SELECTA: CJM/JCM AND CMB/BCM
HISTORICAL INDEX
Editors: Vlastimil Dlab, George Duff, John Fournier

During these first fifty years of the CMS, its research publications, the Canadian Journal of Mathematics and the Canadian Mathematical Bulletin, have published a wide range of research papers. The editors of this volume faced the difficult task of selecting a few of the most noteworthy papers for republication here. Each of these selected papers is introduced with a bilingual commentary.

The first volume of the Canadian Journal of Mathematics had the honour of being launched with a contribution by Albert Einstein, an article which was the culmination of the celebrated Einstein-Infeld-Hoffman colloboration begun at Princeton in 1936. During the 1950s, it was the most cited of all publications stemming from Einstein's Princeton Period. This is indicative of the papers reproduced here - papers that have furthered the study of mathematics and inspired future mathematicians to move the discussions and debates along to the next level.

The second part of this volume is an indispensable tool for mathematicians and researchers ­ a historical index for all issues of the Canadian Journal of Mathematics and the Canadian Mathematical Bulletin - providing an easy search tool to the range of works presented in these two journals.
