The Twenty-First International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) was
held in Kyoto, Japan, from August 21 through 29, 1990, the first
congress that has taken place in the Eastern hemisphere. On this
occasion, Japanese historians of mathe- matics organized the
History of Mathematics Symposium which was held at the Sanjo
Conference Hall of the University of Tokyo on August 31 and
September 1, as one of the related conferences of the Congress. The
symposium was officially sponsored by the Executive Committee of
the ICM 90, the History of Science So- ciety of Japan, and the
International Commission on the History of Mathematics. The
Executive Committee consisted of Murata Tamotsu (Chairperson,
Momoyama Gakuin University), Sugiura Mitsuo (Vice-Chairperson,
Tsuda College), Sasaki Chikara (Secretary, The University of
Tokyo), Adachi Norio (Waseda University), Nagaoka Ryosuke (Tsuda
College until 1990, now Daito Bunka University), and Hirano Yoichi
(Treasurer, Tokai University). The symposium emphasized the
following three fields of study: (1) mathe- matical traditions in
the East, (2) the history of modern European mathematics, and (3)
interaction between mathematical research and the history of
mathemat- ics. These fields were chosen mainly because, first, the
symposium was related to the ICM, the most important congress of
working mathematicians, and, second, the Kyoto ICM was held in a
non-Western country for the first time. The sym- posium consisted
of the two Sessions: Session A for invited speakers and Session B
for short communications.
