History of the MAA Journals

The three journals of the Mathematical Association of America are the American Mathematical Monthly, Mathematics Magazine, and the College Mathematics Journal.

The American Mathematical Monthly	Mathematics Magazine	The College Mathematics Journal

The American Mathematical Monthly publishes articles, notes, and other features about mathematics and the profession. Its readers span a broad spectrum of mathematical interests and abilities. Authors are invited to submit articles and notes that bring interesting mathematical ideas to a wide audience of Monthly readers.	Mathematics Magazine presents articles and notes on undergraduate mathematical topics in a lively expository style that appeals to students and faculty throughout the undergraduate years. Mathematics Magazine is published five times per year.	The College Mathematics Journal emphasizes the first two years of the college mathematics curriculum. CMJ publishes a wide range of material intended to stimulate and entertain teachers and students, and, more generally, enhance and develop the teaching of undergraduate mathematics.
