EDITORIAL POLICYThe College Mathematics Journal serves all who areinterested in college mathematics. CMJ seeks lively,well-motivated articles that will enrich undergradu-ate instruction and enhance classroom learning, aswell as expository papers that stimulate the thinkingand broaden the perspectives of those who teachundergraduate-level mathematics. Articles involvingall aspects of mathematics are welcome, including his-tory, philosophy, problem solving, pedagogy, applica-tions, computation, and so on. Emphasis is placed ontopics taught in the first two years of college. Contribu-tions from teachers in high schools, two-year colleges,four-year colleges, and universities are welcome.
In addition to articles, CMJ publishes short piecescontaining material suitable for immediate classroomuse, problems, solutions to published problems, stu-dent research projects, media reviews, and all sortsof mathematical ephemera: proofs without words, ar-resting examples of fallacious proofs, mistakes and/orother mathematical anomalies, quotations, poetry, hu-mor, cartoons, and doodles.
SUBMITTING AN ARTICLEFor more information about writing for CMJ, pleasevisit the web site at http://www.maa.org/pubs/cmj.html and follow the links to Information forAuthors and Electronic Production Information.

EarthMath by Henry Segerman shows an Earth-like planet with an unusually com-prehensible pattern of continents and oceans. It is, in fact, a sphere tiled with 12copies of the words ‘Earth’ and ‘Math’ arranged as the faces of a dodecahedron.
Henry Segerman is an assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics atOklahoma State University. He is also a mathematical artist, working mainly inthe medium of 3D printing. His research is in 3-dimensional geometry and topol-ogy. Other interests include procedural generation, self-reference, ambigrams, andpuzzles. Take a look at his web site at http://www.segerman.org.
