half-price registration is also available for participants in certain

Posters and Proposals still being accepted
------------------------------------------

It is now too late to get a paper accepted for the Proceedings. However,
and contrary to previous announcements, we are still accepting posters, and
proposals for special sessions. The deadline for these has been extended to
April 20 2003.

The Symposium
-------------

The International Mathematica Symposium is an interdisciplinary conference
for users of Mathematica in research, education, industry and commerce.
Held every two years, it returns to England in 2003 for the first time
since its inception in 1995.

The Symposium is refereed, and a published Proceedings is produced for each
conference.

If you use Mathematica in research or with students, or if you have
developed or are developing products based on Mathematica, then the
Symposium is an opportunity to share your results with like-minded
colleagues. IMS has also built up a deserved reputation as an exceptionally
convivial and friendly gathering. In 2003 it will be held at Imperial
College, in the heart of the great city of London.

The Symposium will run from 7-11 July, with optional pre- and
post-conference training sessions.  College accommodation is available, and
special rates with local hotels have been agreed.

Registration will be from 260 pounds sterling, with rooms available from 33
pounds nightly. Grants and subsidies are avaiable for participants in
certain categories (please see website).
