MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION AND REQUIREMENTS

Application and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM) invites contributions from throughout the world. Previously published papers will not be accepted. By submitting a manuscript, the submitting authors agree the originality of the contents.  The submitting authors must also agree not to publish elsewhere papers submitted to and accepted by the AAM International Journal.

Submitting of a manuscript for review should be typed with 1 inch (2.5 centimeter) margins.  Authors must choose two possible 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification (MSC) from http://www.ams.org/msc/ for their manuscripts and indicate them in their submission notes. The manuscripts should be concise and not to exceed 15 single-spaced pages including all graphs, tables, and appendices. Additional pages may be subject to charge, up to 10 paid pages may be accepted, making the maximum length of a paper as 25 single-spaced pages.

The abstract should not exceed 150 words and should not contain any formula or references. The abstract should be followed by keywords, not to exceed 7, then two MSC 2000 Classification numbers. 
 
Acknowledgment (recommended) is optional and should be placed at the end of the manuscript before the “References”.
 
Manuscripts should be self-consistent. All special symbols and units should be properly defined. Computer programs should be given by an original printout. Final version of the accepted manuscripts must me be single-spaced camera-ready MS Word formatted. All symbols must be in “Math” format, i.e., italized.
 
Tables and figures should be referred to in the text. They should be numbered consecutively and fully titled.
 
References in the text to cite literature must be presented with the name(s) of the author(s) followed by the year in parenthesis, or the year and the page. For instance, Haghighi and Mishev (2008), and Durham, et al. (1995, p. 160). Bibliography at the end of manuscripts should be arranged according to one of the following examples:
