The Ninth Prague Topological Symposium, International Conference on General Topology and its Relations to Modern Analysis and Algebra, August 19-25, 2001, was organized under the auspices of:
The organizers:
Toposym was partly sponsored by International Mathematical Union, by grants of organizers, by Czech Airlines, by Elsevier and by Conforg (A. Kotesovcová).
The Symposium was attended by 209 mathematicians from 35 countries.
The scientific program consisted of 41 lectures invited by the organizing committee, 103 oral contributions presented in four parallel sections, 14 posters and 9 enlarged abstracts.
Many contributions together with abstracts are published at Topology Atlas.
The conference took place on the campuses of the University of Economics (scientific program) and of the Prague Institute of Chemical Technology (accommodation and meals) in the southern part of Prague.
During the conference, several social and cultural events were organized: welcome and farewell rauts, a sightseeing tour in Prague, an organ concert in a church, guided tours in Prague for accompanying persons, and a whole day tour to a crystal glass factory at Nizbor, a classicist castle Kozel near Pilsen with a dinner in a country farm restaurant.
Countries in brackets were selected from addresses given by participants. Some names of countries are given in their shorter non-official form.
