Overview
The story is an engaging one for anyone involved in mathematics, as the aftermaths of the First and Second World Wars and the repercussions of the Cold War are inseparably entangled with the history of the IMU.
This is the official history of the IMU, undertaken at the express wish of the Unions Executive Committee.
Based on official documents and minutes of the Union.
