《計算與應用數學雜志》發表在所有計算與應用數學領域具有高科學價值的原始論文。該雜志的主要興趣在于描述和分析解決科學或工程問題的新計算技術的論文。改進現有方法和算法的分析，包括有效性和適用性，也很重要。計算效率(如收斂性、穩定性、精度等)應通過非平凡的數值例子加以證明和說明。只描述現有方法的變體而不添加重要的新計算特性的論文是沒有意義的。受眾包括:應用數學家、數值分析學家、計算科學家和工程師。

The Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics publishes original papers of high scientific value in all areas of computational and applied mathematics. The main interest of the Journal is in papers that describe and analyze new computational techniques for solving scientific or engineering problems. Also the improved analysis, including the effectiveness and applicability, of existing methods and algorithms is of importance. The computational efficiency (e.g. the convergence, stability, accuracy, ...) should be proved and illustrated by nontrivial numerical examples. Papers describing only variants of existing methods, without adding significant new computational properties are not of interest.The audience consists of: applied mathematicians, numerical analysts, computational scientists and engineers.
