(President of the Mathematical Society of Japan)Foreword to the Japanese Journal of Mathematics
Sadayoshi Kojima
Japanese Journal of Mathematics (JJM) founded in 1924 is the oldest mathematics
journal in Japan with continuous publication. It had been published for
research articles by the Science Council of Japan until 1974. Then it was renewed
in 1975 as a New Series edited and published for possibly long research
papers by the Kinokuniya Company Ltd in collaboration with several university
periodicals in Japan.
From this first volume of the Third Series in 2006, JJM is published by the
Mathematical Society of Japan (MSJ) in cooperation with Springer. It becomes
to be the first official journal ofMSJ for authoritative survey articles exclusively.
Thanks to tremendous effort for making JJM reborn by considerable number
of people, its third series is now launched with peer-review process. We are extremely
proud of announcing its debut, and would like to welcome contributions
of survey articles which promote mathematical research significantly.
