The first specialized journal in the field of mathematics, originally it covered only topology, set theory, and foundations of mathematics.[1][2][3][4] It is published by the Mathematics Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
The journal was conceived by Zygmunt Janiszewski as a means to foster mathematical research in Poland.[5] 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;[6] Fundamenta Mathematicae thus became the first specialized journal in the field of mathematics.[1][2][3][4]
Despite Janiszewski having, in a 1918 article, given the initial impetus for the creation of the journal,[7] 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.
The journal is abstracted and indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded,[8] Scopus,[9] and Zentralblatt MATH.[10] According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2016 impact factor of 0.609.[11]

- According to Kuratowski (1980, pp. 31–32) and to 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".
- Kuratowski (1980, pp. 31–32) and One Hundred Volumes (1978, pp. 1–2) stress the fact that these two requirements represented revolutionary decisions at that time.
