First Sentence

In view of the diversity of the contributions sent before the two round tables, Mathematics and the General Public of the first European Congress of Mathematics, it appears that the relationships between mathematics, its developments, the working methods of researchers and the popularization of knowledge constitute a whole set of questions that has more to do with the world of mathematicians than is often thought, and on a more international basis as well.
