- Smarandache Notions - J. Castillo
A journal for papers related to the work of Florentin Smarandache, who in the 1960s proposed some new geometries: Non-Geometry, Counter-Projective Geometry, Anti-Geometry, and Paradoxist geometry, which would generalize and unite Euclid, Lobachevsky/Bolyai/Gauss,

- Taxicab Angles and Trigonometry - Thompson, Dray
Taxicab geometry is essentially the study of an ideal city with all roads
running horizontal or vertical. The roads must be used to get from point A to point B; thus, the normal Euclidean distance function in the plane needs to be modified. Article abstract:
