This journal's primary areas are applied (practical) problems of mathematics, operations research, engineering and statistics without compromising mathematical precision. Articles that address both the theoretical aspects and the application aspects (including computational) are particularly encouraged. In addition, articles dealing with applied mathematical sciences that have a practical implication will be considered. Critical surveys of new advances in theory and application and expository classroom notes and essays of professional interest will also be featured. Journal of Applied Mathematics and Decision Sciences also includes occasional book and software reviews, case studies from industry, and a student interests section.
