TheAmerican Journal of Mathematics is abimonthlymathematics journal published by theJohns Hopkins University Press.
TheAmerican Journal of Mathematics is the oldest continuously published mathematical journal in the United States,[1] established in 1878 at theJohns Hopkins University byJames Joseph Sylvester, an English-born mathematician who also served as the journal'seditor-in-chief from its inception through early 1884. InitiallyW. E. Story was associate editor in charge; he was replaced byThomas Craig in 1880. For volume 7Simon Newcomb became chief editor with Craig managing until 1894. Then with volume 16 it was "Edited by Thomas Craig with the Co-operation of Simon Newcomb" until 1898.[2]
Other notable mathematicians who have served as editors or editorial associates of the journal includeFrank Morley,Oscar Zariski,Lars Ahlfors,Hermann Weyl,Wei-Liang Chow,S. S. Chern,André Weil,Harish-Chandra,Jean Dieudonné,Henri Cartan,Stephen Smale, Jun-Ichi Igusa, and Joseph A. Shalika.
Fields medalistCédric Villani has speculated that "the most famous article in its long history" may be a 1958 paper byJohn Nash, "Continuity of solutions of parabolic and elliptic equations".[3]
TheAmerican Journal of Mathematics is a general-interest (i.e., non-specialized) mathematics journal covering all the major areas of contemporarymathematics. According to theJournal Citation Reports, its 2009impact factor is 1.337, ranking it 22nd out of 255 journals in the category "Mathematics".[4]
As of June, 2012, the editors areChristopher D. Sogge, editor-in-chief (Johns Hopkins University),William Minicozzi II (Massachusetts Institute of Technology),Freydoon Shahidi (Purdue University), andVyacheslav Shokurov (The Johns Hopkins University).
