The Annals of Mathematics is a mathematical journal published every two months by Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study.
The journal was established as The Analyst in 1874 [1] and with Joel E. Hendricks as the founding editor-in-chief. It was "intended to afford a medium for the presentation and analysis of any and all questions of interest or importance in pure and applied Mathematics, embracing especially all new and interesting discoveries in theoretical and practical astronomy, mechanical philosophy, and engineering". [2] It was published in Des Moines, Iowa, and was the earliest American mathematics journal to be published continuously for more than a year or two. [3] This incarnation of the journal ceased publication after its tenth year, in 1883, giving as an explanation Hendricks' declining health, [4] but Hendricks made arrangements to have it taken over by new management, [5] and it was continued from March 1884 as the Annals of Mathematics. [6] The new incarnation of the journal was edited by Ormond Stone (University of Virginia). It moved to Harvard in 1899 before reaching its current home in Princeton in 1911.
An important period for the journal was 1928–1958 with Solomon Lefschetz as editor. [7] Norman Steenrod characterized Lefschetz' impact as editor as follows: "The importance to American mathematicians of a first-class journal is that it sets high standards for them to aim at. In this somewhat indirect manner, Lefschetz profoundly affected the development of mathematics in the United States." [7]
Princeton University continued to publish the Annals on its own until 1933, when the Institute for Advanced Study took joint editorial control. Since 1998, it has been available in an electronic edition, alongside its regular print edition. The electronic edition was available without charge, as an open access journal, but since 2008, this is no longer the case. Issues from before 2003 were transferred to the non-free JSTOR archive, and articles are not freely available until 5 years after publication.
The journal is abstracted and indexed in the Science Citation Index, Current Contents/Physical, Chemical & Earth Sciences, [8] and Scopus. [9] According to the Journal Citation Reports , the journal has a 2020 impact factor of 5.246, ranking it third out of 330 journals in the category "Mathematics". [10]
Harold Scott MacDonald "Donald" Coxeter was a British-Canadian geometer and mathematician. He is regarded as one of the greatest geometers of the 20th century.
Solomon Lefschetz was a Russian-born American mathematician who did fundamental work on algebraic topology, its applications to algebraic geometry, and the theory of non-linear ordinary differential equations.
Norman Earl Steenrod was an American mathematician most widely known for his contributions to the field of algebraic topology.
Duke Mathematical Journal is a peer-reviewed mathematics journal published by Duke University Press. It was established in 1935. The founding editors-in-chief were David Widder, Arthur Coble, and Joseph Miller Thomas. The first issue included a paper by Solomon Lefschetz. Leonard Carlitz served on the editorial board for 35 years, from 1938 to 1973.
Paul Althaus Smith was an American mathematician. His name occurs in two significant conjectures in geometric topology: the Smith conjecture, which is now a theorem, and the Hilbert–Smith conjecture, which was proved in dimension 3 in 2013. Smith theory is a theory about homeomorphisms of finite order of manifolds, particularly spheres.
Maurício Matos Peixoto,, was a Brazilian engineer and mathematician. He pioneered the studies on structural stability, and was the author of Peixoto's theorem.
The Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by IOP Publishing, the publishing branch of the Institute of Physics. It is part of the Journal of Physics series and covers theoretical physics focusing on sophisticated mathematical and computational techniques.
The Annals of Statistics is a peer-reviewed statistics journal published by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics. It was started in 1973 as a continuation in part of the Annals of Mathematical Statistics (1930), which was split into the Annals of Statistics and the Annals of Probability.
The Financial Analysts Journal is a quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal covering investment management, published by Routledge on behalf of the CFA Institute. It was established in 1945 and as of August 2022, the editor-in-chief is William N. Goetzmann.
Acta Mathematica Hungarica is a peer-reviewed mathematics journal of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, published by Akadémiai Kiadó and Springer Science+Business Media. The journal was established in 1950 and publishes articles on mathematics related to work by Hungarian mathematicians.
Annals of Physics is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering all aspects of physics. It was established in 1957 and is published by Elsevier. The editor-in-chief is Neil Turok.
Annals of Science is a peer-reviewed academic journal covering the history of science and technology. It is published by Taylor & Francis and was established in 1936. The founding editor-in-chief was the Canadian historian of science Harcourt Brown.
The Annals of Probability is a leading peer-reviewed probability journal published by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, which is the main international society for researchers in the areas probability and statistics. The journal was started in 1973 as a continuation in part of the Annals of Mathematical Statistics, which was split into the Annals of Statistics and this journal.
Annals of Operations Research is a peer-reviewed academic journal published by Springer Science+Business Media. It was previously published by Baltzer Science Publishers. The journal publishes 24 issues a year that focus on the theoretical, practical, and computational aspects of operations research. It also publishes periodic special volumes focusing on defined fields of operations research.
Acadiensis: Journal of the History of the Atlantic Region is a semi-annual peer-reviewed academic journal covering the history of Atlantic Canada. The current editors-in-chief are Erin Morton and Peter Twohig. It is published by the Department of History at the University of New Brunswick, with articles in either English or French. The name Acadiensis originated with an earlier periodical with the same name, a general interest quarterly magazine for the Maritime provinces, with an emphasis on local history. It was published in Saint John, New Brunswick by David Russell Jack from 1901 to 1908 but failed due to insufficient financial support.
The Annali di Matematica Pura ed Applicata is a bimonthly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering all aspects of pure and applied mathematics. The journal was established in 1850 under the title of Annali di scienze matematiche e fisiche, and changed to its current title in 1858: it was the first Italian periodical devoted to mathematics and written in Italian. The founding editors-in-chief were Barnaba Tortolini and Francesco Brioschi. It is currently published by Springer Science+Business Media and the editor-in-chief is Graziano Gentili.
Joseph Pierre LaSalle was an American mathematician specialising in dynamical systems and responsible for important contributions to stability theory, such as LaSalle's invariance principle which bears his name.
Discrete Applied Mathematics is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering algorithmic and applied areas of discrete mathematics. It is published by Elsevier and the editor-in-chief is Endre Boros. The journal was split off from another Elsevier journal, Discrete Mathematics, in 1979, with that journal's founder Peter Ladislaw Hammer as its founding editor-in-chief.
Henry Heaton (1846–1927) was a North-American amateur mathematician who contributed problems and solutions to the then-new journals The Analyst and The American Mathematical Monthly. The Annals eventually became a leading research journal and the Monthly famous for its problems section.
Jiang Zehan, also known as Kiang Tsai-han, was a Chinese mathematician and founder of China's topology.
