The time limit for each MAA contributed of papers presented to the American Mathematical Society, paper varies. In the Special Sessions the time limit varies ordered according to the numbers in parentheses following from session to session and within sessions. To maintain the the listings. The middle two digits, e.g., 897-20-1136, refer to schedule, time limits will be strictly enforced. the Mathematical Reviews subject classification assigned by Forpaperswithmorethanoneauthor,an asterisk follows the individual author. Groups of papers for each subject are the name of the author who plans to present the paper at the listed chronologically in the Abstracts.
