The Messenger of Mathematics is a defunct journal of mathematics.
The chief editor was William Allen Whitworth with Charles Taylor,[1] and volumes 1-58 were published between 1872 and 1929.[2] James Whitbread Lee Glaisher was the editor-in-chief after Whitworth.[3]
In the nineteen century, foreign contributions represented 4.7% of all pages of mathematics in the journal.[4]
History
The journal was originally titled Oxford, Cambridge and Dublin Messenger of Mathematics. It was supported by mathematics students, and conducted by a board of editors composed of members of the three universities. Volumes 1-5 were published between 1862 and 1871.[2]
