Soviet Mathematics—Doklady

This journal contains the entire pure mathematics section of the Doklady Akademh

Nauk SSSR in translation. It appears six times a year, each bimonthly issue corresponding to

one volume of the Soviet Doklady. (The Doklady Akademh Nauk SSSR is issued threetimes a month, six issues constituting a volume.)

Notices of the American Mathematical Society

This journal announces the programs of the meetings of the Society. It carries the abstractsof all contributed papers presented at the meetings of the Society and publishes news items ofinterest to mathematical scientists.

All communications should be addressed to the Editor, P.O. Box 6248, Providence, RhodeIsland 02904. News items and insertions for each issue must be in the hands of the editor on orbefore the deadline for the abstracts for papers to be presented at the meetings announced in

that issue. These deadlines are published regularly on the back of the title page.

Mathematics of Computation

A journal devoted to original papers in numerical analysis, the application of numerical

methods and high-speed calculator devices, the computation of mathematical tables, the theoryof high-speed calculating devices and other aids to computation. In addition it publishes reviews

and notes in these and related fields.

Chinese Mathematics—Acta

This is a cover to cover translation into English of Acta Mathematica Sinica, published byAcademia Sinica, Peking, People's Republic of China. Acta Mathematica Sinica contains researchin all fields of pure mathematics.

Mathematical Reviews

This journal is devoted to abstracts and reviews of the current mathematical literature ofthe world. Two volumes will be published in 1968, Volume 35 and Volume 36. Each volumewill consist of 6 regular issues plus an index issue. In each regular issue the abstracts and reviewsare grouped under subject headings. Publication began in 1940. Editorial correspondence

should be sent to Mathematical Reviews, 416 Fourth Street, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48103.

Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society

This journal is the official organ of the Society. It reports official acts of the Society and the

details of its meetings. It contains some of the officially invited addresses presented before theSociety, reviews of advanced mathematical books, research problems and a department of

research announcements.One volume of six numbers is planned for 1968.

Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society

This journal is devoted entirely to research in pure and applied mathematics, and is devoted

principally to the publication of original papers of moderate length. Volume 1 appeared in 1950.The journal contains a department called Shorter Notes. The purpose of this department is to

publish very short papers of an unusually elegant and polished character, for which there isnormally no other outlet.

One volume of six numbers is planned for 1968.
