The third congress after World War I was held in Bologna, Italy, which shows that mathematicians hope that the mathematics congress will be dominated by science rather than politics.
Although D. Hilbert was in poor health, he led more than 60 German mathematicians to the grand meeting. He was very happy to tell the participants: "After a long and difficult period, representatives of all mathematicians in the world meet again. For the prosperity of this science we love, it should be so and it must be so. " "Mathematics is not racial ... For mathematics, the whole civilized world constitutes the same country."

Ahlfors, honorary chairman of this conference and winner of the first Fields Prize, personally presented the Fields Prize and Xiaolan Shen Prize to the above four people.
One of the characteristics of this conference is to put more emphasis on computer science.
Many mathematicians attending this conference, especially American mathematicians, have thought a lot about the future. R Johnson, acting scientific adviser to US President Ronald Reagan, urged mathematicians to focus on mathematics education. Friedman expressed his feelings of winning the Fields Prize. He said: "It is my bounden duty to water the tree of mathematics to make it evergreen ... The most fundamental thing is to find ways to change the social orientation and make children like mathematics from primary school, instead of treating it as a fear. Time: 1990

The winner of the Naiwanglinna Prize is A. Lassborov (Soviet mathematician), who attaches great importance to the theory of computational complexity.
We have achieved good results, especially in the complexity of monotone Boolean functions.
This conference was deeply impressed by its superiority related to physics more or less in research. A trend illustrates this point well. The work of three of the four Fields Prize winners, F.R.J Vaughan, E.Witten and V.Derifield, is closely related to physics. This phenomenon is not unexpected, but it can't inspire and reflect on the position and function of mathematics. The close relationship between physics and mathematics is as old as these two sciences. In this respect, people only need to think of Archimedes or G Galileo, what they call "nature is described in mathematical language", or I Newton, or later J.H. Poincare. In addition, a careful analysis of the meeting results reveals the persistence of these topics and the continuity of the most basic research.
The relevant authorities in Japan, the host country, indicated that they would issue commemorative stamps for this meeting. Time: 1994
