The aim of the journal is to provide an international forum for the dissemination of up-to-date information in the fields of the mathematics and computers, in particular (but not exclusively) as they apply to the dynamics of systems, their simulation and scientific computation in general. Published material ranges from short, concise research papers to more general tutorial articles.Mathematics and Computers in Simulation, is the official organ of the International Association for Mathematics and Computers in Simulation (IMACS).Topics covered by the journal include: mathematical tools in the foundations of systems modelling specific applications in science and engineering numerical analysis and the development of algorithms for simulation considerations about hardware for simulation (digital, analog and hybrid) special software and compilers the general philosophy of systems simulation, and its impact on disciplinary and interdisciplinary research.
