The web address for secure ordering is included in all promotions. The books are priced for individuals. Although we have standing orders from libraries, individuals in the mathematical, statistical computer science, scientific, and engineering communities are our most important asset and we want our publications to be affordable for them. The ASA-SIAM series is a service to our members and the books are available whenever they are needed. All books in the series will remain in print until replaced by an updated version.
Many publishers place the burden of proofreading on the author.
We have full-time copy editors in house who are familiar with mathematical and statistical notation. When a book is purchased from a society, the revenue is used to foster new programs and products for society members. Flexibility Our staff works with authors and editors to accommodate special needs such as modified typesetting systems and unusual formatting. All books are shipped directly from either the ASA or SIAM office. This means that fulfillment of orders takes place within 48 hours of receipt.
