- I.e., never. On a slightly related note...
-
- The future, long delayed, finally seems to be coming. There is a new math
- journal, the Ulam Quarterly, that is available FREE online in either
- AMS-TeX or Postscript form. This wonderful idea is due to the math
- department of Palm Beach Atlantic College, with support from the
- University of Florida. Kind of ironic how such a smart move is being
- made, not by the hidebound Ivy League schools, but this school I'd never
- heard of. (Sorry, Palm Beach Atlantic College! I've heard of you
- now!) "The first two issues include a significant and unpublished work
- of N. Jacobson and an interpreation of Grothendieck's prenotes for EGA V
- on Bertini type theorems. The Ulam Quarterly is available using
- anonymous FTP from math.ufl.edu or goliath.pbac.edu in the directory
- pub/ulam/volume1. For more information contact Piotr Blass,
- blass@goliath.pbac.edu."
-
- I hope this journal is received enthusiastically and I hope everyone
- helps popularize this kind of journal, which may put pressure on paper
- journals to reduce their prices.
