Awards
The AMS Midwest Chapter offers two annual prizes for outstanding student papers read at its meetings. Students wishing to compete for the annual prizes offered by Indiana University Press and A-R Editions, Inc. should submit their final text as an email attachment to the chair of the program committee, no later than one week prior to the meeting at which the paper will be read.
