Instructions for Authors

Math Horizons is intended primarily for undergraduates interested in mathematics. Our purpose is to introduce students to the world of mathematics outside the classroom. Thus, while we especially value and desire to publish high quality exposition of beautiful mathematics we also wish to publish lively articles about the culture of mathematics. We interpret this quite broadly---we welcome stories of mathematical people, the history of an idea or circle of ideas, applications, fiction, folklore, traditions, institutions, humor, puzzles, games, book reviews, student math club activities, and career opportunities and advice. 

No footnotes please, and while we encourage a suggested reading list at the conclusion of an article, references to essential sources should occur in the text.

Manuscripts may be submitted electronically to both Editors-Elect Stephen Abbott (abbott@middlebury.edu) and Bruce Torrence (btorrenc@rmc.edu). The preferred electronic form is an MSWord document. Text files and LaTeX submissions are also acceptable.

If submitting by mail, please send two copies to:
