'''''Fundamenta Mathematicae''''' is a [[peer-reviewed]] [[scientific journal]] of [[mathematics]] with a special focus on the [[foundations of mathematics]], concentrating on [[set theory]], [[mathematical logic]], [[topology]] and its interactions with [[algebra]], and [[dynamical system]]s. 

The first specialized journal in the field of mathematics, originally it covered only [[topology]], [[set theory]], and [[foundations of mathematics]].<ref name="modern">{{Harv|Bradley|2006|page=33}}.</ref><ref name="fund100" >{{harv|''One Hundred Volumes''|1978|p=3}}.</ref><ref name="Kuratowski">{{harv|Kuratowski|1980|p=35}}.</ref><ref name="Skowron2013">{{harv|Wasilewska|2013|p=2}}.</ref> It is published by the Mathematics Institute of the [[Polish Academy of Sciences]].

== History ==
The journal was conceived by [[Zygmunt Janiszewski]] as a means to foster mathematical research in Poland.<ref name="KurFund" >According to {{Harvtxt|Kuratowski|1980|pp=31–32}} and to [[#{{harvid|''One Hundred Volumes''|1978}}|the introduction to the 100th volume of the journal (1978]], pp=1–2). These two sources cite an article written by Janiszewski himself in 1918 and titled "''On the needs of Mathematics in Poland''".</ref> Janiszewski posited that, to achieve its goal, the journal should not compel Polish mathematicians to submit articles written exclusively in Polish, and should be devoted only to a specialized topic in mathematics;<ref>{{Harvtxt|Kuratowski|1980|pp=31–32}} and {{harvtxt|''One Hundred Volumes''|1978|pp=1–2}} stress the fact that these two requirements represented revolutionary decisions at that time.</ref> ''Fundamenta Mathematicae'' thus became the first specialized journal in the field of mathematics.<ref name="modern"/><ref name="fund100"/><ref name="Kuratowski"/><ref name="Skowron2013"/>

Despite Janiszewski having, in a 1918 article, given the initial impetus for the creation of the journal,<ref>{{harv|Kuratowski|1980|p=32}}, {{harv|''One Hundred Volumes''|1978|p=1}}.</ref> he did not live long enough to see the first issue published, in [[Warsaw]], as he died on 3 January 1920. [[Wacław Sierpiński]] and [[Stefan Mazurkiewicz]] took over as [[editors-in-chief]]. Soon after its launch, the founding editors were joined by [[Kazimierz Kuratowski]] and, later, by [[Karol Borsuk]].
