		This has been a memorable Congress, and we all recognize the very large number of people whose work has contributed to its outstanding success, those who served on the various international committees, the speakers for the many inspiring lectures, and above all the local organizers from Ma Zhiming through to the splendid student volunteers.
		Despite his great age he was instrumental in ensuring the strong backing of the Chinese government for the Congress, and in his speech at the Opening Ceremony, and at other occasions during the Congress, he demonstrated the wisdom, warmth and dignity which are his hallmark.

	Terence Tao, 'Mozart of Math,' wins Fields Medal, called 'Nobel Prize in math'
		Terence Tao became the first mathematics professor in UCLA history to be awarded the prestigious Fields Medal, often described as the "Nobel Prize in mathematics," during the opening ceremony of the International Congress of Mathematicians in Madrid on Aug. 22.
		Speaking of this work, Tao said, "Other mathematicians gave the impression that the puzzle required so much effort that it was not worth making the attempt, that first you have to understand this 100-page paper and that 100-page paper before even starting.
		"Mathematicians often work on pure problems that do not have any applications for 20 years, and then a physicist or computer scientist or engineer has a real-life problem that requires the solution of a mathematical problem and finds that someone already solved it 20 years ago," Tao said.

	John Charles Fields Summary
		It was formally announced at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Zurich in 1932 with the first medals being awarded in Norway at the Oslo Congress in 1936.
		First awarded in 1936, the medal has be awarded since 1950 every four years at the International Congress of Mathematicians to two to four recipients under the age of 40.
		His efforts, however, were pivotal in ensuring Toronto be the location of the 1924 International Congress of Mathematicians.

	Swiss Mathematical Society
		The proposal had been made in 1883 (on the centenary of Euler's death) by Ferdinand Rudio, who was at that time a lecturer in mathematics at the Eidgenössisches Polytechnikum (later called the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule) in Zurich, and repeated by him at the Congress fourteen years later.
		After the "Euler Commission" was set up, led by Rudio, it was found by those involved that they were hampered in their work by the lack of a national Swiss Mathematical Society.
		Since Rudolf Fueter, H Fehr, and Marcel Grossmann were three of the main initiators of the idea of the Society, it was fitting that these three should become the first three Presidents of the Society.
