Acta Mathematica Sinica, English Series is the first journal of Mathematics in China; and now, it is a quarterly journal. Mainly in pure mathematics, such as Algebra, Number theory, Analysis, Differential Equation, geometry, Probability and others. It provides authoritative reviews of current developments in mathematical research. Contributions are invited from researchers from all over the world.

　　Acta Mathematica Sinica, directed by the Chinese Mathematical Society, is the oldest one in China (since 1936), and is the most influential mathematical journal in China. It has a long history, and is well known for the high-level research papers it published. Since its beginning, famous Chinese mathematicians Loo-keng Hua, Wen-tsum Wu, Yuan Wang, Lo Yang, Kung-ching Chang and Jing-run Chen had been its chief editors.

　　　In 1985, Acta Mathematica Sinica initiated an English edition (Acta Mathematica Sinica, New Series) to promote the interactions between Chinese and international mathematical research. From 1999, this English edition had an important reform. Now it is renamed Acta Mathematica Sinica, English Series, and is published by the well-known Springer-Verlag.

　　　A new editional board has been organized for the English series, which consists of Chinese mathematicians both in China and overseas, such as Lo Yang (former president of Chinese Mathematical Society), Kung-ching Chang (former president of Chinese Mathematical Society), Zhi-ming Ma (President of Chinese Mathematical Society), Gang Tian (Chair-professor, Dept. of Math., MIT, USA), Fang-hua Lin (Professor, Courant Institute of Math., New York Univ., USA), and etc. The new board is working hard to boost the English series to one of the highest-level mathematical journals in the world, and many important papers from China and overseas have been published.
