New journal: Journal of Humanistic Mathematics

Dear Colleagues,

It is our pleasure to inform you that the first issue of the Journal of 
Humanistic Mathematics is now available at

http://journal-of-humanistic-mathematics.org
http://scholarship.claremont.edu/jhm

   This Journal is in many ways a successor to the Humanistic Mathematics 
Network Journal (1987-2004), created and edited by Alvin White. As with 
HMNJ, our goal is to create a platform for both formal and informal 
inquiries about mathematics as a human endeavor. Historical, pedagogical, 
psychological, and sociological aspects all form different facets of 
humanistic mathematics. There are several journals devoted to studying 
these various aspects through disciplinary approaches; we hope with this 
Journal to provide a (multidisciplinary / interdisciplinary / 
transdisciplinary) venue for work that targets a wider mathematical 
community. Our intention is to encourage communication and discussion 
across the disciplinary boundaries. To this end, we will publish 
peer-reviewed research and survey articles, editor-reviewed works that 
reflect personal explorations of what it means to do mathematics or to be 
a mathematician, articles on mathematics in popular culture, and reviews 
of books which focus on humanistic aspects of mathematics. Finally, we 
welcome creative works (fiction, poetry, visual arts) that display in more 
ways than one the humanistic dimensions of mathematics.
