About the journal
Welcome to Experimental Mathematics, a journal devoted to experimental aspects of mathematics research. It publishes formal results inspired by experimentation, conjectures suggested by experiments, descriptions of algorithms and software for mathematical exploration, surveys of areas of mathematics from the experimental point of view, and general articles of interest to the community.
Instructions to Authors
Submission Guidelines
To submit a contribution, you may either send email with a PDF or DVI attachment or an address from which the paper can be downloaded, or send four printed copies of the material to:
Experimental Mathematics
A K Peters, Ltd.
63 South Ave.
Natick, MA 01760-4626
Submission of a paper implies that the work has not been published before, except perhaps in the form of an abstract or as part of a lecture, review, or thesis; that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere; that its publication has been approved by all authors and (if appropriate) by the institution at which the work was carried out; and that, if and when the manuscript is accepted for publication, the authors agree that the article will not be published elsewhere. Submissions will be acknowledged, but not returned.
Charges
There are no page charges for publications, but authors are expected to contribute to the cost of color illustrations in their articles, if applicable. Rates will take into account available funding and editorial necessity.
Offprints
Each author will receive 25 free offprints of his/her work.
Manuscript Requirements
Manuscripts must be in English, French, or German. They should be written clearly and concisely. We reserve the right to edit contributions for style and format, with changes subject to the authors' approval.
All submissions must include the following elements:
Title
Postal address, affiliation (if appropriate), and electronic address (if available) for each author
An abstract of at most 150 words, in the same language as the article, and an English translation if the article is not in English.
References
References should include full information: author or institution, full title, publisher, city and year (for books, manuals, etc.); or full journal name, volume, year, and page range (for papers). References to software should contain complete manufacturer's or distributor's names and addresses. All references in the bibliography should be cited in the text, or accompanied by comments stating their relevance. Reference tags in the text should include author's last name and year of publication, in brackets [Poincar?1901]. Use a comma to separate a tag from a subsequent page or section number, and semicolons to separate several tags in the same brackets. Make sure to include references to software documentation.
Figures
The following types of figures are acceptable:
Electronically generated figures;
Traditional hand-drawn figures, in india ink on glossy paper or vellum
Black-and-white and color photographs, of reproduction quality
For hand-drawn figures and photographs, the original and three clear copies should accompany the four copies of the text.
For electronically generated figures, you can use photographs or printouts for the submission, but you must supply the electronic source files if your article is accepted for publication. Under no circumstances will we reproduce low-resolution hard copy or screen photographs.
Figure source files should be in Encapsulated Postscript (EPS) or in a form that can be converted to EPS, such as GnuPlot or Mathematica input. Many drawing tools such as Adobe Illustrator and Aldus FreeHand can produce EPS output. If your figure contains bitmaps, please generate them at the highest possible resolution: Before taking a screen dump, for example, resize the window, if possible, to occupy the whole screen. When in doubt as to whether your figure source is in an acceptable format, contact us.
For each figure, please supply a caption and a number by which the figure is referred to in the text. If possible, integrate the figures with the text; otherwise, indicate their optimal placement by means of a comment such as "Place Figure 1 here". In referring to the figure, avoid constructions ("the curve looks like this:") that require the exact placement to be known in advance.
Note that there may be charges for color.
Programs
Experimental Mathematics does not publish programs in printed form. You can include short illustrative excerpts from your programs, either within the text itself (maximum of three lines) or as a separate display. Please supply a caption and a number for each displayed listing. Keep in mind that many readers will not be familiar with the programming language in which your program is written; it is almost always better to explain what a program does in words than to let the program speak for itself.
Similar considerations apply to program output and interactive sessions.
Electronic Text
If your article is accepted, it is helpful for us to have the text in electronic form. You can send it by FTP or by email; you will be contacted with details. If you have no access to FTP or email, you can send a 3.5" diskette in MS-DOS, Macintosh, or UNIX (tar or bar) format or a CD-Rom.
Experimental Mathematics is typeset in LaTeX. This means that the production time is shorter if the article is written in LaTeX or other variants of TeX than otherwise. However, having the text in electronic form helps even if it is not in TeX.
Most word-processing and typesetting systems allow you to save the copy in text-only or ASCII mode, where the formatting codes are discarded, and only the text is kept, in a format that approximates that of the typeset document as well as possible. Please use this option when saving your text for production in Experimental Mathematics.
The rest of this section concerns authors who are using TeX in one of its variants. Here again, there are many things you can do to help the editor's and compositor's work and expedite production.
You should preferably use LaTeX's article style or AmSTeX's amsppt style. Whether you use one of these styles, another style, or another variant of TeX such as plain TeX, indicate at the top of the file what system you're using.
Don't use two-column format.
Be as consistent as possible in using your own macros. Put them into a file that is input at the top the document, after all style files. Do not embed any new definitions in your text. Avoid redefining existing TeX, AmSTeX or LaTeX commands.
Avoid using explicit vertical spacing commands such as \vskip, \medskip, \bigbreak. Default spacing is provided by \beginsection, \proclaim, \demo, etc. in AmSTeX and plain TeX, and by \begin{theorem}, \section, etc., in LaTeX. To set off a paragraph or a portion of your text other than proofs, theorems, exercises, etc., you may add extra space, but please provide the compositor with a comment line (a line preceded by %) to make sure this space will not be eliminated in reformatting.
Likewise, avoid using explicit horizontal spacing commands. If you must use extra spacing, do it consistently, by means of a macro that can be adjusted globally by the compositor if necessary. Please add a comment if a specific spacing convention is to be retained.
Do not, under any circumstances, insert forced line breaks or page breaks in your document. There is no point in your trying to optimize line breaks and page breaks in the original manuscript, since they will not be preserved in the journal's two-column format. Forced breaks just confuse the compositor.
Set off displayed equations with $$ on a line by itself.
In general, if you want certain elements to be kept together, or displayed in a particular fashion, add a comment line for the compositor in your electronic files or indicate it in your hard copy.
