 Over 500,000 Reviews Added to the Mathematical Reviews Electronic
Database
The American Mathematical Society has completed its
two-year project of
adding full-text reviews from the early archives of Mathematical
Reviews (MR) to the MathSci database. During that project, all reviews
from 1940-1979 were keyboarded over 80,000 pages of MR. The number of
searchable reviews from 1940 to the present now on
MathSciNet totals nearly 1,400,000.
The entire collection
contains, for the first
time online, searchable reviews of a major part of mathematics from the
past 60 years.
Erdös Lecture Launched in Denton
The American Mathematical Society is introducing the
Erdös Memorial
Lecture at its upcoming
Joint International Meeting with the
Sociedad Matematica
Mexicana in Denton, Texas on May 19, 1999. The lecture funded by a gift
from D. Andrew Beal is to be given annually. This year Ron Graham will
talk on a variety of Erdös' unsolved problems in number theory.
New AMS Global Directory of Preprint and e-Print Servers
The AMS has just created on e-Math the
Global Directory of Mathematics
Preprint and e-Print Servers which is located in the
Publications and
Research Tools
section of e-MATH. The goal of the Directory is to maintain an updated
directory of all mathematical preprint and e-print servers worldwide so
that mathematicians can browse through their rich content or post their
own research on the server of their choice.
AMS and CMS Approve a New Reciprocal Agreement
The American Mathematical Society (AMS) is delighted to announce that a
new reciprocal agreement has
been approved with the
Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS) that will take effect for the
year 2000 membership year.
Establishment of this agreement between the AMS and the CMS will result
in significant savings and benefits for members of both societies and
it will not affect, in any way, the present arrangement that exists
whereby Canadian institutions can become Institutional Members of the AMS.
Free Demonstration of JSTOR
JSTOR
is a subscription service for institutions that provides
electronic access to back issues (excluding the most recent five years)
of selected scholarly journals. The mathematics and statistics section
currently contains 14 journals, including the
Transactions of the AMS,
the
Proceedings of AMS
, the Journal of the AMS, and Mathematics of
Computation.
A free demonstration
using the Transactions from 1900-1920
is now available from the
JSTOR Demonstration Database. Complete information
about the service is available at that address. More journals, including
the American Mathematical Monthly and the
American Journal of Mathematics, will be added in the future.
Free Service for AMS Individual Members
e-CMP is the electronic
notification service of
Current Mathematical Publications (CMP). This
service provides email to individual members noting relevant
bibliographic entries from each CMP issue. Members may choose up to threeMathematics Subject Classifications.
Notices will arrive approximately every three weeks.
