應用數學研究探索數學與應用學科之間的相互作用。它發表論文，促進對物理過程的理解，或開發適用于物理和現實問題的新的數學技術。它的主要主題包括(但不限于)物理數學方法，數學建模，可積系統，漸近，反問題，數值分析，動力系統，科學計算和應用領域，如流體力學，數學生物學，波動現象和光學。

Studies in Applied Mathematics explores the interplay between mathematics and the applied disciplines. It publishes papers that advance the understanding of physical processes, or develop new mathematical techniques applicable to physical and real-world problems. Its main themes include (but are not limited to) methods in physical mathematics, mathematical modeling, integrable systems, asymptotics, inverse problems, numerical analysis, dynamical systems, scientific computing and applications to areas such as fluid mechanics, mathematical biology, wave phenomena and optics.
