How to Browse the Archives of The Mathematica Journal
Updated
The Mathematica Journal (TMJ) archives are browsable by volume and issue, covering Volumes 1 through 23. The journal published from 1990 to 2021 and is no longer accepting submissions, but its back catalog remains accessible online. Articles are organized by volume, and most volumes are further divided into numbered issues. A few early issues are marked unavailable.
How the Archive Is Organized
The archive page lists every volume from 1 to 23. Volumes 12 through 23 are grouped together at the top, while Volumes 1 through 11 are listed individually with their constituent issues.
| Volume range | Issue structure | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Vol. 12–23 (2010–2021) | One entry per volume | Listed as Vol. 23 (2021) down to Vol. 12 (2010) |
| Vol. 1–11 | Divided into numbered issues | Vol. 11 has issues (1), (2), (3); Vol. 10 has (1)–(4), etc. |
For Volumes 1 through 11, each issue is a separate link. For example, Volume 11 contains issues 11(1), 11(2), and 11(3). Volume 10 contains 10(1) through 10(4). This pattern holds down to Volume 2.
Known Gaps in the Archive
Volume 1 has four issues, but three of them are marked unavailable:
- Vol. 1 (1) — unavailable
- Vol. 1 (2) — unavailable
- Vol. 1 (3) — available
- Vol. 1 (4) — unavailable
If you need material from those missing early issues, they cannot be reached through the archive page.
Steps to Browse and Read an Article
- Open the Archives page on mathematica-journal.com.
- Locate the volume you want. Use the grouped list for Volumes 12–23, or scroll to the individual volume sections for Volumes 1–11.
- Click the volume or issue link to see its contents.
- Select an article to view it.
To view the notebook version of an article without having Mathematica installed, download the free Wolfram Player from wolfram.com/player. This lets you open notebook files associated with articles.
Where to Find Newer Material
Since TMJ stopped accepting submissions, articles of similar depth are published on Wolfram Community. The archive page itself points readers there for ongoing content. If you are looking for current Mathematica techniques rather than historical articles, Wolfram Community is the recommended destination.
What You Will Find
The journal covered all aspects of Mathematica, aimed at users at every proficiency level, with the goal of helping readers use Mathematica more effectively. The archive is therefore useful both for historical reference and for techniques that remain applicable. Because the journal ran from 1990 to 2021, older articles may reference earlier versions of Mathematica, so expect some syntax or functionality to differ from current releases.
