<p>Dr. William F. Ames was the dedicated
Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Mathematical Analysis and
Applications (JMAA) during 1991-2006. He passed away in 2008. The family
of Dr. Ames has now donated a substantial sum to honour Dr. Ames'
contributions to mathematics and the JMAA.</p>
<p>Elsevier, Publisher of the JMAA, has
donated a matching sum. The combined account, The JMAA Ames Award Fund,
is now entrusted with and managed by the American Mathematical Society.</p>
<p>The Editors of the JMAA have decided
that the most appropriate recognition of Bill Ames' many years of
outstanding service to the Journal is to establish two awards in pure
and applied mathematics, to be made on a yearly basis.</p>
<p>Each award will be $2,500. In each
case, this sum is to be divided equally among the coauthors of a paper,
published during the previous year, that is deemed to be of major
interest and of high quality. The decision on these two awards will be
made by the Editorial Board of the JMAA.</p>
<p>JMAA presents mathematical papers
that treat classical analysis and its numerous applications. It is
published semimonthly to serve the mathematical and scientific
communities.</p></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table>
