http://www.ams.org/mr-database
Mathematical Reviews (MR) and Zentralblatt MATH (Zbl)
cooperate in
maintaining the Mathematics Subject Classification (MSC)
which is
used by these reviewing services and others to categorize
items in
the mathematical sciences literature. The current version,
MSC2000,
is being revised for use in 2010. MR and Zbl welcome
community input
into this revision process. Comments can be submitted
through the
classification feedback form
http://www.msc2010.org/msc-feedback.php
or by email to feedback@msc2010.org  . This input will be of
great
value as the process moves forward.

contain
significant research contributions to the field of analysis
of PDE, as
commonly defined in the mathematical literature, with direct
or
potential applications.

The award will consist of a plaque and a certificate
containing the
award citation.  At least one of the awardees is expected to
attend
the award ceremony and to present the paper as a plenary
lecture at
the meeting.  Travel expenses will be available to reimburse
one
speaker.

Nominations should include a full bibliographic citation for
the paper
and a brief statement outlining the justification for the
nomination
in terms of its importance and impact.  Nominations should
be
addressed to Professor Mary Pugh, Chair, SIAG/APDE Prize
Committee and

                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From: OP-SF NET Editors
Subject: About the Activity Group

The SIAM Activity Group on Orthogonal Polynomials and
Special Functions
consists of a broad set of mathematicians, both pure and
applied.  The
Group also includes engineers and scientists, students as
well as
experts. We have around 140 members scattered about in more
than 20
countries. Whatever your specialty might be, we welcome your
participation in this classical, and yet modern, topic.  Our
WWW home
page is:

   http://math.nist.gov/opsf/

This is a convenient point of entry to all the services
provided by the
Group.  Our Webmaster is Bonita Saunders
(bonita.saunders@nist.gov).

The Activity Group sponsors OP-SF NET, which is transmitted
periodically
by SIAM.  It is provided as a free public service;
membership in SIAM
is not required.  The OP-SF Net Editors are Diego Dominici
(dominicd@newpaltz.edu) and Martin Muldoon
(muldoon@yorku.ca).

To receive the OP-SF NET, send your name and email address
to
poly-request@siam.org .

Back issues can be obtained at the WWW addresses:

http://www.math.ohio-state.edu/JAT/DATA/OPSFNET/opsfnet.html
 
http://cio.nist.gov/esd/emaildir/lists/opsfnet/maillist.html

For several years the Activity Group sponsored a printed
Newsletter,
most recently edited by Rafael Yanez. Back issues are
accessible at:

http://www.mathematik.uni-kassel.de/~koepf/siam.html

Given the widespread availability of email and the Internet,
the need for
the printed Newsletter has decreased. Discussions are
underway concerning
whether an annual printed Newsletter or Annual Report should
be
instituted.

SIAM has several categories of membership, including
low-cost categories
for students and residents of developing countries.  For
current
information on SIAM and Activity Group membership, contact:
