MISSION STATEMENT



     The purpose of Solstice is to promote interaction between geography



and mathematics. Articles in which elements of one discipline are used to



shed light on the other are particularly sought.  Also welcome are



original contributions that are purely geographical or purely



mathematical.  These may be prefaced (by editor or author) with commentary



suggesting directions that might lead toward the desired interactions.



Individuals wishing to submit articles or other material should contact an



editor, or send e-mail directly to sarhaus@umich.edu.







SOLSTICE ARCHIVES



     Back issues of Solstice are available on the WebSite of the Institute



of Mathematical Geography, http://www.imagenet.org and at various sites



that can be found by searching under "Solstice" on the World Wide Web.



Thanks to Bruce Long (Arizona State University, Department of Mathematics)



for taking an early initiative in archiving Solstice using GOPHER.







PUBLICATION INFORMATION



     The electronic files are issued yearly as copyrighted hardcopy in the



Monograph Series of the Institute of Mathematical Geography.  This



material will appear in a Volume in that series, ISBN to be announced.



To order hardcopy, and to obtain current price lists, write to the



Editor-in-Chief of Solstice at 1964 Boulder Drive, Ann Arbor, MI 48104, or

     Suggested form for citation:  cite the hardcopy.  To cite the



electronic copy, note the exact time of transmission from Ann Arbor, and



cite all the transmission matter as facts of publication.  Any copy that



does not superimpose precisely upon the original as transmitted from Ann



Arbor should be presumed to be an altered, bogus copy of Solstice.  The



oriental rug, with errors, serves as the model for creating this weaving



of words and graphics.
