Crelle's Journal, or just Crelle, is the common name for a leading German-language mathematical journal, the Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik (in English: Journal for Pure and Applied Mathematics).

History

The journal was founded by August Leopold Crelle in Berlin in 1826 and edited by him until his death in 1855. It was the first major mathematical journal that was not a proceeding of an academy. It has published many notable papers, including works of Niels Henrik Abel, Georg Cantor and Ferdinand Eisenstein. It was edited by Carl Wilhelm Borchardt from 1856–80, during which time it was known as Borchardt's Journal.
