\chaptermark{General Instructions for Preparing Manuscripts}

\section*{Introduction}
This handbook is intended for authors and keyboarders who are preparing
books or articles for submission to the American Mathematical 
Society (AMS). 

The AMS, one of the world's largest publishers of research literature in the
mathematical sciences, uses \TeX{} to typeset its publications. You will find
general information about \TeX{} in the \textit{\TeX{} Resources} chapter.
Information for contacting the appropriate departments at the AMS appears on
the inside back cover of this handbook. 

The AMS offers \TeX -related support software, such as \AmS-\TeX{} and
\AMSLaTeX{} which provide easy ways to code manuscripts that contain
mathematical expressions. To encourage the use of \AmS-\TeX{} and
\AmS-\LaTeX, the AMS has developed publication-specific author packages.
These packages contain instructions and style files. By using the style
files, you will shorten the time needed to publish your work and help
reduce the price of the publication. You will find instructions for
obtaining author packages later in this handbook. They are available
free of charge via FTP.

There is a \textit{Quick Start} chapter which offers step-by-step
instructions for obtaining and using author packages.

Additional instructions for correctly encoding \AMSTeX{} or \AMSLaTeX{}
submissions are given in the \textit{Instructions for Preparation of
Papers and Monographs} (this will be referred to throughout this
handbook as the \textit{Instructions}). These instructions are available
electronically in the author package directories on the AMS internet
node e-MATH (see \textit{Obtaining and Processing Author Packages from
e-MATH}) or in printed form from our Customer Services Department.

\vspace*{-1pc}
\section*{The four types of submissions}

The AMS divides submissions into four types depending upon whether the 
submission is camera-ready or not and upon whether the submission is 
electronic or not. In this handbook you will find a general overview of 
electronic submissions, general information about the different types  of
\TeX{} and the author packages, a description of resources  available, and
complete information for the preparation of  nonelectronic submissions.    

\begin{itemize}

\item An \textbf{electronic manuscript} is a \TeX{} file prepared using 
\AMSTeX{} or \AmS-\LaTeX{} together with the appropriate style file,
and following AMS instructions. 
The file is processed through the  AMS production system, and an 
editorial proofreading is done. In most cases you will receive galley 
pages to proofread before the final copy is printed. 

\item A \textbf{camera-ready electronic submission} is a DVI or suitable
\linebreak PostScript file you produce. (Contact AMS Technical Support
for further details if you want to submit your entire article in
PostScript format.)  The final copy is printed by the AMS directly from
your file. See the instructions for preparing camera-ready submissions
later in this handbook and the \textit{Instructions} document included 
in the author package. You are responsible for final formatting and 
proofreading.

\item A \textbf{nonelectronic manuscript} is a manuscript prepared 
without using the style files. A nonelectronic manuscript is keyed by 
the AMS as a \TeX{} file. An editorial proofreading is done, and usually a 
proof is sent to authors before the final copy is printed. For nonelectronic 
manuscripts it is important that the manuscript be typed with at least 
double spacing and with generous margins on both sides $(1\frac 1{4}$ 
inches). The double spacing provides clear separation of subscripts 
and superscripts and also permits changes to be inserted 
directly above portions crossed out. The margins allow the copyeditor 
to write instructions to the compositor. The pages of the manuscript
should be numbered consecutively in the upper right-hand corners. This 
ensures that the absence of a page or a misplaced page will be noticed. 

\item A \textbf{camera-ready nonelectronic submission} is material 
submitted by authors that is photographed by the AMS and then 
published.  See the instructions for preparing camera-ready 
submissions later in this handbook. You are responsible for final 
formatting and proofreading. 

\end{itemize}


The types of submissions that can be accepted depend on the specific 
publication; for example, journals generally do not accept 
camera-ready submissions. If you do not know the types of  submissions 
accepted by the publication that you are submitting to,  contact the 
Publication Division. 

The AMS has created style files which can be used if
you are preparing a paper or monograph and are uncertain to which
publication you will be submitting.  See the list of available author packages
on the back cover of this handbook.

 
\section*{Reimbursement}The AMS will, upon request, reimburse authors  for
actual expenses incurred in the preparation of a \textbf{camera-ready}
submission of a monograph designated by the AMS for  camera-ready submission or
an article in a proceedings volume. All requests  must be received with the
camera copy. The maximum rate of  reimbursement is \$8.00 per page. A fee for
any work required at the  AMS will be deducted from the total amount of the
reimbursement. You  will find an Author Reimbursement form and a W-9 form
included in the  \textit{Packet for Camera-Ready Submissions} (available from
the Publication  Division). \textbf{Include these forms with your submission of
camera copy}.  Reimbursement payments are mailed after the book is published. 


\section*{Permissions}Authors are responsible for obtaining written  permission
to use another person's work---including pictures,  figures, and other
art---whether or not it has been   published previously. If the work has been
published previously, the publisher  is usually empowered to grant permission,
but that is not always  the case; the author or an heir sometimes retains such
rights.  Permission is not necessary, of course, for use of work in the public 
domain (such as U.S. government publications or works on which the  copyright
has expired), but credit should be given, in any case, to  the originator of
the work. 

Authors are advised to begin writing for permissions \textit{as soon as a 
manuscript has been accepted for publication} by an editor or  editorial
committee. The Publication Division will assist an author in  obtaining
permissions if such assistance is requested at least \textit{six weeks} before
the paper is due at the AMS. A copy of the letter(s)  granting permission must
be sent to the AMS with the submission. 

