The Group also includes engineers and scientists, students as well as experts. We have around 140 members scattered about in more than 20 countries. Whatever your specialty might be, we welcome your participation in this classical, and yet modern, topic. Our WWW home page is: http://math.nist.gov/opsf/ This is a convenient point of entry to all the services provided by the Group. Our Webmaster is Bonita Saunders (bonita.saunders@nist.gov). The Activity Group sponsors OP-SF NET, which is transmitted periodically by SIAM. It is provided as a free public service; membership in SIAM is not required. The OP-SF Net Editor is Martin Muldoon (muldoon@yorku.ca). To receive the OP-SF NET, send your name and email address to poly-request@siam.org. Back issues can be obtained at the WWW addresses: http://staff.science.uva.nl/~thk/opsfnet http://www.math.ohio-state.edu/JAT/DATA/OPSFNET/opsfnet.html http://math.nist.gov/opsfnet/archive For several years the Activity Group sponsored a printed Newsletter, most recently edited by Rafael Yanez. Back issues are accessible at: http://www.mathematik.uni-kassel.de/~koepf/siam.html Given the widespread availability of email and the Internet, the need for the printed Newsletter has decreased. Discussions are underway concerning whether an annual printed Newsletter or Annual Report should be instituted. SIAM has several categories of membership, including low-cost categories for students and residents of developing countries. For current information on SIAM and Activity Group membership, contact: Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics 3600 University City Science Center Philadelphia, PA 19104-2688 USA phone: +1-215-382-9800 email: service@siam.org WWW : http://www.siam.org http://www.siam.org/membership/outreachmem.htm Finally, the Activity Group operates an email discussion group, called OP-SF Talk.
