葡萄牙數(shù)學自1937年成立以來，一直致力于在數(shù)學的各個分支領域發(fā)表高水平的研究論文。在創(chuàng)始人的努力下，該雜志得以發(fā)表當時一些最優(yōu)秀的數(shù)學家的文章。2001年，創(chuàng)辦了《葡萄牙數(shù)學》系列叢書，重申了《葡萄牙數(shù)學》雜志的宗旨，即保持高水平、涉獵廣泛的數(shù)學研究期刊。

Since its foundation in 1937, Portugaliae Mathematica has aimed at publishing high-level research articles in all branches of mathematics. With great efforts by its founders, the journal was able to publish articles by some of the best mathematicians of the time. In 2001 a New Series of Portugaliae Mathematica was started, reaffirming the purpose of maintaining a high-level research journal in mathematics with a wide range scope.