\section*{General resources}For general advice on writing mathematics, 
see \cite{SHSD} and \cite{NJH}. For information of a more specific 
nature including selecting notation, rules for spacing and breaking 
mathematical expressions, English usage, the appropriate format for 
references, a list of mathematical symbols, and the symbols used in 
proofreading, see \cite{MIT} and \cite{NJH}. In your bibliography, use 
the abbreviations given in \cite{ASMR}. 


\section*{Graphics}

Graphics are classified as either electronic or nonelectronic. Refer  to the
\textit{Graphics} section of the \textit{Instructions} document  included in
your author package if you are uncertain about specific coding. If your
submission is prepared as  a camera-ready submission, refer to the section on
\textit{Graphics  placement} in the \textit{Camera-Ready Submissions} chapter
in this  handbook. 

\subsection*{Electronic graphics} Figures may be submitted to the 
AMS in an electronic format. The AMS recommends that graphics created 
electronically be saved in encapsulated PostScript (EPS) format. This 
includes graphics originated via a graphics application as well as 
scanned photographs or other computer-generated images. 

Many popular graphics applications under a Macintosh, Windows, or Unix 
environment allow files to be saved in EPS format.  However, if your  package
does not support EPS output, save your graphics file in one of  the standard
graphics formats---such as TIFF, PICT, GIF, etc.---rather  than in an
application-dependent format.  For example, if you are  using SuperPaint on a
Macintosh, do not send files in SuperPaint  format. Instead, save the file in
PICT format from SuperPaint and send  the PICT files to the AMS.  Graphics
files submitted in an  application-dependent format are not likely to be used. 
No matter  what method was used to produce the graphic, it is necessary to 
provide a paper copy to the AMS. 

\textbf{Note:} Authors using graphics packages for the creation of 
electronic art should also avoid the use of any lines thinner than 0.5 
points in width.  Many graphics packages allow the user to specify a 
``hairline'' for a very thin line.  Hairlines often look acceptable
when proofed on a typical laser printer.  However, when produced on a 
high-resolution laser imagesetter, hairlines become nearly invisible 
and will be lost entirely in the final printing process. 

Screens should be set to values between 15\% and 85\%. Screens which fall
outside of this range are too light or too dark to print correctly.

\subsection*{Nonelectronic graphics}
These graphics should be drawn in black ink with clean, unbroken lines 
on nonabsorbent paper.  Whenever possible, fonts used in graphics 
should match those used in the text. Authors' original graphics are 
used whenever possible in AMS publications. 

Send the originals of photographs or computer-generated images to the  AMS.  A
photocopy of such an image can be used to identify it.   To avoid damage to
photographic images, do not use paper  clips or staples, and do not tape them
to a sheet of paper. 

For a  color image (whether it is to be converted to a black and white image 
or is to appear in color), submit one of the following (listed in order of
preference):
\begin{itemize}
\item print,
\item slide,
\item transparency.
\end{itemize}

\section*{Equations}
Check displayed equations carefully, making sure they are broken and 
aligned following the guidelines in \cite[pp. 38--41]{MIT}. 

\section*{Submission}

\subsection*{Electronic submissions}See the chapter \textit{How to Submit 
Electronic Files and Graphics}.

\subsection*{Nonelectronic submissions}Send two proof copies of your 
article or monograph to the appropriate journal or book series editor. 
Include any artwork.

\subsection*{After acceptance} All articles and monographs must have been
accepted for publication by  the appropriate editorial board before they are
sent to the AMS.  Camera-ready submissions should be sent to the Publication
Division.

Submissions for book monograph or proceedings volumes should be sent 
to the attention of either Donna Harmon or Christine Thivierge.  All 
journal submissions should be sent to the attention of Christine 
Vendettuoli. 


\chapter*{General Checklist for Authors}

All authors should refer to the following list.  Information specific to the
different types of publications (i.e., books and journals) is listed on the
following three pages.

\begin{itemize}
\item Authors should proofread their work before submitting it to the 
AMS. 

\item The first page of the article must contain a \textit{descriptive 
title}. The \textit{descriptive title} should be short, but 
informative; useless or vague phrases such as ``some remarks about'' 
or ``concerning'' should be avoided. 

\item Give the   \textbf{1991 Mathematics Subject Classification} numbers
representing the   primary and secondary subjects of the work. A list  of these
numbers   may be found in the annual index of \textit{Mathematical Reviews},  
published with the December issue starting in 1990, as well as from   the
electronic service e-MATH (\texttt{telnet e-math.ams.org} or 
\texttt{130.44.1.100}; \texttt{login} and \texttt{password} are
\texttt{e-math}) or in printed form from Customer Services.

\item Give information on \textbf{grants} or contracts under 
which the research was performed, including grant number.

\item An \textbf{abstract} may comprise multiple paragraphs and include 
displayed material if appropriate. The length of the abstract depends 
primarily on the length of the paper itself and on the difficulty of 
summarizing the material, but an upper limit of about 150 words for 
short papers and 300 words for long papers is suggested. An abstract 
is not required for book proceedings.

\end{itemize}

\chapter*{Information Specific to Monographs}
\begin{itemize}
\item In \textbf{chapter titles}, the first and last words of the title 
and all nouns, pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, and verbs should be 
capitalized; articles, conjunctions, and prepositions should be 
lowercased except for the first and last words of the title. 


\item The \textbf{running heads} on the left-hand (even-numbered) pages 
should have the chapter title in uppercase letters. The title in 
running heads should be shortened only if necessary to fit on one 
line, leaving room for the page number. The running heads on the 
right-hand (odd-numbered) pages should have the main-heading title 
(shortened if necessary) in uppercase letters. 

