Thoughts and Thanks From the Outgoing Editors

With this number, we complete our four-year term as editors of Historia Mathematica. During these personally very rewarding years, we have had the opportunity not only to work closely with a remarkable group of authors, referees, editors, colleagues, and personnel at Academic Press but also to view our field from a privileged vantage point. While striving to bring the best work currently being done in the history of mathematics before a diverse, international readership of historians of mathematics, mathematicians, and those interested in how mathematics has developed over time, we have come to appreciate more deeply what a key role Historia Mathematica plays in defining the history of mathematics as an active area of research. We would like to take this opportunity to share some of these insights with you, to focus attention on a number of issues that we see our field facing as it enters the new millennium, and to thank the many individuals with whom we have worked so rewardingly during our term.

First, we have witnessed the power of Historia Mathematica, the official journal of the International Commission for the History of Mathematics, to unite scholars of many nationalities in the common goal of understanding how mathematics has evolved in all parts of the world from (at least) its Mesopotamian and Egyptian roots through the present day. To get a sense of the journal's unifying role, consider the countries represented by authors who have made contributions to it over the past four years: Algeria,
