The program consists of about 20 plenary one-hour lectures, about 160 invited 45-minute lectures held in 19 sections, and prize ceremonies, including the award of the Fields medals. Being invited to speak is a significant honor which indicates that the speaker\u0026#39;s recent work is held in very high regard by the mathematical community.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAdam\u0026#39;s talk is classified jointly in Section 8: Analysis and its Applications and Section 13: Combinatorics, and is a collaboration with his coauthors Daniel A. Spielman and Nikhil Srivastava.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIt is notable that this will be the fourth International Congress, and the third in a row, with at least one of the invited speakers affiliated with the Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization Program.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EMarcus, Spielman, and Srivastava recently solved the Kadison-Singer Problem, which has been open since 1959.
