Dear Colleague,
I would like to invite you to join a NEW mailing list on the
HISTORY OF MATHEMATICS.
The purpose of this list is to provide a virtual forum for scholarly
discussion of the HISTORY OF MATHEMATICS (in a broad sense), amongst professionals
and non-professionals with an earnest interest in the field.
Postings are to be highly relevant to the purpose of this list. All
TRADITIONAL aspects of the history of mathematics are expected to be heavily
discussed here. Additionally,
- History of _history of
mathematics_
- Current trends in the
history of mathematics
- History of _mathematics
outside Europe_
- Ethnomathematics
- Pedagogical issues
- Origin of mathematical
terms/symbols
- Biographies and obituaries
- Bibliographical references
(databases)
- Reviews of new books/articles/URLs
- Announcements of conferences,
meetings, jobs ...
Contributors should strive to submit posts containing interesting, worthwhile
or new information about substantive topics on the
history of mathematics, in a conscious effort to keep the signal- to-noise
ratio as high as possible.
Pertinent comments, queries, replies... should be written with the same
standards of thoughtfulness and care that apply to
other scholarly activities; not necessarily at the level of writing
a book or an article for a journal, but at least at
the level of the informal printed stuff (eg photocopies) used at courses.
You can join this CLOSED list by sending your subscription (which has to be approved) to
with the following command in the body of your email message:

You can also request your subscription sending mail either to

Julio Gonzalez Cabillon
