Source-derived summary

The Nouvelles Annales de Mathématiques (subtitled Journal des candidats aux écoles polytechnique et normale) was a French scientific journal in mathematics. It was established in 1842 by Olry Terquem and Camille-Christophe Gerono, and continued publication until 1927, with later editors including Charles-Ange Laisant and Raoul Bricard. Initially published by Carilian-Goeury, it was taken over after several years by a different publisher, Bachelier.

Although competing in subject matter with Joseph Liouville's Journal de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées (with which Terquem had previously been associated), and initially published by a different publisher than Liouville's journal, the editors of the Nouvelles Annales cooperated with Liouville in directing papers between the two journals. As well as publishing new results in mathematics, the Nouvelles Annales included pedagogical material, and extracts from papers published in other journals.

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1842, 1927, 2009, 2013—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1842. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Nouvelles, Annales and Mathématiques.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Nouvelles Annales de Mathématiques” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Nouvelles, Annales and Mathématiques provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 4, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q18355155. 5 of 5 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1842, 1927, 2009 and 2013.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
