During the turbulent period of the war in 1930s, Secondary Mathematics Monthly overcame various difficulties and published 48 issues with a total capacity of more than 2 million words. It is a secondary mathematics periodical with the largest number of publications, the longest continuous time, rich and colorful contents and popular with readers in China before liberation. Its content selection pays attention to making the past serve the present, both internal and external, lively and interesting, and compatible with depth. To a certain extent, it reflects the situation of primary school mathematics research and middle school mathematics teaching in China in the 1930s and 1940s, and has certain research value in the history of mathematics and general education in China.
From 1952 to 1, Intermediate Mathematics magazine was renamed as Mathematical Communication. Since then, this journal has entered a relatively stable development period.
Mathematics communication inherits the original intention of the Monthly Magazine of Secondary Mathematics, and the purpose of running the magazine remains basically unchanged. From 1952 to August 1958, * * * published 100. The reader's evaluation of Mathematical Newsletter is very high, as can be seen from the following facts:1981September held a book fair in Shanghai, and the reprinted Mathematical Newsletter happened to be the 89th issue after it was reissued in the 1950s. Readers rushed to buy it and were quickly snapped up.
During the 1960s and 1980s, due to the three-year natural disasters and the economic difficulties caused by the Cultural Revolution, Mathematical Newsletter was published for a period of time, then closed for a period of time, and was reissued on February 1980. Her appearance was immediately welcomed by readers. The Mathematics Newsletter, reissued in 1980s, reiterated her established policy and clearly put forward the purpose of "serving middle schools and teaching". Since then, it has entered a period of vigorous and healthy development. Especially since the reform and opening-up, with the deepening of China's educational reform, the readers of mathematics communication have become more specific (middle school teachers, high school students, middle school teaching enthusiasts), and the nature of columns has become more scientific and stable.
At present, in order to carry out the purpose of "facing middle schools, serving teaching, attaching importance to popularization and improving", this journal has opened up four columns: tutoring teaching, monograph collection, review reference and extracurricular garden. Under these four big columns, there are several regular and irregular sub-columns. Content selection emphasizes scientificity, practicality, knowledge, interest and readability, so it is deeply loved and praised by readers.
Mathematics Newsletter has been rated as the national core periodical of primary and secondary education for two consecutive times, and many articles have been plagiarized by Renmin University and cited by other authors.
The reputation and quality of Math Newsletter attracted many authors, who contributed to Math Newsletter one after another, making the sources of contributions to Math Newsletter very rich. On the one hand, it ensures the quality of articles published in Mathematical Newsletter, on the other hand, it also promotes the development of the concept of running Mathematical Newsletter in a broader direction. In order to promote the exchange of educational research results, expand the circulation of publications and make full use of the sources of manuscripts, Mathematics Newsletter has been published and supplemented many times since 1983. Starting from 1992, 7 sets of secondary school mathematics teaching supplementary series (38 volumes * * * about 9130,000 words) have been compiled, and 3 sets of them have been reprinted many times at the request of readers.
In order to give full play to the role of Mathematical Newsletter, enhance the pertinence of the publication and meet the requirements of different readers, Mathematical Newsletter was changed from a monthly magazine to a semi-monthly magazine on June 5438+ 10, 2000, with the second half for teachers and the first half for senior high school students. Although the columns of the two books are the same, the content selection is different. Teachers' reading books pay attention to the exchange and discussion of teaching research and elementary mathematics research, and pay attention to academics, research and practicality, which is helpful to improve teachers' teaching professional quality. Students' reading focuses on learning methods, difficult breakthroughs and ability cultivation, and pays attention to practicality, guidance and interest, which helps students cultivate interest, dispel doubts, deepen their study and improve their ability. For the convenience of readers, odd-numbered periodicals and even-numbered periodicals use different postal codes. Readers can subscribe separately through the post office or directly to the editorial department.
Math Newsletter thanks readers and authors for their love and sincerely hopes to create a brilliant future with you.
