该杂志在两个领域发表了高科学质量的原始研究论文:数学建模和数值分析。数学模型包括对一个问题(或一类问题)的数学公式的发展和研究，例如结构、适定性、解的性质。数值分析包括对一个数学问题(或一类问题)的数值逼近或求解方法的公式和研究，例如稳定性、收敛性、计算复杂度。
The journal publishes original research papers of high scientific quality in two areas: Mathematical Modelling, and Numerical Analysis. Mathematical Modelling comprises the development and study — e.g. structure, well-posedness, solution properties — of a mathematical formulation of a problem (or class of problems). Numerical Analysis comprises the formulation and study — e.g. stability, convergence, computational complexity — of a numerical approximation or solution approach to a mathematically formulated problem (or class of problems).
