Submission Guidelines for TOMATO

The Department of Mathematics at M.B. Govt. P.G. College, Haldwani, cordially invites faculty members and committed students to submit their original articles for inclusion in the forthcoming January – June 2026 edition of its distinguished official magazine, TOMATO. Submissions are encouraged on a broad spectrum of engaging and diverse topics, including the rich history of number systems, significant Indian contributions to the field of mathematics, and recent groundbreaking advancements across various domains of study. The magazine also welcomes insightful biographies of notable mathematicians who have profoundly influenced our understanding of the discipline. Furthermore, we invite captivating book reviews, creative mathematical poetry, thought-provoking puzzles, and "Back to Basics" content that have been specifically designed to engage and inspire school students in a creative and intellectually enriching way. All articles must be meticulously prepared to not exceed 800 words in length, formatted in a standard 12-point font—Times New Roman for English submissions or Kruti Dev for Hindi entries—and submitted in both Word and PDF formats for convenient access and review. Authors are expected to include clear and informative headings, proper citations supported by a comprehensive bibliography, as well as a brief yet engaging 2–3 sentence biography that underscores their unique expertise and contributions to the field. Completed submissions should be thoughtfully emailed to tomatomagzine@gmail.com with the precise subject line "Article Submission: Your Name" by the critical deadline of May 2026 (05:00 PM IST). For any further inquiries or clarifications, Dr. Narendra Kumar Singh, an esteemed Assistant Professor, will serve as the primary contact and is more than willing to assist with any questions or guidance you may require throughout the submission process.

We invite all students to contribute their insightful articles to TOMATO Magazine to share knowledge, enhance personal learning, and inspire fellow students.

It gives me immense pleasure to address you through this vibrant new edition of TOMATO (Taste of Mathematical Observations). This publication, a labor of love by our Mathematics Department, represents far more than a traditional college magazine; it is a profound celebration of curiosity, logic, and the inherent beauty of abstract thought.

TOMATO elegantly captures the multifaceted nature of Mathematics, offering its readers a flavorful glimpse into the intricate world of numbers, patterns, and puzzles. It showcases ideas that stretch the imagination and challenge our understanding of the world around us. I commend both our faculty and students for their tireless enthusiasm in bringing this initiative to life. I am certain that the insights within these pages will challenge, delight, and inspire you.
