Mathematics of Computation (original) (raw)

Journal overview:

Aims and Scope

Published by the American Mathematical Society since 1960 (published as Mathematical Tables and other Aids to Computation 1943-1959), Mathematics of Computation is devoted to research articles of the highest quality in computational mathematics. Areas covered include numerical analysis, computational discrete mathematics, including number theory, algebra and combinatorics, and related fields such as stochastic numerical methods. Articles must be of significant computational interest and contain original and substantial mathematical analysis or development of computational methodology.

Peer Review

All articles appearing in this journal are peer reviewed by external reviewers. Editors may reject papers without external review that are not suitable for publication in the journal due to reasons such as subject mater or clear weaknesses in scientific content or presentation style. Mathematics of Computation has a single-anonymous peer-review process in which the reviewers know who the authors of the manuscript are, but the authors do not have access to the information on who the peer reviewers are. Questions about the initial submission process should be directed to [email protected].

Submission information:

Information can be found on the journal's Submission for Peer Review page. Please note that authors are limited to three submissions within any 12-month period.

Digitized archive:

The AMS Journals Digitization Project has established a complete digital archive of the back issues of Mathematics of Computation from 1943 to 1995. All of these back issues are freely available electronically with fully searchable content. The digitization of the back issues of Mathematics of Computation was made possible through the generous support of an anonymous donor. To access this material click on "All Issues: 1943-Present."

Submission

All articles submitted to this journal are peer-reviewed. Mathematics of Computation has a single anonymous process in which the reviewers know who the authors of the manuscript are, but the authors do not have access to the information on who the peer reviewers are. The AMS uses Centralized Manuscript Processing for initial submissions to AMS journals. The preferred method of submission is to upload a PDF file using the Initial Manuscript Submission form. Authors are limited to three submissions to Mathematics of Computation within any 12-month period.

An alternate method is to send one copy of the paper to the following address:

Centralized Manuscript Processing
MATHEMATICS OF COMPUTATION
201 Charles Street
Providence, Rhode Island
02904-2213 USA

If a paper copy is being forwarded to the AMS, the following information is required with the submission (note that all contact information, particularly email addresses, must be supplied to avoid delay):

No paper that has been previously published, or is being considered for publication elsewhere, should be submitted to the American Mathematical Society, nor may a paper that is under consideration by the American Mathematical Society be submitted elsewhere.

Included with the footnotes to the paper should be the 2020 Mathematics Subject Classification representing the primary and secondary subjects of the article.

The AMS Author Resource Center provides TeX Resources, the AMS Style Guide, the Mathematics Subject Classification, and further useful tools for preparing your manuscript. Journal abbreviations used in bibliographies are available for download.

After Acceptance

Once a paper has been accepted for publication, authors should follow the online Submission Instructions.

All authors must submit the Consent to Publish. All authors must agree regarding the Copyright Agreement. If the article is to be published in one of the AMS Open Access journals, authors must agree which Creative Commons License will be selected. Authors are encouraged to use AMS-prepared style files in preparing their papers.

Useful Tools

An abstract is required. It must be brief, reasonably self-contained, and not exceed 300 words. The AMS offers free worldwide access to the electronic abstracts.
