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.[1][2][3][4] 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.[5] 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;[6] Fundamenta Mathematicae thus became the first specialized journal in the field of mathematics.[1][2][3][4]

Despite Janiszewski having, in a 1918 article, given the initial impetus for the creation of the journal,

editors-in-chief. Soon after its launch, the founding editors were joined by Kazimierz Kuratowski and, later, by Karol Borsuk
.
