Diskussion:Jahrbuch über die Fortschritte der Mathematik

A bit more history?

I have heard that the current Mathematical Subject Classification, which is maintained by the American Mathematical Society and by Zentralblatt MATH, began with the Jahrbuch but also that the English Royal Society earlier had a similar indexing scheme. Does anyone know a source for this? (I know this is the German wiki; please excuse my English!) Jfgrcar 20:53, 4. Dez. 2009 (CET)