\item The \textbf{copyright page} should include primary classification
using the the 1991 Mathematics 
Subject Classification scheme, grant information, and an abstract. 
For translations the copyright page should include the name and city 
of the original publisher, the copyright year of the original 
publication, and the name and address of the translator.

\end{itemize}


\chapter*{Information Specific to Proceedings Volumes}

\begin{itemize}

\item In \textbf{article titles}, the first and last words of the title 
and all nouns, pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, and verbs should be 
capitalized; articles, conjunctions, and prepositions should be 
lowercased except for the first and last words of the title.  

\item The \textbf{running heads} on the left-hand (even-numbered) pages 
should have the name(s)  of the author(s) in uppercase letters. Names 
in running heads should match the names as given on the first page 
and should be shortened only if necessary to fit on one line, leaving 
room for the page number. The running heads on the right-hand 
(odd-numbered) pages should have the article title (shortened if 
necessary) in uppercase letters. 

\item \textbf{Preliminary papers}, as well as abstracts and summaries, 
are not accepted for publication in AMS proceedings volumes. 

\item Unmarked, unnumbered \textbf{footnotes on the first page} of an 
article should include primary classification using the 1991 
Mathematics Subject Classification 
scheme followed by grant information. 

\item Academic or other \textbf{affiliations} should appear at the end of  your
article, after the bibliography or references. A \textbf{current  address}, if
different from the affiliation, should follow the  affiliation on a new line
with a blank line in between. An \textbf{e-mail address} should be included if
available, on a new line following the current address with a blank line in
between. \textbf{Note:} Line spacing is taken care of automatically by AMS
style files.

\item A \textbf{Copyright Transfer Agreement} is sent to the author(s) when 
the final paper is received at the AMS.  Authors retain the right to use all or
part of  their own work in future publications of their own. They are, 
however, asked, but not required, to sign other rights over to the  AMS. The
form should be returned  to the Production Department immediately, either
signed or with a note  that the author(s) will hold copyright.

\end{itemize}

\chapter*{Information Specific to Journals}

\begin{itemize}

\item In \textbf{article titles} only the first word and proper nouns 
should be capitalized. 

\item The \textbf{running heads} on the left-hand (even-numbered) pages 
should have the name(s)  of the author(s) in uppercase letters. Names 
in running heads should match the names as given on the first page 
and should be shortened only if necessary to fit on one line, leaving 
room for the page number. The running heads on the right-hand 
(odd-numbered) pages should have the article title (shortened if 
necessary) in uppercase letters. 


\item Transactions, Proceedings, Mathematics of Computation, and  Bulletin
articles (except Book Reviews) must contain an \textbf{abstract}. The main
purpose of the abstract is to enable readers to  take in the nature and results
of the article quickly. Zentralblatt  publishes authors' abstracts instead of
reviews, so the abstract may  also appear there. 

\item Unmarked, unnumbered \textbf{footnotes on the first page} of an  article
should include primary classification according to the 1991  Mathematics
Subject Classification  scheme followed by \textbf{grant} information. A
footnote  of \textbf{key words and phrases}, describing the subject matter of
the  article and taken from it, is optional. 
 
\item Academic or other \textbf{affiliations} should appear at the end of  your
work, after the bibliography or references. A \textbf{current  address}, if
different from the affiliation, should follow the  affiliation on a new line
with a blank line in between. An \textbf{e-mail address} should be included if
available. \textbf{Note:} Line spacing is taken care of automatically by AMS
style files.


\item A \textbf{Copyright Transfer Agreement} is sent to the author(s) when 
the final paper is received at the AMS.  Authors retain the right to use all or
part of  their own work in future publications of their own. They are, 
however, asked, but not required, to sign other rights over to the  AMS. The
form should be returned  to the Production Department immediately, either
signed or with a note  that the author(s) will hold copyright.

\end{itemize}


\chapter*{Camera-Ready Submissions}

You should obtain a \textit{Packet for Camera-Ready Submissions} from   the
Publication Division. The  packet contains a copy of this handbook,  model
paper (for authors preparing a nonelectronic submission), and  reimbursement
forms. You may send a few sample pages to the   Production Department to check
before finalizing copy. Since  camera-ready submissions are printed directly
from the material  supplied by authors, \textbf{you are responsible for final
formatting  and proofreading}. 

\section*{Camera-ready electronic submissions} To encourage the use of \AMSTeX{}
or \AmS-\LaTeX, the AMS has developed  publication-specific author packages.
These packages contain  instructions and style files. By using the style files,
you will  shorten the time needed to publish your work and help reduce the
price  of the publication. You will find instructions for obtaining author 
packages later in this handbook. Author packages are available free of charge
via  FTP. 

\subsection*{Guidelines for paging} Each AMS style file contains macros which
set most of the paging standards.  Page dimensions, heading formats, and
penalties which prevent widows and orphans are just some of the specifications
you will not need to worry about when using the style file.  Refer to the
\textit{Instructions} for additional information.

\subsection*{Graphics placement}Graphics can be embedded in the  output or
white space can be left for graphics to be stripped in  later. In either case,
they should 

\begin{itemize}
\item be numbered consistently throughout the paper,

\item be placed at the top or bottom of the page, and

\item have an in-text reference.

\end{itemize}

You should always use the predefined figure macros to include graphics (refer
to the \textit{Instructions} for specific coding instructions).  These macros
allow the user to either include encapsulated PostScript (EPS)  graphics or
specify white space for graphics to be stripped in later.  Extra space
surrounding the caption and the actual figure is built into the macro. 
Therefore, if white space is placed where a figure will be set, only the actual
size of the figure should be given within the macro.

