Instructions for Authors
Math Horizons is intended primarily for undergraduates interested in mathematics. 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 Editor-elect David Richeson (mathhorizons@maa.org). The preferred electronic form is an MS Word document. Text files and LaTeX submissions are also acceptable.
If submitting by mail, please send a hard copy to:

Electronic submissions (preferred) may be sent to gordong@lafayette.edu. Please include your name, email address, school affiliation, and indicate if you are a student. If a problem has multiple parts, solutions for individual parts will be accepted. Unless otherwise stated, problems have been solved by their proposers.
