Mathematical Foundations of Machine Learning (MFML) is a forum for the publication of highest-quality peer-reviewed papers on the broad mathematical foundations of machine learning.

• Encourages papers concerned with all pure and applied mathematical aspects of machine learning, with a particular focus on foundational work.
• Explicitly encourages papers of conceptual value residing in the synthesis of mathematical theories and their application to fundamental problems in machine learning theory and practice.
• All papers must be characterised by originality and mathematical rigour; survey papers are welcome as well and must exhibit originality in the synthesis of the material and their vantage point.
• For a paper to be accepted, it is not enough that it contain original results. In fact, results should be highly relevant to the mathematical foundations of machine learning with a wide readership in mind.

Aims and scope Mathematical Geosciences (formerly Mathematical Geology) publishes original, high-quality, interdisciplinary papers in geomathematics focusing on quantitative methods and studies of the Earth, its natural resources and the environment.  This international publication is the official journal of the IAMG.   Mathematical Geosciences is an essential reference for researchers and practitioners of geomathematics who develop and apply quantitative models to earth science and geo-engineering problems.  Renaming the journal as of January 1, 2008 aims to better reflect the content of the journal and meets the growing multi-disciplinary interests and diversity of our readers and contributors.

This journal is jointly sponsored by Gesellschaft fuer Operations Research (The German OR Society) and the Nederlands Genootschap voor Besliskunde (The Dutch OR Society). It features contributions to mathematics, statistics, and computer science that have special relevance to operations research. The journal publishes theoretical and applied papers with substantial mathematical interest in the areas of mathematical programming, continuous and discrete and combinatorial optimization, stochastic models, Markov decision processes and stochastic programming, dynamic programming, control theory, game theory, graphs and networks, queueing systems, inventory and reliability. The journal also covers mathematical methods and applications in economics, business administration, finance, and engineering. In addition, Mathematical Methods of Operations Research includes a special section devoted to review papers on mathematical methods and models in interesting fields of operations research and related optimization theory

The journal is dedicated to the mathematical foundations of statistical theory. It primarily publishes research papers with complete proofs and, occasionally, survey papers on particular fields of statistics. Papers dealing with applications of statistics are also published if they contain new theoretical developments to the underlying statistical methods. The journal provides an outlet for research in advanced statistical methodology and for studies where such methodology is effectively used or which stimulate its further development.

Mathematical Models and Computer Simulations is concerned with a variety of aspects of computer-assisted modeling and simulation in science and technology: the investigation of scientific problems and construction of mathematical models, the development of numerical methods, the computer test of the models, construction of computer codes for actual applied problems, and another cases studies.The journal publishes reviews, original articles, abstracts of preprints, reports and manuscripts. The particular problem oriented papers are devoted to controlled fusion, supersonic flows around aircraft, semiconductor technology, plasma chemistry, economics, and problems of social life.

This is the official journal of the Mathematical Optimization Society. It publishes original articles dealing with every aspect of mathematical programming: everything of direct or indirect use concerning the problem of optimizing a function of many variables, often subject to a set of constraints. This involves theoretical and computational issues as well as application studies. Mathematical Programming consists of two series: Series A publishes original research articles, expositions and surveys, and reports on computational experimentation and new or innovative practical applications as well as short communications dealing with the above. Each issue of Series B focuses on a single subject, selected to respond to the current interests of the mathematical programming community and has one or more guest-editors, who need not be members of the editorial board. An issue may be a collection of original articles, a single research monograph or a selection of papers from an appropriate conference.

Mathematical Programming Computation (MPC) publishes original research articles covering computational issues in mathematical programming. Articles report on innovative software, comparative tests, modeling environments, libraries of data, and/or applications. A main feature of the journal is the inclusion of accompanying software and data with submitted manuscripts. The journal's review process includes the evaluation and testing of the accompanying software. Where possible, the review will aim for verification of reported computational results. Topics covered in MPC include linear programming, convex optimization, nonlinear optimization, stochastic optimization, robust optimization, integer programming, combinatorial optimization, global optimization, network algorithms, and modeling languages.

The Mathematics Education Research Journal, an official journal of the Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia (MERGA), is an international refereed journal that provides a forum for the publication of research in the teaching and learning of mathematics at all levels.
