Editor's preface to the two papers on chronology and dating

Editor's preface to the two papers on chronology and dating Acta Applicandae Mathematicae 17: 201-202. 1989. 201 © 1989 Kluwer Academic Pldglishers. Printed in the Netherlands. Editor's Preface to the Two Papers on Chronology and Dating Dating ancient records of, say, astronomical data or historical events, has always been a central problem. And certainly the currently more or less accepted dates and chronologies are by no means as certain as, for instance, our high-school textbooks would like to make us believe. This applies, among other things, to the dating of the justly famous star catalogue in the Almagest, cf. Section 1 of the first of the two papers that follow for more details on this point. One of the authors of the two papers that follow, A. T. Fomenko of the Moscow State University, recently introduced new empirico-statistical methods in chronology. These methods use ideas from geometry and statistics, and an essential feature is that they are based on mathematical models concerning the genesis of the historical records available and concerning the errors that can occur in them.
