Fundamenta Mathematicae is a peer-reviewed scientific journal of mathematics with a special focus on the foundations of mathematics, concentrating on set theory, mathematical logic, topology and its interactions with algebra, and dynamical systems.
The first specialized journal in the field of mathematics, originally it covered only topology, set theory, and foundations of mathematics.{{Harv|Bradley|2006|page=33}}.{{harv|One Hundred Volumes|1978|p=3}}.{{harv|Kuratowski|1980|p=35}}.{{harv|Wasilewska|2013|p=2}}. It is published by the Mathematics Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
History
The journal was conceived by Zygmunt Janiszewski as a means to foster mathematical research in Poland.According to {{Harvtxt|Kuratowski|1980|pp=31–32}} and to #{{harvid, pp=1–2). These two sources cite an article written by Janiszewski himself in 1918 and titled "On the needs of Mathematics in Poland". Janiszewski posited that, to achieve its goal, the journal should not compel Polish mathematicians to submit articles written exclusively in Polish, and should be devoted only to a specialized topic in mathematics;{{Harvtxt|Kuratowski|1980|pp=31–32}} and {{harvtxt|One Hundred Volumes|1978|pp=1–2}} stress the fact that these two requirements represented revolutionary decisions at that time. Fundamenta Mathematicae thus became the first specialized journal in the field of mathematics.
Despite Janiszewski having, in a 1918 article, given the initial impetus for the creation of the journal,{{harv|Kuratowski|1980|p=32}}, {{harv|One Hundred Volumes|1978|p=1}}. he did not live long enough to see the first issue published, in Warsaw, as he died on 3 January 1920. Wacław Sierpiński and Stefan Mazurkiewicz took over as editors-in-chief. Soon after its launch, the founding editors were joined by Kazimierz Kuratowski and, later, by Karol Borsuk.
