My name is Ryan Martin and I am your new editor. The address for submissions will be forwarded to me. I am trying a new format that I hope will be easy to read by both pure-text and formatted browsers. Many thanks to Mark Kayll for getting me started. I welcome any suggestions. In particular, please let me know if the format looks strange on your email reader. I look forward to sending you many exciting new announcements. -RM ================================================================= 2. *** SIAM annual meeting: Registration and Programs Now Available! *** ------ Conference Names: SIAM Annual Meeting (AN06), being held jointly with the SIAM Conference on Financial Mathematics and Engineering (FM06) and the SIAM Conference on Analysis of Partial Differential Equations (PD06).
