                           29th Annual Meeting of the
                      Society for MATHEMATICAL PSYCHOLOGY

       1-4 August 1996, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC


Dear Colleague,

It is our pleasure to invite you to the University of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill for the 29th ANNUAL MEETING OF THE SOCIETY FOR MATHEMATICAL PSYCHOLOGY.
The meeting will begin on the morning of August 2 and continue until mid-day
on August 4, 1996.  We have arranged an informal meeting place during the
evening of August 1 for participants who arrive on that day.

On behalf of Ido Erev, David Budescu, and Rami Zwick, we also invite you to a
WORKSHOP ON GAMES AND BEHAVIOR in honor of Amnon Rapoport that will
immediately follow the Mathematical Psychology Meeting.  The workshop will
begin on the afternoon of Sunday, August 4 and will conclude on the afternoon
of Monday, August 5.

The submitted abstracts suggest excellent meetings, and we hope you will be
able to attend.  An innovation to the Mathematical Psychology Meeting this
year is the addition of a poster session each afternoon in conjunction with a
long break in the paper sessions.  Consequently, there will be many more
presentations than usual, but without disrupting the relaxed flow of
activities.

Please register by the July 22 deadline in order to help us plan properly.  If
you wish to arrange hotel or dorm accommodations, please do so before July 15.

Attached to this letter you will find preliminary programs for both meetings,
registration information and forms, as well as information regarding dormitory
and hotel accommodations, how to reach Chapel Hill, and the general Chapel
Hill area.  Information about the conference will also be available at
http://www.cs.unc.edu/~marshall/math.html on the World Wide Web.

We are looking forward to seeing you!

Sincerely yours,

Thomas S. Wallsten and Jonathan A. Marshall
Conference Co-Chairs
