Classification

Mathematical Subject Classification 2010

Mathematical Reviews (MR) and Zentralblatt MATH (ZBMATH) collaborate in maintaining the Mathematics Subject Classification (MSC) which is used by these reviewing services and many others to categorize items in the mathematical sciences literature. The MSC has undergone a general revision, with some additions, changes, and corrections, to create MSC2010, the successor to MSC2000, the scheme for the past 10 years. MR and ZBMATH carefully considered input received from the community in recent years, especially since the announcement of the projected revision in December 2006, and used it in the preparation of their joint MSC revision. As anticipated, there are no changes at the two-digit level but refinements have been made at the three- and five-digit levels. By July 2009 MR and ZBMATH started to use MSC2010 as their classification scheme.

MR and ZBMATH welcome and encourage community adoption of MSC2010. Comments can be submitted through the Web form found at http://msc2010.org/feedback or by email to feedback@msc2010.org. All information about MSC2010 is jointly shared by MR and ZBMATH.

The editors and their staffs wish to express their gratitude to the numerous members of the community for their assistance in this lengthy revision process.
