mtgs.qxp 7/9/98 8:53 AM Page 1088 Meetings & Conferences of the AMS PROGRAM ALERT: In order that AMS meeting programs include the most timely information for each speaker, abstract dead- lines have been moved to dates much closer to the meeting. What this means is that most meeting programs will appear in the No- tices *after* the meeting takes place. However, complete meeting programs will be available on e-MATH about two to three weeks after the abstract deadline. *Remember*, e-MATH is your most comprehensive source for up-to-date meeting information. See http://www.ams.org/meetings/.
