ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software

Aims & Scope

As a scientific journal, ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software (TOMS) documents the theoretical underpinnings of numeric, symbolic, algebraic, and geometric computing applications.

It focuses on analysis and construction of algorithms and programs, and the interaction of programs and architecture.

Algorithms documented in TOMS are available as the Collected Algorithms of the ACM at calgo.acm.org.
