D10 proceedings manuscript preparation
Dear DD10 Author:
thank you very much for your paper for DD10 proceedings. The proceedings
will be published by the American Mathematical Society (AMS) in the
Contemporary Mathematics series. If the first version of your manuscript
was prepared in LaTeX 2e according to the
call for papers
, it will be easy
to convert to the AMS style.
Please send the
final manustcript following the instructions below
no later than February 20, 1998.
The manuscript will be reviewed for conformance with the requirements of the
respective editor and the referees' comments. We may make minor
formatting and stylistic changes. We will post the final Postscript file
and send you the URL in lieu of proofs.
The camera ready manuscript of the whole
book is due at the publisher shortly after the deadline. For this reason, we
regret that we will not be able to include in the book any final
manuscripts
that arrive after the deadline, did not make the changes required by the
respective editor or the referees, or require more time
than we may
have at hand for work needed
because the instructions below were not followed exactly.
To help us spread the load (and help your own paper should it need some
work), please send us your paper as soon as you can. We will send you
a reminder several days before the deadline if your final manuscript has not
been received by then.
Please send all correspondence regarding the proceedings to
dd10@math.cudenver.edu.
Again, thanks for contributing to the
success of the conference and the proceedings.
Jan Mandel

Instructions for preparation of the final manuscript
Please following these instructions for preparation of
the final manuscript.
Whenever the instructions differ from what is said in AMS publications,
these instructions are the rule.
- Prepare the manuscript in in AMS-LaTeX using the
Contemporary Mathematics Proceedings (conm-p-l) style.
style, as a single .tex file.
-
Follow the AMS guidelines for Camera Ready Electronic
Submission in the
AMS Author Handbook
and
Instructions for Preparation of Papers and Monographs: AMS-LaTeX
except as specified in these instructions.
- Prepare your bibliography using BibTeX and refer to it
using the \cite command. Use the amsplain bibliography style.
- Include graphics using the packages
epsf or psfig. Do not use color images, they may not come our well in
black and white print. Avoid bitmap graphics if possible; if you do use
bitmaps, use the highest resolution possible up to 1200dpi.
- Place all figures and tables on top of the page or on a page with
figures and tables only.
- Place captions below figures and above tables. The caption should
not be part of a figure. Instead, it should be
generated by the \caption command.
- Do not use any other macro packages, define any new commands except for
frequently used formulas, redefine any TeX and LaTeX commands,
reset any LaTeX parameters, such as spacings, page size, or margins, or override any LaTeX defaults.
Do not define any fonts or use any explicit formatting. Instead,
use the AMS-LaTeX environments and sectioning commands.
In particular, please do not
use any TeX commands such as \vspace, \hspace, \cr, \centerline, \eqno,
etc.
- Use \label and \ref to refer to the
numbers of sections, equations, figures, tables etc.
- Do not include an abstract; instead, have the first paragraph of the
introduction summarize the contents of the paper.
- Please try to fill at least 50% of the last page.
It is OK to add an extra paragraph, picture, or table
in the final version if it helps.
Check carefully for anything that may require changing the
page breaks, such as a single line ending a paragraph at the top of
a page, or a heading with less than
two lines of text following it at the bottom of a page. It is especially
important
that you correct any such page break problems if you fill more than 75% of the
last page.
- Do not send the final manuscript to the AMS. Instead,
- ftp math.cudenver.edu, user anonymous, password guest
- cd /pub/dd10/incoming
- make a directory named after the first author and
cd to the directory
- use binary transmission mode (ftp> bin)
- put the source .tex file, the source .bib file
for BibTeX
with all references (and no others), all Postscript files for
pictures, as well as all files produced by AMS-LaTeX and BibTeX,
and the final .ps (Postscript) file.
(Check
a sample ftp submission .)
- send mail to dd10@math.cudenver.edu to alert us about the
transmission. Include in your message
the name of the directory where you put the files,
a list of the files with their sizes (output of ls -l is fine),
all authors of the paper, and the title (at least abbreviated)
-
Alternatively, you can ftp us a compressed tar file containing all files.
If you cannot use ftp for some reason, you may send a uuencoded tar file by
email to dd10@math.cudenver.edu,
or all files as MIME attachments to a single email message. In any case,
include in your email message all names of the authors and the title of the paper.
We apologize we cannot accept
files sent in any other manner because of the large amount of work involved.
- The receipt of your files will be confirmed by email. Do not consider
the files received by us until you get a confirmation.
- If you use work of someone else in your paper, including pictures,
please contact the copyright holder about a written permission right away,
and acknowledge the origin of the work in your paper. The written permission
will be required by AMS before the book may be published. See page 2 of the
Handbook.
- Please make sure your final manuscript is really final. Do not send us
multiple versions with "some typos corrected." We cannot guarantee we will
be able to use the version you want.
How to get the AMS style files and publications
You can download the author package from this site as a tar file
(conm-p-l.tar),
or a gzip compressed tar file
(conm-p-l.tar.gz). The tar files will extract into the current directory.
If tar is not available on your system, you
can also retrieve the files one by one
(READ-P.ME,
article.tex,
article.top,
conm-p-l.cls,
conm-p-l.sup,
handbk-l.tex,
instr-l.tex).
This is the same author package as available
from the AMS .
If not already installed on your system, AMS-LaTeX is also available
from the AMS .
Detailed instructions for manustcript preparation are contained in
two AMS publications, which are contained in the author package, and
can be also viewed from here as Postscript files for convenience:
AMS Author Handbook
(file handbk-l.tex) and
Instructions for Preparation of Papers and Monographs: AMS-LaTeX
(file instr-l.tex).
Hints
The following hints should be helpful.
- Read carefully page 8 of the Handbook and
use the "Checklist
for Electronic Submissions" on page 21 of the Handbook.
- Spell check the document. It is surprising how many people do not do that.
- Update the bibliography. Check if any references listed as reports,
to appear, or in print, have appeared yet.
- The file article.tex in the author package is a sample article.
Follow the usage there.
-
You will need to have some additional AMS files that
are usually installed on your system with a tex distribution.
If something is missing, try a different machine to compile your
source tex file.
-
To include postscript pictures in your document, use either epsf or psfig
package. For example, include the line
\usepackage{epsf,psfig}
right after \documentclass{conm-p-l} and then in the text
\begin{figure}[h]
\begin{center}
\epsfbox{figure.eps}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
or
\begin{figure}
\leavevmode\psfig{figure=mesh.ps,angle=90,width=2.75in,height=6.3in}
\end{figure}
to insert postscript or encapsulated postscript in your tex file.
- LaTeX 2e may not treat right the command $$ for displayed formulas.
Use \[ and \] instead.
- To generate caligraphic letters in math mode, use \mathcal{}.
