The time limit for each AMS contributed paper in the sessions
is ten minutes. The time limit for each MAA contributed
paper varies. In the Special Sessions the time limit varies
from session to session and within sessions. To maintain the
schedule, time limits will be strictly enforced.
For papers with more than one author, an asterisk follows
the name of the author who plans to present the paper at the
meeting.
Papers flagged with a solid triangle () have been designated by the author as being of possible interest to undergraduate students.

meeting will be found in Volume 36, Issue 1 of Abstracts
of papers presented to the American Mathematical Society,
ordered according to the numbers in parentheses following
the listings. The middle two digits, e.g., 897-20-1136, refer to
the Mathematical Reviews subject classification assigned by
the individual author. Groups of papers for each subject are
listed chronologically in the Abstracts. The last one to four
digits, e.g., 897-20-1136, refer to the receipt number of the
abstract; abstracts are further sorted by the receipt number
within each classification. MAA abstracts are listed toward
the back of the issue sorted by session name.
