ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software
ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software is a quarterly scientific journal that aims to disseminate the latest findings of note in the field of numeric, symbolic, algebraic, and geometric computing applications. It has been published since March 1975 by the Association for Computing Machinery.
The journal is described as follows on the ACM Digital Library page:
The purpose was first stated by its founding editor, Professor John Rice, in the inaugural issue. The decision to found the journal came out of the 1970 Mathematical Software Symposium at Purdue University, also organized by Rice, who negotiated with both SIAM and the ACM regarding its publication.
Algorithms described in the transactions are generally published in Collected Algorithms. Algorithms published in Collected Algorithms since 1975 are available.
Authors publishing in ACM TOMS "are required to transfer the copyright to ACM upon acceptance of the algorithm for publication", and ACM subsequently distributes the software under the ACM Software License Agreement, which is free of charge for noncommercial use only.
The current co-Editors-in-Chief are Zhaojun Bai and Wolfgang Bangerth.
