* The journal ''[[Eureka (University of Cambridge magazine)|Eureka]]'' published by the mathematical society of the [[University of Cambridge]] is one of the oldest publications in recreational mathematics. It has been published 60 times since 1939 and authors have included many famous mathematicians and scientists such as [[Martin Gardner]], [[John Horton Conway|John Conway]], [[Roger Penrose]], [[Ian Stewart (mathematician)|Ian Stewart]], [[Timothy Gowers]], [[Stephen Hawking]] and [[Paul Dirac]].
* The ''[[Journal of Recreational Mathematics]]'' was the largest publication on this topic from its founding in 1968 until 2014 when it ceased publication.
* ''[[List of Martin Gardner Mathematical Games columns|Mathematical Games]]'' (1956 to 1981) was the title of a long-running ''[[Scientific American]]'' column on recreational mathematics by [[Martin Gardner]].  He inspired several generations of mathematicians and scientists through his interest in mathematical recreations. "Mathematical Games" was succeeded by 25 "[[Metamagical Themas]]" columns (1981-1983), a similarly distinguished, but shorter-running, column by [[Douglas Hofstadter]], then by 78 "Mathematical Recreations" and "Computer Recreations" columns (1984 to 1991) by [[A. K. Dewdney]], then by 96 "Mathematical Recreations" columns (1991 to 2001) by [[Ian Stewart (mathematician)|Ian Stewart]], and most recently "Puzzling Adventures" by [[Dennis Shasha]].
* The [http://rmm.ludus-opuscula.org/ Recreational Mathematics Magazine], published by the [http://ludicum.org/ Ludus Association], is electronic and semiannual, and focuses on results that provide amusing, witty but nonetheless original and scientifically profound mathematical nuggets. The issues are published in the exact moments of the equinox.
