Pacific Journal of Mathematics

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Pacific Journal of Mathematics (Pac. J. Math.) Has been a monthly peer-reviewed mathematics journal since 1951 .

The magazine was founded by Edwin Beckenbach and František Wolf . It is published by Mathematical Sciences Publishers in Berkeley. Five volumes are published with two issues each per year.

Originally the director of the Institute for Numerical Analysis (INA) at the University of California, Los Angeles , John Curtiss , planned a journal for numerical mathematics and computer mathematics. This proved too limited, but a group of mathematicians from the US West Coast universities (such as Beckenbach, Wolf and Arthur Erdélyi ) continued to see the need to start their own journal. In addition to California and other West Coast universities, Nevada, Montana and Hawaii, universities from South and Central America, Australia, Japan and China also supported the magazine.

Feit-Thompson's theorem was published in the journal in 1963 .

The first editor was Edwin Beckenbach. From 1954 to 1959 Ernst Gabor Straus was the editor, in the 1960s a. a. David Gilbarg , Hans Samelson , James Dugundji , Halsey Royden , 1973 to 1979 Richard Arens , 1980 to 1985 Hugo Rossi , from 1986 VS Varadarajan , from 1994 Sun-Yung Alice Chang . The editor is currently Don Blasius (2018).

It has the ISSN 0030-8730.
