2. Papers should be sent by registered post with the words “For the 79th IMS Annual Conference” written in a box on the left hand top corner of the envelope to The Academic Secretary, Prof. A. K. Srivastava, Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi- 221005 (UP), so as to reach him not later than October 31, 2013 (after which date no paper will be accepted). See also 4. and 5 in the following. An E-mail address must be mentioned in the address of the author in the paper.

3. A stamped self-addressed envelope should be enclosed for the acknowledgement / acceptance of the paper for its presentation at the Conference.

4. A copy of the abstract and the paper must also be sent electronically (in .pdf format) to the Academic Secretary Prof. A. K. Srivastava at his e-mail address : arunksrivastava@gmail.com

5. A copy of the paper and the abstract should be retained by the author and brought for use at the time of the Conference as it would not be possible for the Society to make the paper available at the Conference.

6. Every paper submitted for presentation should be classified, as far as possible, according to the following classification scheme / codes and the same should be prominently displayed in red ink on the left hand top corner of the abstract. (A) Combinatorics, Graph Theory and Discrete Mathematics. (B) Algebra, Number Theory and Lattice Theory. (C) Real and Complex Analysis (including Special Functions, Summability and Transforms). (D) Functional Analysis. (E) Differential / Integral / and Functional Equations. (F) Geometry. (G) Topology. (H) Measure Theory, Probability Theory and Stochastic Processes, and Information Theory. (I) Numerical Analysis, Approximation Theory and Computer Science. (J) Operations Research. (K) Solid Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, Geophysics and Relativity. (L) Electromagnetic Theory, Magneto-Hydrodynamics, Astronomy and Astrophysics. (M) Bio-Mathematics. (N) History and Teaching of Mathematics.

Every author intending to present a paper should either be a member of the Society or should register himself / herself as a Sessional Member. In the case of joint authors, both the authors must be either members or should become Sessional Members.

Non-members wishing to become Annual members can do so by paying Rs. 250/- Those wishing to become Sessional Members can also do so by paying Rs. 250/-. The amount can be paid to the Treasurer, Prof. S. K. Nimbhorkar, Department of Mathematics, Dr. B. A. M. University, Aurangabad - 431 004 (MS) by sending a Bank Draft drawn in favour of the Indian Mathematical Society payable at Aurangabad (Maharashtra), so as to reach him by December 10, 2013.

After this date, applications for becoming a Sessional member will be accepted only at the venue of the Conference at Rajagiri School of Engineering and Technology, Rajagiri Valley, Cochin during December 28-31, 2013.

Acceptance of a paper for presentation does not automatically imply its acceptance for publication in the Journal of the Indian Mathematical Society or in The Mathematics Student. In case an author wants a paper to be considered for publication in either of these periodicals, he/she should submit the same separately to the Editor concerned.
