GeneralThe importance of advance registration cannot be overemphasized. Advance registration fees are considerably lower than the fees that will be charged for registration at the meetings. Advance registration and on-site registration fees only partially cover the expenses of holding meetings. All mathematicians who wish to attend sessions are expected to register and should be prepared to show their badges if so requested. Badges are required to enter the exhibit area, to obtain discounts at the AMS and MAA Book Sales, and to cash a check with the Joint Meetings cashier. Other Mailings Participants Who Are Not Members of the AMS and register for the meetings as a nonmember will receive mailings after the meetings are over with a special membership offer. If you wish to be included in a list of individuals sorted by mathematical interest, please provide the one mathematics subject classification number of your major area of interest on the Advance Registration/Housing Form. (A list of these numbers is available by sending an empty email message to abs-submit@ams.org; include the number 1035 as the subject of the message.) Copies of this list will be available for your perusal in the Networking Center. If you do not wish to be included in any mailing list used for promotional purposes, please indicate this in the appropriate box on the Advance Registration/Housing Form. Policy on Insufficient Funds For each invalid check or credit card transaction that results in an insufficient payment for registration or housing, a US$5 charge will be assessed. Participants should check with their tax preparers for applicable deductions for education expenses as they pertain to these meetings. Overpayments of less than US$5 will not be refunded. Where Your Registration
Dollars Go
The AMS and MAA make every
effort to keep participant expenses at meetings and registration
fees for meetings as low as possible. We work hard to negotiate
the best hotel rates and to make the best use of your registration
dollars to keep the meetings affordable for you. The AMS and the
MAA encourage all participants to register for the meeting. When
you pay the registration fee, you are helping to support a wide
range of activities associated with planning, organizing, and running
a major meeting of this size.
While the AMS and MAA work hard
to make the best use of registration dollars and keep the meetings
affordable, your suggestions on how to keep costs down are welcome.
While at the meeting please enter your comments in the log at the
Transparencies section of the Registration Desk. After the meeting
is over, you may forward your suggestions to the Director of Meetings,
AMS, P.O. Box 6887, Providence, RI 02940, or send email to meet@ams.org.
