                      Welcome to the Ulam Quarterly


The Ulam Quaterly is an electronic journal, which means that 
papers are submitted to editors and refereed as with any other journal

*********************   Scope and Aims  *************************

Editorial Statement -

     The Ulam Quarterly is dedicated to the universal 
character of Stanislaw Ulam's scientific interests. 
These interests led him to make contributions 
in logic, set theory, measure theory, probability theory, 
computer science, 
topology, dynamical systems, number theory, algebra, algebraic and 
arithmetic geometry, mathematical biology, control theory, 
mathematical economics, and 
mathematical physics, as well as scientific interests in peaceful 
applications 
of space exploration and fusion. In this spirit the Ulam Quarterly 
is devoted to the publication of original research and 
open problems in all areas of mathematics.

     Submissions should be sent to the Editor-in-Chief. 
They will be refereed according to current mathematical and scientific 
practices and, upon acceptance, transcribed to a uniform format. 
The charge for electronic 
typesetting is levied to the author in a page charge of $11 per page. 
In cases of hardship this page charge is waived. 
Access to publication in the journal
is not discriminatory according to race, creed, color, nationality or 
gender. Contributions are encouraged from all in the international 
mathematics community. 

     Primarily the journal is published electronically at no 
cost to the subscriber. Bound paper versions are available from the 
Editor-in-Chief at a nominal cost.

*********************************************************************
If you have a Postscript printer, downloading the Postscript files for
direct printing would be the preferred method for getting a 
quick print.

If you choose to download the .tex files then you need to  
know the following:
	1. They are written in amstex.
	2. You will need to download file
		 ulam.tex (contains various macros and TeX
                          formatting instructioins to produce
                          the articles)

to do the processing
	3. Due to differences in fonts between systems, 
           you may get some 
           "overful \hbox"  errors. 
           These can be ignored and the blackboxes
	   normally appearing with these will not print.


For those who would like to retrieve Issue 1 in its entirety,
you can download the file issue1-1992.tex or the file
issue1-1992.ps, following the instructions above. Please note
that, if you choose to download issue1-1992.tex, you will also
still need to download the file ulam.tex, as above.

The files are compiled using AMS TeX (version 2.0, including
the AMS TeX font package version 2.0)
