Draft:Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society

  • Comment: This draft, as written, does not appear to indicate that the appropriate notability criterion is satisfied. In particular, this draft does not appear to indicate that WP:NJOURNAL is satisfied. If one of the criteria is satisfied, please revise this draft appropriately, with a reliable source, if necessary stating on the talk page or in AFC comments which criterion is met, and resubmit. It is the responsibility of the submitter to show that a subject satisfies a notability criterion.
    You may ask for advice about the notability criteria at the Teahouse.
    In particular, see and refer to WP:NJOURNAL for notability, which is the guideline that the subject should be evaluated against. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:19, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

The Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society is a mathematics journal that publishes original research papers on topics in a broad range of pure and applied mathematics[1]. It has editors in areas including: probability, differential geometry, harmonic analysis, complex analysis, group theory, functional analysis, combinatorics, number theory, ergodic theory, and topology.[2]

After being elected the second President of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society in 1883, Thomas Muir pointed the need for journals in Scotland that publish pure mathematics.[3] The next year, in 1884, the Edinburgh Mathematical Society began to publish its Proceedings to help fill this role.[4]

By 1933 The Scotsman reported the Proceedings was one of the principal scientific journals of the world and issues were sent to many countries across the world.[5]


The Convener of the Editorial Board is currently Sue Sierra (University of Edinburgh).
