英语专业的学生可能是小说家或诗人，也可能不是，但毫无疑问，他们应该能够评价一部小说或一首诗。“英语专业”一词意味着一定的历史，哲学和评估培训和能力。可悲但却是事实的是，“数学家”一词并不意味着相应的训练和能力。整合狭义的数学和历史，哲学和我们的学科的关键方面，必将使它更有意义，不仅对那些谁认定自己是数学家，而且对那些谁没有超过切线的兴趣在这个问题上。为了促进这种融合，从而鼓励一种强调其意义和重要性的数学方法，该月刊将每两个月出版一篇2-5页的文章，通用标题为“数学的演变”。“这样一篇文章的核心将是对重要的主流数学的描述。下面的文章将详细说明我们所考虑的材料种类和方法。虽然我们更喜欢原创文章，但我们也会在公共领域发布适当文章的翻译或改编。
An English major may or may not be a novelist or a poet, but would undoubtedly be expected to be able to evaluate a novel or a poem. The term "English major" implies some historical, philosophical, and evaluative training and competence. It is sad but true that the term "mathematician" does not imply corresponding training and competence. Integration of the narrowly mathematical and historical, philosophical and critical aspects of our discipline is bound to make it more meaningful not only to those who identify themselves as mathematicians but also to those who have no more than a tangential interest in the subject. To promote such integration, and thus encourage an approach to mathematics that emphasizes its meaning and significance, the Monthly will publish every two months an article of 2-5 pages under the generic title "The evolution of... " The core of such an article will be an account of important mainstream mathematics. The essay that follows exemplifies the kind of material, and the approach, we have in mind. While we prefer original articles, we will also publish translations or adaptations of appropriate articles in the public domain.
