The Annals of Mathematics (ISSN 0003-486X), often just called Annals, is a bimonthly mathematics research journal published by Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study. It ranks amongst the most prestigious mathematics journals in the world by criteria such as refereeing intensity. A mathematical journal is a learned journal which publishes exclusively mathematical papers. ... For other Princetons, see Princeton. ... Fuld Hall The Institute for Advanced Study is a private institution in Princeton Township, New Jersey, designed to foster pure cutting-edge research by scientists in a variety of fields without the complications of teaching or funding, or the agendas of sponsorship. ...

It started out as The Analyst in 1874, but was discontinued in 1883 and renamed in 1884 under the new direction of Ormond Stone of the University of Virginia. It moved to Harvard in 1899 before reaching its current home in Princeton in 1911. The University of Virginia (also referred to as UVa and often called simply Virginia for short) is a research university in Charlottesville, Virginia. ... Harvard University is a private university in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, and a member of the Ivy League. ... 1899 was a common year starting on Sunday (see link for calendar). ... 1911 was a common year starting on Sunday (click on link for calendar). ...

An important period for the journal was 1928-1958 with Solomon Lefschetz as editor. During this time, Annals became an increasingly well-known and respected journal. The rise of Annals, in turn, stimulated American mathematics. Solomon Lefschetz (3 September 1884-5 October 1972) was a US mathematician who did fundamental work on algebraic topology, its applications to algebraic geometry, and the theory of non-linear ordinary differential equations. ...

Princeton University continued to publish the Annals on its own until 1933, when the Institute for Advanced Study took joint editorial control. Since 1998 it has been available in an electronic edition, alongside its regular print edition. 1933 was a common year starting on Sunday (link will take you to calendar). ...
