MathAMATYC Educator is a publication of the American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges. Its purpose is to provide an avenue of communication for all mathematics educators concerned with the views, ideas, and experiences pertinent to two-year college teachers and students.

Subject Matter: The editorial team of MathAMATYC Educator is interested in articles that focus on mathematics teaching and learning at two-year colleges. We are particularly interested in those articles that address issues pertinent to the following areas:

We encourage articles that are research based and articles that offer practical applications that can be used in the classroom. All articles should be the original work of the authors and should not have been previously published in other journals. Authors are encouraged to offer personal opinions and suggestions. Letters to the editor are encouraged and should comment on previously published articles or offer opinions on topics pertinent to mathematics education at two year colleges.

Technology: Technology-oriented articles should focus on technology used as a teaching aid or technology used as a mathematical tool. The major intent of an article should be to help the reader learn how to incorporate the technology into their teaching or a student's learning of a mathematical concept not the promotion of a specific product.

Review Criteria: MathAMATYC Educator is a refereed publication. Three mathematics educators review each appropriate submission: two members of the review panel and a member of the Editorial Panel. The Editorial Panel member will analyze all reviews and make a recommendation to the Editor on the acceptance or rejection of an article. The Editor makes final decisions on the publication of articles.

The following review criteria are used:

Regular Sections: Authors are invited to submit articles in the following areas:

The Editor may choose to review articles submitted for the regular sections of the MathAMATYC Educator.

Manuscript Style: Articles may vary in length from less than one page up to about 15 pages (typed, double-spaced, with wide margins - see production guidelines). Brief, "to the point," articles are encouraged.

MathAMATYC Educator uses The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association Fifth Edition (2002) as its style reference. In particular, note that the author-date method is used for citations within the text, e.g.

Smith and Jones (1987) demonstrated that…

The reference list at the end of the article should include only the sources that were used in the preparation of the article. References should be arranged in alphabetical order by the surname of the first author.

To provide for anonymous reviews, the author's name and affiliation should appear ONLY on a separate title page giving complete mailing address, voice and fax numbers, and e-mail address. The title should also appear on the first page of the exposition.

Submission: Send an electronic file of articles for possible publication to:
