Description: The Israel Journal of Mathematics is published by The Hebrew University Magnes Press. This class provides LaTeX support for its authors and editors. It strives to achieve the distinct “look and feel” of the journal, while having the interface similar to that of the amsart document class.

there i was, innocently buying food for the weekend, and the daemon said: > Name of contribution: rmannot > Author's name: D. P.
