Publishing opportunities for student writing include the following:
- Pi in the Sky is a math magazine for high school students. Anyone may submit articles, which will be peer reviewed.
- The Mathematical Association of America publishes journals for a broad audience, with an emphasis on the undergraduate level. Anyone may submit articles, and peer review is blind to the educational level of the author. Articles written by undergraduates (and younger) have been accepted.
- SIAM Undergraduate Research Online (SIURO) is a web-based publication by the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) for undergraduate students. It publishes student work in a wide range of applied and computational mathematics topics.
- The Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Mathematics Journal is a publication devoted entirely to papers written by undergraduate students on mathematical topics. The student work must be sponsored by a mathematician familiar with the student’s work.
- The Mathematical Intelligencer publishes articles about mathematics, mathematicians, and the history of mathematics. It does not publish traditional research paper style articles since it aims to reach a broad audience.
- According to its website, the Columbia Undergraduate Science Journal “is a professional-level, open-access science journal that is committed to publishing manuscripts of the highest scholarship resulting from significant scientific research or outstanding scientific analysis. Each paper published in the CUSJ undergoes a double-blind peer review process facilitated by the Journal’s Editorial Review Board and a faculty review by the CUSJ Faculty Advisory Board.”
Writing contests include the following:
- Association for Women in Mathematics Essay Contest: Biographies of Contemporary Women in Mathematics. This contest is open to middle school students, high school students, and undergraduates.
- The Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM) is a multi-day writing and research contest on topics in applied mathematics. The contest is team based and is open to high school students and undergraduates.
