The Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society (often abbreviated as Bull. Amer. Math. Soc.) is a quarterly mathematical journal published by the American Mathematical Society. It publishes surveys on contemporary research topics and book reviews, both by invitation only.
It began as the Bulletin of the New York Mathematical Society and underwent a name change when the society became national. The Bulletin's function has changed over the years; its original function was to serve as a research journal for its members.
Famous quotes containing the words american and/or mathematical:
“The American has dwindled into an Odd Fellow—one who may be known by the development of his organ of gregariousness.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“As we speak of poetical beauty, so ought we to speak of mathematical beauty and medical beauty. But we do not do so; and that reason is that we know well what is the object of mathematics, and that it consists in proofs, and what is the object of medicine, and that it consists in healing. But we do not know in what grace consists, which is the object of poetry.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
