Scope
Aims, scope and focus
Mathematics of Computation is published by American Mathematical Society and is in Zone 1 of Mathematics in the CAS Journal Ranking (2025 upgraded edition, Top journal). By OpenAlex counts of its recent articles, its largest topics are Advanced Numerical Methods in Computational Mathematics, Matrix Theory and Algorithms and Mathematical functions and polynomials, together about 23.8% of its articles. Its main subfields are Computational Theory and Mathematics and Numerical Analysis. (generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)
All articles submitted to this journal are peer-reviewed. The AMS has a single blind 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. This journal 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.
