IMA Journal of Applied Mathematics

Aims & Scope

The IMA Journal of Applied Mathematics is a direct successor of the Journal of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications which was started in 1965.

It is an interdisciplinary journal that publishes research on mathematics arising in the physical sciences and engineering as well as suitable articles in the life sciences, social sciences, and finance.

Submissions should address interesting and challenging mathematical problems arising in applications.

A good balance between the development of the application(s) and the analysis is expected.

Papers that either use established methods to address solved problems or that present analysis in the absence of applications will not be considered.

The journal welcomes submissions in many research areas.

Examples are: continuum mechanics materials science and elasticity, including boundary layer theory, combustion, complex flows and soft matter, electrohydrodynamics and magnetohydrodynamics, geophysical flows, granular flows, interfacial and free surface flows, vortex dynamics; elasticity theory; linear and nonlinear wave propagation, nonlinear optics and photonics; inverse problems; applied dynamical systems and nonlinear systems; mathematical physics; stochastic differential equations and stochastic dynamics; network science; industrial applications.
