American Mathematical Society—Contributions Dear Friends and Colleagues, The American Mathematical Society works in many ways to foster a vibrant environment for mathema- ticians. Programs and services that directly improve scholarship and professional life have substantial impact. You, our members and friends, make this work possible through your generosity. The Society celebrated its 125th Anniversary in 2013, and in concordance, many of you directed your philanthropic resources toward the AMS. Your donations promoted excellence in research via the Centennial Fellowship and other prizes and awards; they ensured that young mathematicians participated in camps that fed their eagerness for mathematics; they supported graduate students as they took crucial steps early in their careers and they enabled access to MathSciNet across the globe, assisting mathematicians in developing countries. On behalf of all these beneficiaries and those working to support these programs, I thank you. The Society’s work was lifted by substantial individual gifts this year. D. Andrew Beal increased the prize related to the Beal Conjecture to $1 million dollars; the spendable income funds the Paul Erdo˝s Memorial Lecture and other key AMS programs. The Epsilon Fund was aided by Adrian Banner with roy- alties from his book sales, as well as by Thomas Savage. Aurellia Sobczyk made a gift in memory of her husband, Andrew. Cathleen Synge Morawetz and Herbert Morawetz bolstered the Oswald Veblen Prize in Geometry. The AMS received a legacy gift from the late mathematician Kathleen Baxter. The Society also recognizes Robert and Maria Steinberg’s longtime support of the AMS, and we acknowledge with sadness the passing of Maria in 2013. Every donor builds connections between legacies of scholars and mathematical thought. By giving, you are indelibly connected to the field, its history, its future and to members of the mathematical com- munity everywhere. Passion for mathematics drives us to do great things. Thank you for your gifts that make so much possible. Donald E. McClure Executive Director Thomas S. Fiske Society Members of the Thomas S. Fiske Society uphold the future of mathematics by including the American Mathematical Society in their estate plans. The following Fiske Society members have created a personal legacy in support of the mathematical sciences by naming the AMS in their will, retirement plan, or other gift planning vehicle.
