MSC2000
(The 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification)

This is the draft version of MSC2000, the year 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification (MSC), which results from a revision of the 1991 MSC by the editors of Mathematical Reviews and Zentralblatt für Mathematik. Both journals plan to use MSC2000 as their classification system beginning in 2000.

The editors are grateful for the many comments and suggestions for changes they have received from the mathematical community during the revision process. In drawing up the revision, the editors have taken account of both the need for stability in the classification, which is especially important for literature searches over long spans of years, and the need to make changes to accommodate recent developments in mathematical research.

Comments on the proposed revision may be submitted any time before June 15, 1998. The preferred method of communication is by e-mail:

msc2000@ams.org

or

msc2000@zblmath.fiz-karlsruhe.de

The final version of the revised classification, MSC2000, will be presented to the community at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin on August 24, 1998.
