Scripta Mathematica
Scripta Mathematica (ISSN 0036-9713) was a quarterly journal published by Yeshiva University devoted to the philosophy, history, and expository treatment of mathematics.[1] It was said to be, at its time, "the only mathematical magazine in the world edited by specialists for laymen."[2]
The journal was established in 1932 under the editorship of Jekuthiel Ginsburg, a professor of mathematics at Yeshiva University,[3] and its first issue appeared in 1933.[2] It ceased publication in 1973. Notable papers published in Scripta Mathematica included work by Nobelist Percy Williams Bridgman concerning the implications for physics of set-theoretic paradoxes,[4] and Hermann Weyl's obituary of Emmy Noether.[5]
