NOTES ON POSTERS


        The area available for each poster is 3 feet by 3 feet.
Posters are to be attached by VELCRO.  We will supply all necessary
materials to attach your posters when you arrive.  Please display your
poster for the indicated half-day and be at your poster during the
indicated period (25 or 30 mins, depending on the day) of this half-day.

        For pure posters, ie Monday and Tuesday, there is a vast
amount of space for posters remaining and you may well find that you
have a double area (6 by 3 feet) for your poster, but don't count on
it.  All pure posters are offered a second exposure (Wednesday in the
Arts Centre).  For this repeat session, space is limited and you will
have to fit into the 3 by 3 space on this day.  We encourage further
poster applications and we will accept applications right up to (and
perhaps even beyond) the deadline of 18 March.  

	Regarding the applied contributions, ie Thursday and Friday,
we have received 115 requests for talks but have only 52 slots
available (beyong the 44 allocated to minisymposia) despite running
 six parallel sessions; hence we've assigned many of the 115 a poster
slot instead.  In selecting the 52 talks out of 115, we have followed
BAMC tradition and given priority to students.  We're sorry that it is
not possible to accommodate everyone's preference; we did include a
warning on the registration form that talk time would be limited
because of the nature of this year's joint meeting, and poster
requests were encouraged instead.

	We will be giving considerably more prominence to posters than
previous BMC/BAMCs and are trusting that both poster-givers and
participants will make the poster sessions an equal success to the
talk sessions.  We particularly look to senior people to take a lead
in this.  Note that SIAM is sponsoring a prize for the best applied
student talk and the best applied student poster (Princeton University
Press are doing the same for the Pure side).

	There remains space for about 100 applied posters and we'll
accept applications up until 18 March. We encourage you to consider
giving a second poster if you wish. 

Note that we are offering DOUBLE EXPOSURE to some posters, which will
be displayed on the overlap day (Wednesday) as well as another day;
for this we have chosen topics which (i) resonate with one of the
Wednesday discussion sessions; or (ii) are on the pure side of applied
mathematics (like the random matrices posters, and or for the applied
side of pure maths such as Qunatum Phenomena); or (iii) a selection of
theoretical mechanics posters, in recognition of the BAMC's origins as
the British Theoretical Mechanics Colloquium.  In particular, all
poster sessions associated with the sessions Fluids (1--3),
Micromechanics of Solids, Mathematical Biology (1&2), Dynamical
Systems and PDEs, will also be on display on the "overlap day"
Wednesday. As this day will occur at a different location from the
remainder of the conference, those with double exposure will also have
to put up their posters twice; we hope this extra work is more than
compensated for by the extra exposure.


Please email:

bamc@maths.warwick.ac.uk

if (i) you wish to change your registration details now your talk/poster
time(s) have been assigned; or (ii) you are down for two poster sessions
but can not be there for one of them.  Please use the same e-mail
address to communicate a second poster title and abstract if you wish
to give one. 


We look forward to seeing you in April,


Robert MacKay, Colin Rourke and Andrew Stuart
