Brief History of the Journal

Studies in Applied Mathematics (formerly The Journal of Mathematics and Physics before 1969) was founded by Clarence Moore at MIT in 1921. It has a long tradition of facilitating interactions between mathematics and applied disciplines. Its former managing editors were Clarence Moore (1921-1928), Philip Franklin (1929-1945), Eric Reissner (1946-1967), and David Benney (1968-2013). Under David Benney the journal’s name was changed and the journal logo was created.

Cover pages of the first issue of the journal (in 1921) and the issue of 1969 where the name of the journal was changed are below.
