Journal overview:

The Bulletin publishes expository articles on contemporary mathematical research, written in a way that gives insight to mathematicians who may not be experts in the particular topic. The Bulletin also publishes reviews of selected books in mathematics and short articles in the Mathematical Perspectives section, both by invitation only.

1891 to present online:

Readers may now view every issue of the Bulletin, beginning with the inaugural issue published in 1891. Past issues of the Bulletin are searchable and fully integrated with the modern Bulletin. The digitization of the back issues of the Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society (1891-1991) was made possible with the generous support of the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation through a grant to the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute. The 1891-1991 archive is also online at Project Euclid. The digitization of the back issues from 1992 to 1995 was part of the AMS Journals Digitization Project, which was made possible through the generous support of an anonymous donor. The American Mathematical Society makes all issues of the Bulletin freely available to all mathematicians through the generosity of its members.
