Ulam Quarterly was an independently published electronic journal between 1992 and 1996, making it one of the first mathematical e-journals.[1]

History

[edit]

It was named after Stanislaw Ulam. The Editor-in-chief was Piotr Blass, who claims it dates back as far as 1987.

Gordon and Breach Publishers, from Langhorne, Pennsylvania, published the journal under ISSN 1071-7021, and published a book under the journals name. ISBN 2-884-49187-2

Since 1992, Ulam Quarterly has been listed as published by V. Cook and J. Post from West Palm Beach.

The website has not been maintained since 1997[2][3].

The website lists Stan Klasa from the Department of Computer Science at Concordia University as the Editor-in-Chief. The electronic editor is listed as Rick Smith, Department of Mathematics, University of Florida.

The journal's name was used in "The Ulam Quarterly and Algebraic Geometry Conference" held 17-19 February 1990 at Palm Beach Atlantic College, Florida.[4]

Bozenna Pasik-Duncan was an Associate Editor of the Ulam Quarterly from 1992 while she held the position of Associate Professor, Mathematics Department, University of Kansas. [5]
