GEOMBINATORICS ISSN 1065-7371

A journal of OPEN PROBLEMS of combinatorial and discrete geometry and related areas.

"This quarterly journal, started by Alexander Soifer at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, specializes in geometry and combinatorics, but what really distinguishes it from the field is attitude!"

-- Paul Kainen

 

 

 



 

"Dear Alex,
Finally got around to reading the October Geombinatorics, which contains more than the usual supply of gems -- the bits by Vizing and Alon were worth more than a year's subscription, if it's not too crass to put a money value on great mathematics, and why should it be, art is sold for money all the time ..."

-- Peter D. Johnson, Dec. 18, 1995

The list of editors is distingished, and Geombinatorics is now reviewed both by MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS and ZENTRALBLATT FÜR MATHEMATIK. The Table of Contents for Vol. VIII, Issue 1 (July 1998) will give an idea of specialization.

Issue 3 of Volume VI (January 1997) was dedicated entirely to the memory of Paul Erdös (1913-1996), a great mathematician and man, greatest problem creator of all time, and an editor of "Geombinatorics", who contributed 15 essays to the 21 issues that appeared during his life. The issue includes a portrait of Paul Erdös by Jaroslav Nešetril, as well as 4 rare photographs. The Table of Contents of the Erdös Issue appears below. In addition to being a part of Volume VI, it sells separately for $10.00 which includes shipping in the U.S. (please, add $1 for orders from Canada and Mexico, $2 outside of North America).

 

Subscription Information:

(ORDER FORM) Articles are written in an informal style so they are more accessible to undergraduate and gifted high school students, than is common in other mathematical journals. Subscriptions are $24 (per year) for individuals, $11 for "subscribers without income" (including all students), and $46 for institutions. Shipping is $4 (per year, July-April) inside the USA, $5 in North America and $12 outside North America (by air). To subscribe, please send your name, institution, street address, city, state, zip/postal code and country information, with payment (in US currency, drawn on an American bank, payable to Geombinatorics) to the following address:
