  • Each page must be numbered, and the text should be double-spaced.

  • Include your classification of the subject(s) of the article: Algebra, Calculus, Computers (PC or Mac), Differential Equations, Education, Fractals/Chaos, Geometry, Graphing Calculators, History, Linear Algebra, Logic, Number Theory, Numerical Analysis, Operations Research, Optimization, Probability, Problem Solving, Remedial Mathematics, Sets, Software, Statistics, Topology, Trigonometry, Other (specify).

  • Article introductory paragraph(s) should include the purpose of the article for the classroom teacher, and remark about its level.

  • Illustrations must be submitted as digital images in pdf format.

  • References should be listed at the end of the article and include ISSN or ISBN numbers, if available. Categories are separated by commas, and in upper- and lower-case, ending with a period.

PEER REVIEW OF MANUSCRIPTS

            All manuscripts are subject to anonymous review by three or more independent sources (see our current list of referees on the Staff page). Thus, it will usually take five months (not including the summer months) for evaluation of a paper.

            In the case of an article that has not been accepted for publication, Mathematics and Computer Education cannot return manuscript copies, CDs or other media, or referee's reports to the author(s). All article files (those accepted for publication and not accepted for publication) will be retained by the journal office for at most one year.

            Mathematics and Computer Education is an independent, refereed journal, internationally indexed and abstracted, and devoted to: 

  • Critical evaluation and dissemination of articles for the improvement of classroom effectiveness in the first years of college.

  • Encouragement of high academic standards.
