Wolfram Research, Inc. proudly announces that applications are now 
being accepted for the 1999-2000 Mathematica Visiting Scholar Grant 
Program. Since 1995, many researchers, scientists, and developers  from
around the world have received Visiting Scholar Grants.

Mathematica Visiting Scholar Grants are awarded to professionals 
working on Mathematica-related projects that Wolfram Research  believes
will make a dramatic impact in the grant recipients' chosen  fields or
have potential commercial value. Wolfram Research is  committed to
working with a variety of technical professionals in  order to serve
both corporate and academic communities in  engineering, finance,
physics, mathematics, and other specialized  areas.

Projects eligible for consideration include the following.
* Application packages
* High school and/or college courseware
* Mathematica-related books and textbooks
* Significant contributions to the MathSource library of Mathematica software
* Other Mathematica-related projects

Grant recipients are invited to spend up to eight weeks at Wolfram 
Research's corporate headquarters in Champaign, Illinois, to work 
toward the completion of their projects. During this time, visiting 
scholars have the opportunity to consult directly with Wolfram 
Research staff as well as to collaborate with other grant  recipients.

Wolfram Research provides a fellowship to cover travel expenses and 
offers living arrangements, office space, and the use of a Windows  or
Macintosh computer during the visit. Each grant recipient also 
receives a copy of the Mathematica software package on the  recipient's
platform of choice.

The deadline for applications for the 1999-2000 Mathematica Visiting 
Scholar Grants is March 1, 1999. Each recipient's visit must be 
completed by March 31, 2000.
