Please see NEW PICTURES from the last conference available on ?Bridges in Pictures? at the Bridges Website (http://www.sckans.edu/~bridges/).
The conference will feature presentations of regular, plenary, and short papers. These will all be selected from the pool of submitted papers. Regular and plenary presentations require an 8-page regular paper; short presentations require a 2-page short paper. The regular presentations will be given a 30-minute time slot. The best papers, or the ones that promise to appeal to the largest part of the audience, will be selected for plenary presentations in a 45-minute time slot. Regular papers should ideally be 8 pages long, but can be extended to 10 or 12 pages if the content warrants the extra length. Authors will be charged $50 for each 2-page extension. The short presentations will be given a 20-minute time slot. The Conference plans to publish refereed proceedings to be distributed at the conference. Thus, there is a tight and firm schedule: Deadline for paper submissions for review: February 1, 2004. Submit five paper copies to: Professor Reza Sarhangi, Bridges Conference, Mathematics Department, Towson University, 8000 York Road, Towson, MD 21252; or send a formatted electronic copy in PDF format to: rsarhangi@towson.edu
It is strongly suggested (but not strictly necessary), that even the first submission of the paper be as close to the recommended preparation guidelines as possible, so that the reviewers can judge more easily what the final version will look like.

The Bridges Mathematical Visual Art Exhibit
The Bridges Conference will be complemented by an exhibit of mathematical art. This exhibit will be held in the President Gallery and the Rehearsal Room close to the Messenger Auditorium, the main Bridges lecture room, which is located in Darbeth Fine Arts Center, at Southwestern College. Presenters of papers accepted to the proceedings are invited to bring artwork related to their presentations. Artists interested in exhibiting some work without giving a presentation must still submit a two-page description of their work accompanied by suitable images, and undergo a refereeing process. Items submitted to the exhibit should be “polished” and presented in a manner consistent with art gallery display.
Due to space constraints, please limit all flat works to no more than 24″ x 36″, and 3-D works to no more than 24″ x 24″ x 24″. (Special arrangements can be made in extraordinary circumstances). Artworks should be easily hung or set up; help will be available for hanging. Works should be hand delivered to the exhibit room on Thursday July 29, 2003 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. The exhibit participants are also responsible to ship their works back. Help will be provided in this regard.
Please note that if you would like to participate in the ?Bridges Mathematical Visual Art Exhibit,? even if you don?t want to give a presentation, you need to submit a short paper that includes your proposed images for the exhibit. If you are going to submit a regular or short paper for your presentation that includes images for the exhibit, then you do not need to submit a separate paper in this regard. For more information in this regard please contact the Visual Art Exhibit coordinator:Professor Carlo S
