American Institute of Mathematical Sciences

Areas covered include coding theory, cryptology, combinatorics, finite geometry, algebra, and number theory, but are not restricted to these. This journal also aims to cover the algorithmic and computational aspects of these disciplines. Hence, all mathematics and computer science contributions of appropriate depth and relevance to the communications technology applications mentioned above are welcome.

All papers will undergo a thorough peer-reviewing process unless the paper's subject matter does not fit the journal; in this case, the author will be informed promptly. Every effort will be made to secure a decision in three months and publish accepted papers within six months.
