The British Journal for the History of Mathematics is the journal of the British Society for the History of Mathematics: it publishes articles, reports, and book reviews on a range of historical topics. Articles on local mathematical history, the use of history of mathematics in education, and those reflecting individual interests and research are particularly encouraged.

The latest copy of the Journal (Volume 39, Issue 1, 2024) was published in July 2024 and distributed by our publisher, Taylor and Francis. If you are a member and do not receive this issue, please contact the Membership Secretary.
