factoids

The Annals of Mathematics is a mathematical journal published every two months by Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study.

History

The journal was established as The Analyst in 1874Diana F. Liang, Mathematical journals: an annotated guide. Scarecrow Press, 1992, {{ISBN|0-8108-2585-6}}; p. 15 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”.JOURNAL, Hendricks, Joel E., 1874, Introductory remarks, The Analyst, 1, 1, 1–2, 10.1039/an8760100001, 1876Ana.....1....1., 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.JOURNAL, Fiske, Thomas S., Thomas S. Fiske, Mathematical progress in America, 1905, Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society, 11, 238–246,www.ams.org/bull/2000-37-01/S0273-0979-99-00799-5/S0273-0979-99-00799-5.pdf,ghostarchive.org/archive/20221009/https://www.ams.org/bull/2000-37-01/S0273-0979-99-00799-5/S0273-0979-99-00799-5.pdf, 2022-10-09, live, 10.1090/S0002-9904-1905-01210-6, 5, free, Reprinted in Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society, New Series, 37 (1), 3–8, 1999. This incarnation of the journal ceased publication after its tenth year, in 1883, giving as an explanation Hendricks’ declining health,JOURNAL, Hendricks, Joel E., 1883, Announcement, The Analyst, 10, 5, 159–160, 2635801, but Hendricks made arrangements to have it taken over by new management,JOURNAL, Hendricks, Joel E., 1883, Announcement, The Analyst, 10, 6, 166, 2635728, and it was continued from March 1884 as the Annals of Mathematics.JOURNAL, Raymond Garver, The Analyst, 1874-1883, Scripta Mathematica, 1, 1, 1932, 247–251, 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.J. J. O’Connor and E. F. Robertson. Solomon Lefschetz. MacTutor History of Mathematics archive. Accessed February 2, 2010 During this time, it became an increasingly well-known and respected journal.{{citation needed|date=April 2014}} Its rise, in turn, stimulated American mathematics.{{citation needed|date=April 2014}} 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.“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.

Editors

The current editors ({{as of|2022|10|lc=yes}}) of the Annals of Mathematics are Helmut Hofer, Nick Katz, Sergiu Klainerman, Fernando Codá Marques, Assaf Naor and Zoltán Szabó (all but Helmut Hofer from Princeton University, with Hofer being a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study and Peter Sarnak also being a professor there as a second affiliation).Editorial Board.