\textbf{Make sure all graphics do not extend into the margins.} 

Ideally, a figure or table should not precede its first text reference unless 
the graphic and its text reference appear on facing pages  (an even-numbered
page followed by odd-numbered page), and  a figure or table must definitely
appear within  the same section as its first text reference. When a figure or
table  is an integral part of text, it may appear unnumbered in place in the 
middle of text. 


\subsection*{Embedded graphics}There are two ways of utilizing EPS 
graphics with a \TeX{} document: 

\begin{enumerate}

\item  Calls to EPS files can be embedded within the \TeX{} file and
automatically incorporated by \TeX{}.

\item Blank space of an appropriate size for each graphic can be left 
in the \TeX{} document. Graphics files can then be sent to the AMS for 
high-resolution typesetting and manual positioning in the typeset 
document. 
\end{enumerate}

In either case, submit a separate file for each graphic along with the 
\TeX{} document.  In cases where files cannot be saved in an EPS 
format, you may choose to leave space in the \TeX{} document and 
submit the graphics files separately. 

If you choose to submit a file with embedded references to external 
EPS files, incorporate the EPS files into the \TeX{} file using one of 
the following public-domain macro packages: \filnam{epsf.tex} (or 
\filnam{epsf.sty}), developed by Radical Eye Software; 
\filnam{psfig.tex}, version 1.9 or later; or \filnam{boxedeps.tex} (or 
\filnam{boxedeps.sty}).  The AMS does not provide these macro files to 
authors, as they are widely available in the \TeX{} community. 
For a list of public domain archives contact the Electronic Products
and Services Department at the AMS. Also, 
there are a few requirements if these macros are used: 


\begin{enumerate}
\item DO NOT include any path names of the included PostScript files.  
     For instance, do not say 
\ttcs{psfig{file=/usr/joe/book/figures/fig1.ps}}.
     Instead remove all explicit path references, so that the above
     example would become \ttcs{psfig{file=fig1.ps}}.

\item Include printed copies of all of the PostScript files for the
     graphics with the \TeX{} file.

\item If you are preparing a camera-ready submission and you are using
\filnam{psfig.tex},  use the version which is compatible with dvips, rather
than the Oz\TeX{} version of that file.  If you use \filnam{boxedeps.tex}, when
you run \TeX{} to create the DVI or PostScript file to send to the AMS, you
must place the command  \ttcs{SetRokickiEPSFSpecial} immediately after the file 
\filnam{boxedeps.tex} input.

\end{enumerate}


\section*{Camera-ready nonelectronic submissions} 
A camera-ready nonelectronic submission need not be 
printed on model paper, but the instructions that appear on the model 
paper must be followed in order to maintain uniformity within a 
volume and within a book series. It is particularly important that 
the type block measure 30 by 50.5 picas (approximately 5 $\times$ 
$8 \tfrac38$ inches). For proceedings articles, the first page, including 
title, should measure only $36 \tfrac12$ picas  (approximately 6 inches) in 
length. Similarly, in a monograph, the opening page of each chapter 
should measure 30 by $43 \tfrac12$ picas (approximately $5 \times 7 \tfrac14$ 
inches). For all other pages, running   heads should be included in 
the measurement of the type block and  should be centered at the top 
of each page in small capital letters.  


\subsection*{Guidelines for paging} Avoid the following situations whenever
possible: 

\begin{itemize}

\item A \textbf{widow}, which is a short line at the top of the page 
that ends a paragraph and is less than half the text width. Use 
your discretion for lines that approach half the text width. 
Transfer these lines to the previous page, or transfer a line from 
the previous page forward. 

\item A \textbf{centered heading} at the bottom of a page with less than 
2 lines of text following it or at the top of a page with only 
1 line of text preceding it. (A centered heading can appear at the 
top of a page. For headings that run into text, there should be at least 2 
lines of text, following the heading, at the bottom of the page.) 

\item The \textbf{first line} of a theorem, definition, remark, etc., at 
the bottom of a page. If the \textbf{last line} of a theorem, definition, 
remark, etc., is a widow, follow the rules for widows. 

\item An \textbf{unacceptable math break} in text between pages. Page 
breaks for math follow the same guidelines as line breaks for math; 
see \cite[pp. 36--37]{MIT}. 

\item A \textbf{hyphenated word} at the bottom of a right-hand page.

\end{itemize}


For proceedings articles, aim for an acceptable-looking 
last page for each article. Avoid having just one reference, the 
affiliation, current address, e-mail address, or ``translated by'' line 
standing alone on the page. 


\subsection*{Graphics placement}

Graphics can be embedded in the output or white space can be left for  
graphics to be stripped in later. In either case, they should 

\begin{itemize}
\item be numbered consistently throughout the paper,

\item be placed at the top or bottom of the page, and

\item have an in-text reference.

\end{itemize}

If you are leaving white space for graphics that will be stripped in 
and you are \textbf{not} using an AMS style file, then you must leave 
space for graphics as follows: 

\begin{itemize}
\item  at least 1.5 picas ($\tfrac14$ inch) of space between the text and the
top  of the graphic (if the graphic follows text),

\item exact space for the graphic,

\item exactly 1 pica of space from the bottom of the graphic to its 
caption,

\item at least 1.5 picas ($\tfrac14$ inch) of space from the caption to the
text  below (if text follows the graphic). 

\end{itemize}

A figure or table should not precede its first text reference unless  the
graphic and its text reference  appear on facing pages (an even-numbered page
followed by  odd-numbered page), and a figure or table must definitely appear
within  the same section as its first text reference. When a figure or table 
is an integral part of text, it may appear unnumbered in place in the  middle
of text. 


