was held in August 19–25, 2001 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 Department of Mathematics of the Institute of Chemical Technology, the Department of Mathematics of the University of Economics, and the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of the Charles University.
