List of International Congresses of Mathematicians Plenary and Invited Speakers

This is a list of International Congresses of Mathematicians Plenary and Invited Speakers.

Being invited to talk at an International Congress of Mathematicians has been called "the equivalent, in this community, of an induction to a hall of fame.

[2] At the 1954 Congress of Mathematicians in Amsterdam, Richard Brauer announced his program for the classification of finite simple groups.

[5] Alexander Grothendieck (pictured) in his plenary lecture at the 1958 Congress outlined his programme "to create arithmetic geometry via a (new) reformulation of algebraic geometry, seeking maximal generality.

"[6] At the 1962 Congress in Stockholm Kiyosi Itô (pictured) lectured on how to combine differential geometry and stochastic analysis, and this led to major advances in the 60s and 70s.