\subsection*{Footnotes}
A footnote must appear on the same page as its text reference. On rare 
occasions it will happen that a footnote will not fit in its entirety 
on the same page as its text reference. In this case break the 
footnote between pages at a line of the footnote that ends in the 
middle of a sentence. This will signify to the reader that the 
footnote continues on the next page. Please note that the footnote 
must at least begin on the same page as its text reference. 


\chapter*{\protect\TeX{} Resources}

\LaTeX{} and plain \TeX{} are available on the Internet free of charge.  There
are also numerous commercial \TeX{} packages. \textit{Making \TeX{}  Work}
\cite{NM} explains and reviews most of the popular public domain  and
commercial packages and includes instructions for obtaining these  packages.

\LaTeX{} is the most popular of the public domain packages designed for  use
with plain \TeX, the basic \TeX{} typesetting program. Whereas  plain \TeX{}
defines most of the base macros you will need, \LaTeX{}  defines prepackaged
stylistic macros. It sets up a book, article,  report, and letter style, which
you can then alter to your  specifications. \textit{\LaTeX{} User's Guide \& 
Reference Manual} \cite{LM} is the standard instruction manual for  \LaTeX. 
The standard reference for plain \TeX{} is \textit{The \TeX  book} \cite{TB}. 
Both can be obtained from the AMS Customer Services Department.

The \TeX{} Users Group is your best resource for 
information on both plain \TeX{} and \LaTeX. 
They can be contacted at:

\AMSTeX{} and \AMSLaTeX{} are macro packages that provide a variety of 
mathematical environments for the user.  The macro package \AMSTeX{} provides
advanced mathematical typesetting capabilities to the plain \TeX{} user. The
\AMSLaTeX{}  macro package  provides advanced mathematical typesetting
capabilities of  \AMSTeX{} to the \LaTeX{} user. Nearly all of the \AMSTeX{}
features such  as multiline equations, matrices, math accents, etc., are
incorporated  into \AMSLaTeX.  Included in these packages are style files which
reflect the appearance of the AMS's standard book and journal design. 

Both \AMSTeX{} and \AMSLaTeX{} require the installation of \TeX.  \AMSLaTeX{}
requires the additional installation of \LaTeX. (See \textit{Author Package
Requirements} section.) 

\AMSTeX{} and \AMSLaTeX{} are available via anonymous FTP from
\linebreak e-MATH or for a minimal fee from Customer Services
Department. (See the chapter \textit{Obtaining and Processing Author
Packages from e-MATH}.) AMS distributions of \AMSTeX{} 2.1, \AMSLaTeX{}
1.2, and AMSFonts{} 2.2 each include a copy of the related User's Guide.
Each guide provides important information including installation
procedures and coding examples. An electronic version of each of these
guides is available on e-MATH. Printed versions of each User's Guide may
be ordered free of charge from Customer Services.

\chapter*{Author Package Requirements}

The author packages developed by the AMS produce the style of a  
specific publication using a standard set of command sequences  (see 
the lists of commands later in this handbook). The AMS strongly  
encourages authors to prepare their articles and  monographs using 
the appropriate author package. By using the  appropriate author 
package, you will shorten the time needed to publish your work and 
help reduce the price of the publication. 

Author packages contain sample paper(s), templates for coding 
topmatter, an electronic copy of this handbook, 
instructions for using the package, and style 
files that produce the style of a specific publication. Instructions 
for obtaining author packages are included later in this handbook. 

Each author package is designed to work with the most recent 
versions of the base software.  If you use older versions of \TeX, 
\LaTeX, or AMS-created macro packages, you will run into problems 
such as bugs which have been fixed in a later version of 
the software you are running. 

To  use an author package, you will need the current version of either 
\AMSTeX{} or \AMSLaTeX. 

If you are preparing an electronic submission 
using \AMSTeX, you need:

\begin{itemize}
\item plain \TeX{} and Computer Modern fonts,
\item \AMSTeX{} (including \verb+amsppt.sty+),
\item AMSFonts, and
\item the appropriate publication-specific \AMSTeX{} author package.
\end{itemize}


If you are preparing an electronic submission 
using \AMSLaTeX, you need:

\begin{itemize}
\item \TeX{} and Computer Modern fonts,
\item \LaTeX $2\epsilon$,
\item \AMSLaTeX{} (including \verb+amsart.cls+, \verb+amsproc.cls+, and 
   \verb+amsbook.cls+),
\item AMSFonts, and
\item the appropriate publication-specific \AMSLaTeX{} author package.
\end{itemize}


\textbf{Note:} You must have \LaTeX $2\epsilon$ on your system in order 
to run \AMSLaTeX{} 1.2.  Current \AMSLaTeX{} author packages 
have been created to run only under version 1.2 or later since the
release of  \LaTeX $2\epsilon$.


\chapter*{Obtaining and Processing Author Packages from e-MATH}

The most recent list of available author packages  is on e-MATH.
In this section we give a general introduction to the FTP commands to 
be used for obtaining author packages. This is followed by specific 
instructions for obtaining author packages from the AMS's internet node
e-MATH (\texttt{e-math.ams.org}) using a standard 
file transfer method known as ``FTP''. 

e-MATH is a Unix environment; therefore  file and directory names are 
case-sensitive; directory names are lowercase.  The basic FTP commands 
you will need to know are listed below.  \textbf{Note:} Some implementations of 
FTP function slightly differently.  For example, you may have to use 
\texttt{quit} instead of \texttt{exit}. If you have any problems, contact 
the support people at your site.  If you do not have support help 
available, send mail to \texttt{support@e-math.ams.org}. 

\begin{table}[h]

\section*{How to log onto e-MATH} 
From your host system account type \texttt{ftp e-math.ams.org}
\verb+<return>+. 
When you see a message indicating that a connection  has been opened, 
log in using the username \texttt{anonymous}.  If your  version of FTP 
is now prompting you for a \texttt{Name} or \texttt{Username}, simply type 
\texttt{anonymous} \verb+<return>+.  Otherwise, type 
\texttt{login anonymous} \verb+<return>+. You will 
be asked to enter a password; enter your e-mail address here and 
press \verb+<return>+. 

