該雜志的目的是為傳播數學和計算機領域的最新信息提供一個國際論壇，特別是(但不限于)因為它們適用于一般的系統動力學、模擬和科學計算。出版的材料范圍從簡短、簡明的研究論文到更一般的教程文章。《數學與計算機模擬》月刊是國際數學與計算機模擬協會(前身為AICA)的官方機構。該協會成立于1955年，1956年正式成立，與IFIP、IFAV、IFORS和IMEKO一起，是FIACC(五個國際協會協調委員會)的成員。該雜志涵蓋的主題包括數學工具包括:?系統建模的基礎?數值分析和仿真算法的開發它們還包括計算機模擬硬件、特殊軟件和編譯器的考慮。該雜志還發表了關于科學和工程中建模和仿真的具體應用，以及相關的應用數學、系統仿真的一般哲學及其對學科和跨學科研究的影響的文章。該雜志包括一個書評部分——以及一個“關于IMACS的新聞”部分，其中包含了未來會議/活動的日歷以及關于該協會的其他信息。

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, published monthly, is the official organ of IMACS, the International Association for Mathematics and Computers in Simulation (Formerly AICA). This Association, founded in 1955 and legally incorporated in 1956 is a member of FIACC (the Five International Associations Coordinating Committee), together with IFIP, IFAV, IFORS and IMEKO.Topics covered by the journal include mathematical tools in:?The foundations of systems modelling?Numerical analysis and the development of algorithms for simulationThey also include considerations about computer hardware for simulation and about special software and compilers.The journal also publishes articles concerned with specific applications of modelling and simulation in science and engineering, with relevant applied mathematics, the general philosophy of systems simulation, and their impact on disciplinary and interdisciplinary research.The journal includes a Book Review section -- and a "News on IMACS" section that contains a Calendar of future Conferences/Events and other information about the Association.
