mtgs.qxp 5/18/98 11:26 AM Page 794 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.