\section*{Which files you need and how to get them}

On the back cover of this handbook there is a list of publications for
which author packages are available. To obtain the most up-to-date list
of available packages, retrieve and read the file
\texttt{/pub/author-info/READ.ME}.

If you want to retrieve the author package for the \textit{Contemporary 
Mathematics} monograph series for use with \AMSTeX, do the following:

\begin{enumerate}
\item Connect to the directory by typing:

\texttt{cd /pub/author-info/packages/conm-m/amstex} 

\noindent (Use the codes on the {back cover of this  handbook}  to replace
\texttt{conm-m} with the code  for the specific publication you want; change
\texttt{amstex} to \texttt{amslatex} if appropriate.)

\item Enter \texttt{pwd} to make sure that Step 1 was successful.

\item Enter \texttt{dir} to see how many files are in the directory. (optional)

\item Connect to the directory on your computer where the files will go, using
the \texttt{lcd} command. (\textbf{Note:} The format in which you type the
directory name  should be the normal format in which you type it on your
operating system.)

\item Enter \texttt{lpwd} to make sure that Step 3 was successful.

\item Enter \texttt{mget *.*}

\item Enter \texttt{ldir} to be sure that all the files were copied. 
(optional)
\end{enumerate}

\textbf{Note:} If you are planning to get both \AMSTeX{} and \AMSLaTeX{} 
versions of author packages, you must set up separate directories on 
your system. There are files with similar names between the two types 
of packages; moving them to the same directory will cause some files 
to be overwritten. 

To obtain the \TeX{} macro packages (\AMSTeX{} and \AmS-\LaTeX)\ and  fonts
(AMSFonts) from e-MATH, follow the instructions in the \texttt{READ.ME} file
in the directory \texttt{/pub}.

Questions concerning the above files can be sent to: 
\texttt{tech-support@\linebreak math.ams.org}.  Reports of 
problems in accessing the e-MATH system itself should be sent to: 
\texttt{support@e-math.ams.org}. 

\section*{How to end the FTP session and log off}To exit FTP, 
simply type \texttt{exit} or
\texttt{quit} \verb+<return>+.

\section*{Electronic file installation and processing overview}

The following is a general overview of what to do once you obtain your 
author package. 

\begin{itemize}

\item If you use \AMSTeX, install the style files in the directory where you
have \texttt{ amsppt.sty}. If you use \AMSLaTeX, install the style files in the 
directory where you have \texttt{amsart.cls}, \texttt{amsproc.cls}, and 
\texttt{amsbook.cls}.) 

\item  Print the \texttt{READ-*.ME} file; \TeX{} and print all *.tex files 
in the package.

\item If you do not know whether your submission should be an electronic
manuscript or a camera-ready submission, contact the Publication Division at
\texttt{pub@math.ams.org}.  Once you verify this information follow the
appropriate  guidelines in this handbook. 

\item  \textbf{Proofread your work carefully}. 

\item  Submit your files following the instructions in the chapter
\textit{How to Submit Electronic Files and Graphics}.
   
\end{itemize}



\chapter*{How to Submit Electronic Files and Graphics}
First send two proof copies of the article or monograph to the 
appropriate journal or book series editor.  You should state your 
intention to submit  your work electronically, but the electronic 
version should not accompany the proof copy.  Upon acceptance of the 
paper, the source file(s) should be sent to the Providence office 
(this includes the \TeX{} source file, any graphics files, and, if the 
submission is for a camera-ready series, the DVI or PostScript file). 

Before sending the source file, be sure you have proofread your article or 
monograph carefully. The files that you send must be the EXACT files 
used to generate the proof copy that was accepted for publication. In 
order to avoid any possible production problems, before sending the 
files, be sure to reread the \textit{Checklist for Electronic 
Submissions} chapter  in this handbook.  If your submission is to be 
camera-ready, reread the section \textit{Guidelines for paging} and be 
sure that any necessary forms are sent along with your submission. 

For all publications, authors are required to send a printed copy of 
their paper, which exactly matches the copy approved for publication, 
along with any graphics that will appear in the paper, to 
the Publication Division. 

\TeX{} files may be submitted by e-mail, FTP, or on diskette. The DVI 
file(s) (for camera-ready submissions) and PostScript files 
should be submitted only by FTP or on diskette unless they are encoded properly
to submit through e-mail.  (DVI files are binary and PostScript files tend to
be very large.)
  
If you created your file(s) using \textit{Textures}, these files have two
components---the \TeX{} source code and the DVI  component.  You should use
DVItool to extract the DVI file.  Once you  have extracted the DVI file, you
can FTP it to the incoming directory  on e-MATH.  If you are unfamiliar with
this process, please send us  the file on a Macintosh disk, and we will extract
the DVI file for  you. 

\section*{Electronic mail submissions}
Files sent by electronic mail should be addressed to the Internet
address \linebreak\texttt{pub-submit@math.ams.org}.

The subject line of the message should use the publication code  to identify
the series or journal (see inside back cover for list of codes).  For a
monograph  include the name(s) of the author(s), and for an article in a 
proceedings include the name(s) of the editor(s). If one file has  been broken
into parts because of its large size, also identify the  part, ``part
\textit{n} of \textit{m}", in the subject line. By including  this information
in the subject line, you will help speed up the  processing of your submission. 

