Mathematical journal Summary (2504 words) |
 | New fields ranged from the mathematical theory of heat studied by Joseph Fourier (1768-1830), to research in elliptical functions by Carl Gustav Jacobi (1804-1851), to the invariants studied by Arthur Cayley (1821-1895) and Sylvester, all mathematicians who reported their results to mathematical societies and in journals. |
| Similarly, the London Mathematical Society's example in facilitating communication between mathematicians, publicizing international developments, and holding talks given by and to mathematics researchers was followed by mathematical societies established around the world in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. |
| One of the best definitions of the current state of mathematics, as a research field, is that it consists of theorems with proofs published in a reputable mathematical journal, and which have passed through the process of peer review called refereeing. |

Edinburgh Mathematical Society - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (100 words) |
| The Edinburgh Mathematical Society is the leading mathematical society in Scotland. |
| Founded in 1883 by a group of Edinburgh schoolteachers and academics, the society organises and funds meetings and other research events throughout Scotland. |
| It also publishes an academic journal (the Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society) and every four years awards the Sir Edmund Whittaker Memorial Prize to an outstanding mathematician with a Scottish connection. |
