This is the story of American mathematics during the past century. It contains articles and excerpts from a century of the American Mathematical Monthly, giving the reader an opportunity to skim all one hundred volumes of this popular mathematics magazine without actually opening them. It samples mathematics year by year and decade by decade. The reader can glimpse the mathematical community at the turn of the century, the controversy about Einstein and relativity, the debates about formalism in logic, the immigration of mathematicians from Europe, and the frantic effort to organize as the war began. More recent articles deal with the advent of computers and the changes they brought, and with some of the triumphs of modern research.

1. The early years: 1894–1920; 2. A maturing association; 3. A maturing monthly: 1931–1940; 4. Battles and wars: 1941–1950; 5. Mathematics gets serious: 1951–1960; 6. Mathematics expands: 1961–1970; 7. Modern times: 1971–1993.
