Orbita Mathematicae is the new journal of the Unión Matemática de América Latina y el Caribe (UMALCA).

Orbita in Classical Latin originally meant, “the track left by a wheel or a way well-worn by one's ancestors”. The Renaissance brought another meaning to this word: “the path of a celestial body when it revolves around another body due to their mutual gravitational attraction”. Finally, modern times added yet another meaning to the Latin Orbita: “the sphere of influence”. The title of the journal reflects the historical evolution of mathematics. All sciences are understood, nowadays, to belong to the Orbita Mathematicae.

The journal Orbita Mathematicae publishes original research articles of the highest level and aims to position itself among the most prestigious international mathematics journals.
