Denver Meetings (January 3-9)- Page 19 Notices of the American Mathematical Society January 1983, Issue 223 Volume 30, Number 1, Pages 1-136 Providence, Rhode Island USA ISSN 0002-9920 Calendar of AMS Meetings THIS CALENDAR lists all meetings whi'h have been approved by the Coundl prior to the date this issue of the Notices was sent to press. The summer and annual meetings are joint meetings of the Mathemati,al Asso,iation of Ameri'a and the Ameri· can Mathematical Society. The meeting dates which fall rather far in the future are subject to change; this is parti,ularly 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 'orresponding to that of the Notices whkh 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 Provide-nce. Abstra,ts 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 spedfied below. For additional information consult the meeting announcement and the list of organizers of special sessions.

Subscribers' changes of addrass should ba reported well in advance to avoid disruption of service: address labals are prepared four to six weeks in advance of the date of mailing. Requests for a change of address should always include the membar 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, Rl 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, Rl 02904. Second class postage paid at Providence, Rl and additional mailing offices. POSTMASTER: Send address change notices to Membership and Sales Department, American Mathematical Society, Post Office Box 6248, Providence, Rl 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 ba used by correspondents, unless they plan to deliver their messages by hand. Membars 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 causa delays in processing such requests in the AMS office.

MR, a publication of the American Mathematical Society, provides essentially complete worldwide coverage of pure mathematics as well as those works in applied mathematics, physics, engineering, computer science, biology, operations research and other fields containing new and interesting mathematics. It contains reviews of 35,000 to 40,000 items each year which have been published in over 1,500 journals, books and book series. All this material is available online with BRS and Dialog. The database, called MATHFILE, includes all bibliographic and subject information on articles and books reviewed in Mathematical Reviews since 1973. The file will be updated monthly with the addition of approximately 3,000 new items. In addition to the bibliographic information, MATHFILE contains all the primary and secondary subject classifications attached to those items. Furthermore, starting with the material from mid-1979 issues of Mathematical Reviews, the text of each review is in the file. Additional information may be obtained from J. L.
