Copies of the paper and the abstract should be retained by the author and brought for use at the time of the Conference.
Every paper submitted for presentation should be classified, as far as possible, according to the following classification scheme / codes and the same should be prominently displayed before the abstract.
(A) Combinatorics, Graph Theory and Discrete Mathematics.
(B) Algebra, Number Theory and Lattice Theory.
(C) Real and Complex Analysis (including Special Functions, Summability and Trans- forms).
(D) Functional Analysis.
(E) Differential / Integral / and Functional Equations.

(L) Electromagnetic Theory, Magneto-Hydrodynamics, Astronomy and Astrophysics.
(M) Bio-Mathematics.
(N) History and Teaching of Mathematics.
Every author intending to present a paper should either be a member of the Society or should register himself / herself as a Sessional Member. In the case of joint authors, both the authors must be either members or should become Sessional Members. Non- members wishing to become Annual members can do so by paying Rs. 250/-. Those wishing to become Sessional Members can also do so by paying Rs. 250/-. The amount can be paid by check/DD (payable at par) drawn in favor of “Indian Mathematical Society”. The check/DD should be sent to Prof. S. K. Nimbhorkar, Department of Mathematics, Dr. B. A. M. University, Aurangabad-431004 (Maharashtra), so as to reach him by November 15, 2018. After this date, applications for becoming a Sessional member will be accepted only at the venue of the Conference at Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University (SMVDU), Jammu during November 27-30, 2018.
Acceptance of a paper for presentation does not automatically imply its acceptance for publication in the Journal of the Indian Mathematical Society or in The Mathematics Student. In case an author wants a paper to be considered for publication in either of these periodicals, he/she should submit the same separately to the Editor concerned.

M. Shah Prize: Real Analysis, Complex Analysis, Fourier Analysis, Harmonic Analysis, Approximation Theory and related areas.
Three/Four judges are appointed by the Council for the “Paper Presentation Competition” for deciding the award of various Prizes. Each of these eight prizes listed above carries a Certificate and a cash amount of Rs.1000/-.
The following conditions apply:
- Only the Members of the Society are eligible for participation in the Competition.
- The upper age limit of a candidate for participation in the Competition is 40 years as on December 31 of the respective year.
- a. The paper to be presented for the competition has to be under single authorship.
b. Independent work at the post-doctoral level is preferred.
c. The work must have been carried out in India.
d. Stress will be on both, quality of research as well as performance during the presentation. - Soft copy of the full paper with the abstract (not exceeding 250 words) in its electronic version (.pdf and .text format) should reach Prof. Peeyush Chandra on the e-mail address given earlier not later than September 20; 2018. Candidates should also submit their latest CV and the proof of their age (scanned copy of high school certificate will do) along with the paper.
Note: One who is already awarded a prize in a certain area in the past is not expected to participate in the competition for the prize in the same area.
Poster Presentation:
There shall be poster presentation sessions on the themes of the symposia arranged at the venues of the respective symposia. All interested scholars should send the Abstract along with full paper to Convener of the symposium as well as to Academic Secretary acadsecrims@gmail.com. There after the conveners will opine on the suitability of the work for Poster presentation and based on the recommendation of the convener of the symposium, Academic Secretary will convey the acceptance to the contributor.
