The Mathematical Scientist

Contributions published in The Mathematical Scientist may be of six kinds:

(1) research papers of general interest in the mathematical sciences, particularly those where the use of mathematical theory, methods and models provides insight into phenomena studied in the engineering, physical, biological and social sciences;

(2) review papers, and historical surveys;

(3) expository papers on any branch of mathematics which is of general interest;

(4) reports on applications of the mathematical sciences to real life problems;

(5) abstracts and proceedings of appropriate conferences;

(6) unsolved problems, letters to the editor and readers’ comments on any branch of mathematics of general interest.

It is a condition of publication in The Mathematical Scientist that papers shall not previously have appeared elsewhere, and will not be reprinted without the written permission of the Trust. Authors will receive 50 reprints of their paper free of charge.

Papers should be written in English or French; papers in other languages may be accepted by the editors, but will appear (subject to the author's agreement) in English or French translation in The Mathematical Scientist. Scripts should be typewritten, using double spacing, and at least one copy should be on one side of the paper only. Each paper should be accompanied by a short abstract and a list of keywords.

For efficiency in processing, authors are requested to send all submissions to the Applied Probability Office in Sheffield, rather than to individual editors. The submission procedure for The Mathematical Scientist is the same as for Journal of Applied Probability and Advances in Applied Probability.