Submissions received through e-mail will be acknowledged 
upon receipt by an automatic reply while your submission is reviewed. 
If there are any problems with the file received, you will be 
notified. \textbf{Do not send DVI files by electronic mail} unless they 
have been appropriately encoded for this type of transmission. 


\section*{FTP submissions}
\TeX{} source files, DVI files, and PostScript files can 
be transferred  over the Internet by FTP to the Internet 
node {\texttt{e-math.ams.org}} (130.44.1.100) using the following 
instructions. 

Type \verb+ftp e-math.ams.org <return>+.  When you see  a message indicating
that a connection has been opened,  log in using the username
\texttt{anonymous}.  If your version of FTP is  now prompting you for a
\texttt{Name} or \texttt{Username}, simply type \texttt{anonymous}
\verb+<return>+.  Otherwise, type \texttt{login anonymous} \verb+<return>+. 
You will be  asked to enter a password; enter your e-mail address here and
press  \verb+<return>+. 


Once logged in, connect down to the directory ``incoming".  This  is    the
only directory in the FTP area that is open to write access.  Be    sure  to
set your mode to binary before you transfer the DVI or PostScript  file (see
sample FTP session on next page).   If a file already exists by the name that
you choose, you will not be  able to write to this directory. After the 
transfer is complete, you  must send mail to {\texttt{pub-submit@math.ams.org}}
to inform the AMS  staff of the transfer. In  your message tell us the name of 
the   file(s) you transferred, the  publication it is intended for, and the 
name of the editor of the  volume (if applicable). 

\section*{Diskette submissions} \TeX{} source files, DVI files, and PostScript
files can  be sent to the Publication Division on diskettes.  Diskettes of any
standard format and density appropriate  for either IBM PC-compatible or
Macintosh are acceptable.  Diskettes  should be labelled with your name, the
title of your paper or  monograph, and the publication for which it is
intended. 

If you are reusing a diskette, make sure that all irrelevant files 
that may remain from other work have been deleted.  Time spent by the 
production staff in trying to identify extra files will delay 
processing of your paper. 

A package containing a diskette should be clearly marked ``Floppy 
disk. Do not fold or bend.  Do not expose to electric motors or other 
magnetic fields.''  Mailers designed for diskette shipment are 
available from many sources; if you do not use a special mailer, 
cardboard or some other stiffener should be enclosed in the package 
for protection. 

Files received on diskette will be acknowledged as soon as possible 
after they are received.  If you have not received an acknowledgment 
within a reasonable amount of time (two weeks if you are located in  
North America; three weeks if in Europe, Australia, Japan, or South 
America; a month if you are in Eastern Europe or Asia), please 
inquire, writing to the same address to which you sent the diskette. 

\section*{Sample FTP and e-mail sessions}
\subsection*{Sample FTP session}
Below is a sample FTP session where the files
\linebreak\filnam{grey-ch1.tex} and \filnam{grey-ch1.dvi} are
transferred to e-MATH. Computer messages and prompts are shown in italic
text, and the commands that you will enter are shown in typewriter text.
\textbf{Note:} Different implementations of FTP work slightly
differently, so the messages and prompts you see will not necessarily be
identical to those listed below.

\chapter*{Checklist for Electronic Submissions}

\vspace*{-14pt}
\section*{Camera-ready and electronic manuscripts}
\vspace*{-3pt}
Some basic principles are important for effective handling of 
electronic submissions. Keep these principles in mind when preparing 
your files. 

\begin{itemize}

\item AMS style files contain commands to identify all the important 
features of mathematical papers and monographs; use them, not 
commands you define yourself. 

\item Do not redefine any plain \TeX{}, \LaTeX{}, \AMSTeX{}, or 
\AMSLaTeX{} command. 

\item Put definitions for frequently occurring phrases or 
mathematical expressions together in the preamble section, before the 
start of the text of the manuscript.  Once a macro is created for an 
expression, you should use it for every occurrence of that 
expression. 

\item Every file should be able to be processed independently; do not 
use ``input'' files, but instead include the contents of any such 
files in the main source file.  \AMSLaTeX{} monographs are an 
exception to this policy when driver files are used to produce an 
entire volume. 

\item Use \TeX{} coding for special fonts (e.g., boldface or italic) 
only within the text of the manuscript; do not use such coding for 
any headings or predefined environments, e.g., theorems, etc. 

\item Citations in the manuscript should be coded using \verb+\cite+.

\item References should include all available information; use the 
abbreviations of journals and book series in \cite{ASMR}.

\item The research address or institutional affiliation, current 
address (if different), and e-mail address of each author should be 
included.

\item Proofread your paper thoroughly and carefully.

\end{itemize}

\vspace*{-6pt}
\section*{Electronic manuscripts only}
\vspace*{-3pt}
\begin{itemize}
\item Do not use \TeX{} coding to control line and page breaks. Lines 
and pages will break differently in the published paper from the way 
they  break in the file you submit.   If you insert \TeX{} coding for 
page and line breaks, it will have to be removed for production.  
That work could offset any time saved by your keyboarding the  
manuscript, and any change to your \TeX{} file creates a small chance 
of additional errors being introduced. 

\item Likewise, avoid explicit horizontal and vertical spacing 
commands. 

\end{itemize}

\enlargethispage*{53pc}
\vspace*{-6pt}
\section*{Camera-ready submissions only}
\vspace*{-3pt}
\begin{itemize}

\item Check this handbook and the \textit{Instructions} document of your 
author package to be sure that you have followed the appropriate 
instructions.

