Miscellaneous Information
|
Audio-Visual Equipment: Standard
equipment in all AMS Special Session, AMS Contributed Paper, and
MAA Contributed Paper rooms is one overhead projector, one laptop
projector with VGA cable (you must bring your own laptop and any
special adaptors) and screen. (Invited 50-minute speakers are automatically
provided with two overhead projectors, and a laptop projector.)
Blackboards are not available. Internet access will not be provided
because of the exorbitant access fees charged by hotels and convention
centers.
Equipment requests made at the meetings most likely will not be
granted because of budgetary restrictions. Unfortunately no audio-visual
equipment can be provided for committee meetings or other meetings
or gatherings not on the scientific program. Childcare: The American Mathematical Society
and the Mathematical Association of America will again offer childcare
services at the Joint Mathematics Meetings to registered participants.
Read all about it here.
Email Services: Limited email access for all Joint
Meetings participants will be available. The hours of operation
will be published in the program. Information Distribution: Tables are set up in
the exhibit area for dissemination of general information of possible
interest to the members and for the dissemination of information
of a mathematical nature not promoting a product or program for
sale. If a person or group wishes to display information of a mathematical
nature promoting a product or program for sale, they may do so in
the exhibit area at the Joint Books, Journals, and Promotional Materials
exhibit for a fee of US$50 (posters are slightly higher) per item.
Please contact the exhibits manager,
MMSB, P.O. Box 6887, Providence, RI 02940, for further details. The administration of these tables is in the hands of the AMS-MAA
Joint Meetings Committee, as are all arrangements for Joint Mathematics
Meetings.. Petition Table: At the request of the AMS Committee
on Human Rights of Mathematicians, a table will be made available
in the exhibit area at which petitions on behalf of named individual
mathematicians suffering from human rights violations may be displayed
and signed by meetings participants acting in their individual capacities.
For details contact the director of meetings in the Providence office
at 401-455-4137 or by email at dms@ams.org. Signs of moderate size may be displayed at the table but must not
represent that the case of the individual in question is backed
by the Committee on Human Rightsunless it has, in fact, so voted.
Volunteers may be present at the table to provide information on
individual cases, but notice must be sent at least seven days in
advance of the meetings to the director of meetings in the Providence
office. Since space is limited, it may also be necessary to limit
the number of volunteers present at the table at any one time. The
Committee on Human Rights may delegate a person to be present at
the table at any or all times, taking precedence over other volunteers. Any material that is not a petition (e.g., advertisements, rsums)
will be removed by the staff. At the end of the exhibits on Monday,
any material on the table will be discarded, so individuals placing
petitions on the table should be sure to remove them prior to the
close of exhibits. Telephone Messages: The most convenient method
for leaving a message is to do so with the participants hotel. Another
method would be to leave a message at the meetings registration
desk from January 5 through 8 during the hours that the desk is
open. These messages will be posted on the Math Meetings Message
Board; however, staff at the desk will try to locate a participant
in the event of a bona fide emergency. The telephone number will
be published in the program and daily newsletter. |
