was held on August 18–24, 1996 in Prague, Czech Republic. It was organized by the Mathematical Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences and the International Mathematical Union in cooperation with the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of the Charles University, the Department of Mathematics of the Institute of Chemical Technology and the Department of Mathematics of the University of Economics.
