Mathematical journal

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mathematische Zeitschrift is a specialist journal for pure and applied mathematics. It is published by Springer-Verlag .

It was founded in 1918 by Leon Lichtenstein together with Konrad Knopp , Erhard Schmidt and Issai Schur . The famous mathematicians Leopold Fejér , Wilhelm Blaschke , Gustav Herglotz , Adolf Kneser , Oskar Perron , Edmund Landau , Friedrich Schur , Hermann Weyl and Eduard Study were on the scientific advisory board . The initiative came from Springer-Verlag, which contacted Lichtenstein as early as 1914 in order to gain a foothold in the mathematical publishing industry that was dominated by Teubner at the time with its own magazine. The Mathematische Zeitschrift was intended to compete with the Mathematische Annalen von Teubner, the leading German-language journal at the time, which, however, also came to Springer in 1919 (since Teubner's interest in the loss-making mathematics business had waned).

Later editors were among others Erich Kamke , Erich Hecke , Rolf Nevanlinna , Helmut Wielandt .

The journal's impact factor in 2012 was 0.879. In the statistics of the ISI Web of Knowledge , the journal was ranked 53rd out of 295 considered journals in the mathematics category .
