37. The Instituto de Matemáticas of the
National Autonomous University of
Mexico (UNAM) is the oldest of its
kind in Latin America. In 2017 we
celebrate our 75th anniversary with
a conference that will cover a wide
range of today's mathematics and
hold top quality talks with insights
of some of the main trends in
mathematics in the years to come.
