  • Send an email attachment ( macej@optonline.net ) with the text of the article. Do not send any hard copy. Articles must meet all format guidelines. Authors must send a single MS Word 2003 file with all figures in place, and using Equation Editor (or MathType) for all Mathematical Expressions and Equations.

  • 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.

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 up to six months (not including the summer) 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.

THREE SPECIAL ISSUES ON DEVELOPMENTAL EDUCATION

WERE PRODUCED IN 2003 AND 2004

With support of the Department of Education Fund for the Improvement of Post-Secondary Education three special journal issues were produced under the general heading of Trends in Mathematics Education. The specific themes of these issues are as follows:
 ISSUE 1: Innovative Approaches (Winter 2003 Issue).
 ISSUE 2: Incorporating Technology (Fall 2003 Issue).
 ISSUE 3: Reforming Pedagogy and Instruction (Spring 2004 Issue).
