Comments:
The Organising Committee has been extended and included Mathematics Institutes of the Universities of Debrecen and Miskolc. Its chairman was Gyula Maurer and members were Péter Kőrtesi (University of Miskolc), Tunde Kántor (University of Debrecen) and Katalin Munkácsy (Eőtvős University of Budapest).
This was the first HMTM conference which was fully international with participants from Austria, Hungary, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, UK, USA.
This conference took place a few weeks after Hungary joined the European Union, so its motto was: Mathematics - a common language for Europe for thousand years.
The Proceedings of the 3rd Conference on the History of Mathematics and Teaching of Mathematics were published as a special issue of the Octogon Mathematical Magazine.
