supplemental material, is transferred from the Author(s) of the Work to the AMS at the time it is accepted

final print and/or digitally published form.

necessary based on the experiences gained under its use and/or changes In the law. The AMS Publications

nowever, must approve all such policies. This document supersedes all previous AMS copyright policies 
and any related statements.
