Crux Mathematicorum is a scientific journal of mathematics published by the Canadian Mathematical Society. It contains mathematical problems for secondary school and undergraduate students. As of 2013 [update] , its editor-in-chief is Kseniya Garaschuk.
The journal was established in 1975, under the name Eureka, by the Carleton-Ottawa Mathematics Association, with Léo Sauvé as its first editor-in-chief. It took the name Crux Mathematicorum with its fourth volume, in 1978, to avoid confusion with another journal Eureka published by the Cambridge University Mathematical Society. The Canadian Mathematical Society took over the journal in 1985, and soon afterwards G.W. (Bill) Sands became its new editor. Bruce L. R. Shawyer took over as editor in 1996. In 1997 it merged with another journal founded in 1988, Mathematical Mayhem, to become Crux Mathematicorum with Mathematical Mayhem. Jim Totten became editor in 2003, and Václav (Vazz) Linek replaced him in 2008. [1]
Ross Honsberger writes that "for interesting elementary problems, this publication is in a class by itself". [2] The journal is also known for reviving interest in Japanese temple geometry problems by publishing a series of them beginning in 1984. [3] The website IMOmath.com has made available problems involving inequalities from its first four volumes and calls the publication "the best problem solving journal all over the world". [4] Since January 2019, Crux Mathematicorum became a free online publication thanks to the support of the Intact Foundation. [5]
Eureka often refers to:
In geometry, an equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides have the same length. In the familiar Euclidean geometry, an equilateral triangle is also equiangular; that is, all three internal angles are also congruent to each other and are each 60°. It is also a regular polygon, so it is also referred to as a regular triangle.
Shing-Tung Yau is a Chinese-American mathematician. He is the director of the Yau Mathematical Sciences Center at Tsinghua University and Professor Emeritus at Harvard University. Until 2022 he was the William Caspar Graustein Professor of Mathematics at Harvard, at which point he moved to Tsinghua.
Dušan D. Repovš is a Slovenian mathematician from Ljubljana, Slovenia.
The Canadian Mathematical Society is an association of professional mathematicians dedicated to the interests of mathematical research, outreach, scholarship and education in Canada. It serves the national community through the publication of academic journals, community bulletins, and the administration of mathematical competitions.
Dan Pedoe was an English-born mathematician and geometer with a career spanning more than sixty years. In the course of his life he wrote approximately fifty research and expository papers in geometry. He is also the author of various core books on mathematics and geometry some of which have remained in print for decades and been translated into several languages. These books include the three-volume Methods of Algebraic Geometry, The Gentle Art of Mathematics, Circles: A Mathematical View, Geometry and the Visual Arts and most recently Japanese Temple Geometry Problems: San Gaku.
In mathematics, convex geometry is the branch of geometry studying convex sets, mainly in Euclidean space. Convex sets occur naturally in many areas: computational geometry, convex analysis, discrete geometry, functional analysis, geometry of numbers, integral geometry, linear programming, probability theory, game theory, etc.
Murray Seymour Klamkin was an American mathematician, known as prolific proposer and editor of professionally-challenging mathematical problems.
Toshikazu Sunada is a Japanese mathematician and author of many books and essays on mathematics and mathematical sciences. He is professor emeritus of both Meiji University and Tohoku University. He is also distinguished professor of emeritus at Meiji in recognition of achievement over the course of an academic career. Before he joined Meiji University in 2003, he was professor of mathematics at Nagoya University (1988–1991), at the University of Tokyo (1991–1993), and at Tohoku University (1993–2003). Sunada was involved in the creation of the School of Interdisciplinary Mathematical Sciences at Meiji University and is its first dean (2013–2017). Since 2019, he is President of Mathematics Education Society of Japan.
Ross Honsberger (1929–2016) was a Canadian mathematician and author on recreational mathematics.

Kurt Schiffler was a German engineer, entrepreneur, inventor and amateur geometer.
Aequationes Mathematicae is a mathematical journal. It is primarily devoted to functional equations, but also publishes papers in dynamical systems, combinatorics, and geometry. As well as publishing regular journal submissions on these topics, it also regularly reports on international symposia on functional equations and produces bibliographies on the subject.
