E-Journal from the American Mathematical Society which quickly publishes high quality research announcements of significant advances in all areas of mathematics.
The concern of this international mathematical journal is to disseminate theoretical knowledge in the field of Convex Analysis and, at the same time, cultivate and extend its applications.
This monthly journal, published since 1900, is devoted entirely to research in pure and applied mathematics and, in general, includes longer papers than those in the Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society.

It is an excerpt from comments made by Andrew Wiles on March 5, 1997 at a briefing of the American Mathematical Society to the United States Congress in Washington, D.C. Andrew Wiles is best known for his solution of Fermat's Last Theorem.
Mathematics---even the most pure-seeming mathematics, the most abstruse mathematics that we thought would never be used---is now used every time you use your credit card, every time you use your computer.
But mathematics has one great advantage over oil, in that no one has yet---and physicists will show you they never will---found a way that you can keep on using the same oil forever.

A paper by two Vanderbilt Mathematics Professors is the featured cover article in the November Notices of the American Mathematical Society.
The Notices is one of the two publications of the American Mathematical Society that are distributed to all its members.
As explained in the article, the limit distribution as the number of points becomes infinite is, remarkably, just the uniform distribution for all values of s greater than or equal to 2 (the dimension of the torus).

The OAMSRPDAAAS (Official AMS Representative to the Physics Division of the American Association for the Advancement of Science) was trying to look wise at a meeting in Baltimore last February, while silently wondering whether his was the absolutely most obscure bureaucratic position in North American Academia.
In examples drawn from mathematics, they have picked up some vogue words like chaos and nonlinearity, and have eagerly misunderstood them as showing that mathematics has been fundamentally rethought and has retreated from its claim to objective truth.

Just over 25 years ago, the Journal of Mathematical Biology was founded by Hans Bremermann, F.A. Dodge and Karl-Peter Hadeler to foster the emerging interdisciplinary field by stimulating the development of mathematical tools for the analysis of biological phenomena.
is, on the one hand, to foster the contribution of mathematical modelling and reasoning to the understanding of biological systems and the explanation of biological phenomena, and, on the other hand, to be a forum for the presentation of biologically inspired problems of a mathematical nature.
Mathematical ideas, methods, techniques and results are welcome provided they show sufficient potential for usefulness in a biological context.

 UR Math Newsletter, Spring '98: AMS updates Rochester story
Two Years Later, Mathematics is Getting Accolades." Because we think that our alumni might be interested in the aftermath of the controversy over the Renaissance Plan (which temporarily canceled the graduate program in math), we decided to review this article in our newsletter.
It is liberally sprinkled with quotes from both the Department and the Administration attesting to a new spirit of admiration and cooperation.
In an interview in the same issue of the Notices, the new President of the American Mathematical Society, Arthur Jaffe (who was very involved in resolving the crisis of the Renaissance Plan), said: "Everything I have been doing today is based on principles I learned from Rochester."
