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 pre­ pared four to six weeks in advance of the date of mailing. Requests for a change of address should always include the mem­ ber or subscriber code and preferably a copy of the entire ma;ling 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 infor­ mation which are essential for the AMS records. Suitable forms are published from time to time in the Notices (e.g. june 1980, page 378). The Society rents three post office boxes in Providence. All general correspondence should be addressed to the Society at Post Office Box 6248, Providence, Rl 02940; dues payments and orders for Society publications (except for ElMS) should be addressed to Post Office Box 1571, Annex Station, Providence, Rl 02901; all correspondence relating to preregistration for meetings or to Employment Information in the Mathematical Sciences should be addressed to Post Office Box 6887, 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. 5. Postal Service. This 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.
