Algebra & Number Theory
Encyclopedia
Algebra & Number Theory is a peer-reviewed mathematics
journal published by the nonprofit organization Mathematical Sciences Publishers
.
It was launched on January 17, 2007 with the goal of "providing an alternative to the current range of commercial specialty journals in algebra
and number theory
, an alternative of higher quality and much lower cost."
The journal publishes original research articles in algebra
and number theory
, interpreted broadly, including algebraic geometry
and arithmetic geometry, for example.
Issues are published both online and in print.

Mathematics
Mathematics is the study of quantity, space, structure, and change. Mathematicians seek out patterns and formulate new conjectures. Mathematicians resolve the truth or falsity of conjectures by mathematical proofs, which are arguments sufficient to convince other mathematicians of their validity...

Algebraic geometry
Algebraic geometry is a branch of mathematics which combines techniques of abstract algebra, especially commutative algebra, with the language and the problems of geometry. It occupies a central place in modern mathematics and has multiple conceptual connections with such diverse fields as complex...
