The Mathematical Intelligencer publishes articles about mathematics, about mathematicians, and about the history and culture of mathematics. Written in an engaging, informal style,* our pages inform and entertain a broad audience of mathematicians and the wider intellectual community.
We welcome expository articles on all kinds of mathematics, and articles that portray the diversity of mathematical communities and mathematical thought, emergent mathematical communities around the world, new interdisciplinary trends, and relations between mathematics and other areas of culture. Humor is welcome, as are puzzles, poetry, fiction, and art.
*Note: The traditional Definition/Theorem/Proof style of research articles is not appropriate here, nor are articles aimed only at specialists.

A New Look for the Intelligencer!
The Intelligencer is about to get a new look! New masthead, new logo, new fonts, new colors . . . Because we have quite a number of things already published online, the rollout of the new design will necessarily be gradual. Beginning with issue 44.1 (spring 2022), you’ll see the new masthead, the new format for the front matter, and the new style on any newly typeset articles/columns. But everything in the old format that has already been published online will also appear in the old format in print. Over the course of the coming year, then, we shall see the journal transform itself before our very eyes, slowly taking on its new look from cover to cover!
We hope you will be as excited about the changes as we are!
Karen, Sergei, and David
