Eureka is a journal published annually by The Archimedeans, the Mathematical Society of Cambridge University. It includes many mathematical articles on a variety different topics – written by students and mathematicians from all over the world – as well as a short summary of the activities of the society, problem sets, puzzles, artwork and book reviews.
Eureka has been published 60 times since 1939, and authors include many famous mathematicians scientists such as Paul Erdős, Martin Gardner, Douglas Hofstadter, Godfrey Hardy, Béla Bollobás, John Conway, Stephen Hawking, Roger Penrose, popular maths writer Ian Stewart, Fields Medallist Timothy Gowers and Nobel Laureate Paul Dirac.
The journal is distributed free of charge to all current members of the Archimedeans. In addition, there are many subscriptions by other students, alumni and libraries from more than 10 different countries.
Eureka is edited by students from the University. Recent issues include
Of the notable mathematical articles, there is an influential paper by Freeman Dyson where he defined the rank of a partition in an effort to prove combinatorially the partition congruences earlier discovered by Srinivasa Ramanujan. In the article, Dyson made a series of conjectures that were all eventually resolved.
