Dear [HM] list members,
I would like to publicly thank and congratulate Paul Yiu (having
already done so in private correspondence) for taking the trouble
to set up a brand new Euclidean journal. I must say I'm flattered
to be invited to join his project. I am sure most HM members will
be interested in reading Paul's preliminary announcement recently
submitted to Hyacinthos mailing list -- the most active and
interesting e-forum devoted to classical Euclidean geometry on the
Net.
Kind regards to all,
Julio Gonzalez Cabillon

Dear fellow geometrophiles,
This message is a preliminary announcement of a new electronic journal
devoted to classical euclidean geometry and related areas.
The tentative title is FORUM GEOMETRICORUM. The publication of this
journal is sponsored by Florida Atlantic University, and is free to
readers in the internet community. This is an electronic journal only
in the sense that papers are published in pdf and a few other
downloadable formats, and that communications between authors and
editors are expedited by emails as much as possible. Papers submitted
for publication are refereed. The first papers are expected to be
published in early 2001. Papers published in each calendar year will
be collected into a volume, and issued in the form of a CD, along with
supplementary materials. Depending on the success of the journal,
arrangement for paper editions shall be made.
FORUM GEOMETRICORUM is intended to be a meeting place of things
geometrical, interesting to professional mathematicians and amateurs
alike. As editor in chief, I invite you to submit papers to us. I
hope the journal will turn out to be a forum you will most enjoy. Its
success, however, truly depends on your support, as authors and readers.
I am appending a tentative statement of purpose of the journal, and
a list of mathematicians who have agreed to serve as advisors and
editors. If you want to know more about this venture, or want to
offer more help, please feel free to contact me.
Best regards.
Sincerely,
Paul Yiu

Statement of Purpose
FORUM GEOMETRICORUM, an electronic journal of classical euclidean
geometry and related areas, is intended to bring to a wide,
international readership the beauty, elegance, and usefulness of
Elementary Geometry, in research and in teaching. Papers shall be
published in English only. FG shall focus on concrete but
challenging problems of euclidean geometry and related areas, that
can be conducted by mathematicians, professional and amateur alike.
Papers will also feature the long and interesting history of the
subject. We shall also strive to incorporate beautiful illustrations
made possible by contemporary technology. In this way, the editors of
FG intend to influence in a profoundly positive way the instructions
of geometry, and mathematics in general, up to the college level. We
sincerely hope that participation in this forum, as editors, authors,
and readers, will make teachers better scholars, and scholars better
teachers.
FORUM GEOMETRICORUM covers the following areas listed in the
Mathematics Subject Classification 2000:
Primary: 51Mxx, 51Nxx, 51Axx, 51-02,03,04.
Secondary: 11D04,09,25,41,99; 15-XX; 01-XX.
It shall comprise of the following departments.
(1) MAIN ARTICLES on themes and problems in elementary geometry and
related areas, historical or pedagogical. Articles should be mainly
mathematical and discussions on pedagogical issues should be tangential
but constructive.
(2) SHORT NOTES on interesting problems and new insights on old
theorems. The quality of the short notes should be comparable to the
Notes in the American Mathematical Monthly.
(3) GEOMETRIC CONSTRUCTIONS on the use of dynamic softwares on ruler
and compass constructions.
(4) LETTERS to the EDITORS welcomes constructive criticisms on papers
published in FG, especially relevant bibliographical (and biographical)
informations that escape the attentions of authors, referees, and
editors.
(5) SUPPLEMENTS in yearly CD-editions consisting of computer programs,
and/or longer instructional monographs.

kindly agreed to serve as advisors and editors.
