Welcome to the Texas College Mathematics Journal (TX CMJ).

The Texas College Mathematics Journal serves a forum for the exchange of ideas in mathematics and mathematics education. We are currently seeking lively, well-motivated articles that can enrich undergraduate and graduate instruction and enhance classroom learning. Articles involving all aspects of mathematics are welcome.

The precursor to this journal was the Texas Project NExT Journal which consisted of contributed papers by by Texas Project NExT (New Experiences in Teaching) Fellows. The TX CMJ was designed to address the broad spectrum of interests of the Texas Section's membership, including NExT; therefore, the NExT Journal was brought under the umbrella of TX CMJ.
