European congress of mathematics (ECM), Budapest, Hungary, July 22--26, 1996. Volume I (Q1392303)

The articles of this volume will be reviewed individually. The preceding conference (1, 1992) has been reviewed (see Zbl 0807.00008 and 807.00007). The two volumes (see Zbl 0893.00028 below) open with the speeches (a. o. by J.-P. Bourguignon, President of the European Mathematical Society and Gyula O. H. Katona), followed by a presentation of the Prize Winners, 40 contributions (Vols. I and II) and closes with reports from the 5 Round Tables held during the conference.
