[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.