\item Check your final output for page and line breaks; make sure 
that all text and equations are within the margins (see \textit{Strategy 
for line and page breaking} in \cite{ALG} if you are using \AMSLaTeX). 
Enter additional line or page breaks following the guidelines in the 
section \textit{Guidelines for paging}. 

\item Submit your DVI and/or PostScript file(s) along with all related 
\TeX{} and encapsulated PostScript graphics files. (Contact AMS
Technical Support for further details if you want to submit your entire 
article in PostScript format.)  The \TeX{} file will be archived. Your 
work will be printed directly from your output file.

\end{itemize}
    
\chapter*{Quick Start\\ for Obtaining and Using Author Packages}

\leavevmode
\chaptermark{Quick Start for Obtaining and Using Author Packages}%
The purpose of this `Quick Start' is to help you get an author 
package and start using it as quickly as possible. To use an author 
package, you need to have the most recent version of \AmS-\TeX{} or 
\AmS-\LaTeX{} already installed; you can get these by FTP from e-MATH. 
If you will be getting more than one author package, complete Step 4 before 
getting another package; otherwise, files may be overwritten in Step 
2. In Steps 1 through 4, you will FTP an author package from e-MATH 
and install it on your system. The lists of \AmS-\TeX{} and 
\AmS-\LaTeX{} commands in this Handbook help you use the package to 
prepare your files so the time needed to publish your work is shortened. 

\leftmargini1.25pc
\leftmarginii2pc

\begin{description}
\item[STEP 1] \textbf{Log into e-MATH}

First, type:
                \verb+ftp e-math.ams.org   <return>+

When you see a message indicating that a connection has been opened, you need
to log in using the username \texttt{anonymous}.  If your version of FTP is now
prompting you for a Name or Username, simply type \texttt{anonymous}
\verb+<return>+.  Otherwise, type \texttt{login anonymous} and hit 
\verb+<return>+.

You will be asked to enter a password; enter your name here and press 
\verb+<return>+.

\item[STEP 2] \textbf{Get Author Package}

\begin{enumerate}
\item Connect to the directory by typing:

\texttt{cd /pub/author-info/packages/conm-m/amstex} 

(Use the codes on the back cover of this  handbook to replace 
\texttt{conm-m} with the code 
for the specific publication you want; change \texttt{amstex} to 
\texttt{amslatex} if appropriate.)

\item Enter \texttt{pwd} to make sure that Step 1 was successful.

\item Enter \texttt{dir} to see how many files are in the directory. (optional)

\item Connect to the directory on your computer where the files will go, using
the \texttt{lcd} command. (\textbf{Note:} The format in which you type the
directory name  should be the normal format in which you type it on your
operating system.)

\item Enter \texttt{lpwd} to make sure that Step 3 was successful.

\item Enter \texttt{mget *.*}

\item Enter \texttt{ldir} to be sure that all the files were copied. 
(optional)
\end{enumerate}

\item[STEP 3] \textbf{Exit e-MATH}

To exit FTP simply type \texttt{exit}\ \verb+<return>+.

Questions concerning the above files can be sent to: 
\texttt{tech-support@\linebreak math.ams.org}.  Reports of 
problems in accessing the e-MATH system itself should be sent to: 
\texttt{support@e-math.ams.org}. 


\item[STEP 4] \textbf{Install} the style files in the directory where you have
\texttt{ amsppt.sty}. (If you use \AMSLaTeX, install the style files in the 
directory where you have \texttt{amsart.cls}, \texttt{amsproc.cls}, and
\texttt{amsbook.cls}.) 

\eject
\item[STEP 5] \textbf{\TeX{} and Print}
\begin{enumerate}
\item Print the \texttt{READ-*.ME} file.
\item \TeX{} and print all *.tex files in the package.
\end{enumerate}

\item[STEP 6] If you do not know whether your submission is an
electronic manuscript or a camera-ready submission, contact the
Publication Division at \texttt{pub@\linebreak math.ams.org}. Once you
obtain this information follow the appropriate guidelines in this
handbook.
  
\item[STEP 7] \textbf{Read} the \textit{Checklist for Electronic Submissions}
in this handbook and the \textit{Instructions} you printed in Step 5; use
the  *.top files as templates and the *.tex files as examples.

\item[STEP 8] \textbf{Coding}

\begin{itemize}
\item AMS style files contain commands to identify all the important 
features of mathematical papers and monographs; use them, not 
commands you define yourself.  Quick reference lists of these commands are
given on the following two pages.

\item Do not redefine any plain \TeX{}, \LaTeX{}, \AMSTeX{}, or 
\AMSLaTeX{} command. 

\item Put definitions for frequently occurring phrases or 
mathematical expressions together in the preamble section, before the 
start of the text of the manuscript.  Once a macro is created for an 
expression, you should use it for every occurrence of that 
expression. 

\item Use \TeX{} coding for special fonts (e.g., boldface or italic) 
only within the text of the manuscript; do not use such coding for 
any headings or predefined environments, e.g., theorems, etc. 
\end{itemize}

Theorems and similar structures are treated as environments in \LaTeX.
Three different theorem styles are provided by \AMSLaTeX: \verb+plain+,
\verb+definition+, and \verb+remark+.  By referring to these styles and
using the \ttcs{newtheorem} command, an author can build a complement
of theorem environments appropriate for any paper or monograph.  The
use of these commands is described in the \textit{\AMSLaTeX{} User's
Guide}\ \cite{ALG}.  All \ttcs{newtheorem} specifications
should be included in the preamble.

The following list summarizes the types of structures which are
appropriate for use with each style.
