numerical Analysis, Probability and Statistics, Waves and
Hyperbolic PDE, Wavelets and Fractals, as well as Mathematics
Education.
Besides the invited lectures, there will also be contributed and poster
sessions. Morningside Medals of Mathematics and Chern Prize will be
awarded in the opening ceremony.
To make the congress a true worldwide gathering, all presentations will
be given in English.
Please note that the morning session
(Opening Ceremony) of 17 December 2004 is open to invited guests and
