Third Symposium on General Topology

and its Relations to Modern Analysis and Algebra

was held on August 30 – September 3, 1971 in Prague, Czech Republic. It was organized by the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences with support of the International Mathematical Union and in cooperation with the Slovak Academy of Sciences, the Charles University and the Association of Czechoslovak Mathematicians and Physicists.

Organizing committee

The Symposium was attended by 158 mathematicians from 18 countries, including 51 from Czechoslovakia. The program included one hour lectures and twenty minutes communications covering the latest trends in topology; 22 invited lectures have been presented. The Symposium was closed by a speech of K. Kuratowski at a plenary session on September 3.

Most of the communications presented at the Symposium as well as a few submitted in writing only appeared in General Topology and its Relations to Modern Analysis and algebra, Proceedings of the Third Prague Topological Symposium 1971 (Academia Prague, 1972).
