Notes



Parts of the papers are available on http://books.google.com. Participants were about 2300 from more than 70 countries. In his closing remarks, the Secretary General observes that a great part of grant funds for non-affluent countries comes from individual domestic donations, the majority of these from persons not participating in ICME 9 but wishing to support mathematics education.
One volume, format about 23 cm x 15 cm; xviii + 434 pages, with CD-Rom.
