Seventh Symposium on General Topology

and its Relations to Modern Analysis and Algebra

was held on August 19–23, 1991 in Prague, Czech Republic. It was organized by the Mathematical Institute of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences with support from the International Mathematical Union and in cooperation with the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of the Charles University, the Center for Theoretical Studies, the Faculty of Civil Engineering, the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and the Faculty of Nuclear Science and Physical Engineering of the Czech Technical University, the Faculty of Natural Sciences and the Pedagogical Faculty of the Masaryk University, the Mathematical Institute of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of the Comenius University, the Faculty of Natural Sciences of the Šafárik University, the Association of Czech Mathematicians and Physicists and the North Holland Publishing Company.

Organizing committee

The Symposium was attended by 228 mathematicians from 29 countries, including 29 from Czechoslovakia. The scientific programme was prepared by the program committee consisting of M. Hušek (chairman), J. Pelant and P. Simon. It consisted of 41 invited lectures and 121 contributed papers presented in four sections.

In connection with the symposium, the book Recent Progress in General Topology was published by North Holland. 20 invited speakers summarized there most important results of the last decade from their fields.
