The summer and annual meetings are joint meetings of the Mathematical Association of America and the Ameri· can Mathematical Society. The meeting dates which fall rather far in the future are subject to change; this is particularly true of meetings to which no numbers have yet been assigned. Programs of the meetings will appear in the issues indicated below. First and second announcements of the meetings will have appeared in earlier issues. ABSTRACTS OF PAPERS presented at a meeting of the Society are published in the journal Abstracts of papers presented to the American Mathematical Society in the issue corresponding to that of the Notices which contains the program of the meet­ ing. Abstracts should be submitted on special forms which are available in many departments of mathematics and from the office of the Society in Providence. Abstracts of papers to be presented at the meeting must be received at the headquarters of the Society in Providence, Rhode Island, on or before the deadline given below for the meeting. Note that the deadline for ab· stracts submitted for consideration for presentation at special sessions is usually three weeks earlier than that specified below. For additional information consult the meeting announcement and the list of organizers of special sessions.

Subscribers' changes of address should be reported well in advance to avoid disruption of service: address labels are prepared four to six weeks in advance of the date of mailing. Requests for a change of address should always include the member or subscriber code and preferably a copy of the entire mailing label. Members are reminded that U. S. Postal Service change-of­ address forms are not adequate for this purpose, since they make no provision for several important items of information which are essential for the AMS records. Suitable forms are published from time to time in the Notices (e.g. June 1980, page 378). Send change of address notices to the Society at Post Office Box 6248, Providence, RI 02940. [Notices is published eight times a year (January, February, April, June, August, October, November, December) by the American Mathematical Society at 201 Charles Street, Providence, RI 02904. Second class postage paid at Providence, RI and additional mailing offices. POSTMASTER: Send address change notices to Membership and Sales Department, American Mathematical Society, Post Office Box 6248, Providence, RI 02940.] Publication here of the Society's street address, and the other information in brackets above, is a technical requirement of the U. S. Postal Service. The street address should never be used by correspondents, unless they plan to deliver their messages by hand. Members are strongly urged to notify the Society themselves of address changes (in the manner described above), since (as explained above) reliance on the postal service change-of-address forms is liable to cause delays in processing such requests in the AMS office.

    the frontiers collection the frontiers collection Series Editors: A.C. Elitzur M.P. Silverman J. Tuszynski R. Vaas H.D. Zeh The books in this collection are devoted to challenging and open problems at the forefront of modern science, including related philosophical debates. In contrast to typical research monographs, however, they strive to present their topics in a manner accessible also to scientifically literate non-specialists wishing to gain insight into the deeper implications and fascinating questions involved. Taken as a whole, the series reflects the need for a fundamental and interdisciplinary approach to modern science. Furthermore, it is intended to encourage active scientists in all areas to ponder over important and perhaps controversial issues beyond their own speciality. Extending from quantum physics and relativity to entropy, consciousness and complex systems – the Frontiers Collection will inspire readers to push back the frontiers of their own knowledge. Other Recent Titles The Thermodynamic Machinery of Life By M. Kurzynski The Emerging Physics of Consciousness Edited by J. A.

  • The Copson and Curle Lectures, University of St Andrews
    The Copson and Curle Lectures, University of St Andrews Colin M Campbell and Edmund F Robertson University of St Andrews, Scotland Abstract We discuss two named lecture series given at the University of St Andrews over the last thirty years. They are the Curle Lectures named after Professor Newby Curle, formerly Gregory Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of St Andrews, and the Copson Lectures named after Professor Edward Copson, formerly Regius Professor of Mathematics at the University of St Andrews. We will discuss the range of topics of the lectures and give brief biographical information about the lecturers. We will also discuss the impact of these lecture series both on the student population and also on the wider public in St Andrews. Introduction In this paper we wish to discuss two named lecture series given at the University of St Andrews, Scotland over the last thirty years. One series is named after Professor Newby Curle, Gregory Professor of Applied Mathematics and a specialist in fluid mechanics and boundary layer theory, and the other series is named after Professor Edward Copson, formerly Regius Professor of Mathematics at St Andrews and an expert in classical analysis. It will be interesting to note that, although one of the professors, Professor Curle, was an applied mathematician and the other, Professor Copson, was a pure mathematician the two series both contain a mix of applied mathematics, pure mathematics and statistics. When I (Colin Campbell) first went to the University of St Andrews in 1965 as an assistant lecturer in Mathematics I was introduced to Professor Edward Copson who thought that I was one of the students.
