Mathematics Exchange

ISSN 1550-1736

The Mathematics Exchange is a refereed journal for undergraduate research in the mathematical sciences. It seeks to encourage undergraduate research that goes beyond standard classroom material.

Audience

All undergraduates with majors in any of the mathematical sciences.

Submission and Review Process

We accept articles of interest to all types of mathematics undergraduates (e.g., pure, applied, actuarial, and education). Appropriate papers from other departments and other institutions are also welcome. Often the articles are written by undergraduates individually, working in teams, or working with faculty. On occasion we also include articles written solely by faculty or graduate students as long as they are accessible to undergraduates.  

Articles should be about 5-15 pages in length and should have been looked over by an academic advisor before submission. 

To submit an article, please select ONE member from the editorial board, and forward your material in PDF form, usually prepared by LaTeX (preferred) or Microsoft Word, to the editor you selected. We use double anonymized peer review, your submission should include:

  1. A manuscript without any identifying information such as author names or affiliations and acknowledgments.
  2. A cover letter including the names and affiliations of all authors, and the email address of the corresponding author. If the author is an undergraduate student, then your cover letter must provide the name and contact information of your academic advisor. Also, make sure your manuscript is reviewed by your academic advisor before submission. CC your advisor on submission.

Review and selection of articles is handled by the editorial committee. Editorial changes of accepted articles are communicated through students’ advisors, when appropriate.
