However, comprehensive and continually updated meeting and program information with links to the abstract for each talk can be found on e-MATH. See http://www.ams.org/meetings/. Programs and abstracts will continue to be displayed on e-MATH in the Meetings and Conferences section until about three weeks after the meeting is over. Final programs for Sectional Meetings will be archived on e-MATH in an electronic issue of the Notices as noted below for each meeting.
