Sponsorship
The conference is sponsored by NSF, The University at Albany (SUNY),
Williams College and the NYJM editors: Jerry Bona, Joe Rosenblatt,
Birgit Speh, and Mark Steinberger.
Background
The NYJM is the first electronic journal of general mathematics. The
papers are refereed and handled in the traditional manner. For more
information on the NYJM, visit its electronic address at:

The conference is organized with the purpose of advertising the NYJM
in the broad mathematical community. At the conference, there will
be plenary speakers as well as contributed talks throughout the week.
There also will be ample time for more informal discussions and problem
sessions.
Funding
The conference has very limited funding. Participants must be able to
afford their own expenses. However, we anticipate to be able to help
with the expenses of those participants without travel funds from
their institutions or grants. There is no registration fee.
