Mathematics and Its Applications in Science and Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue invites papers on new and innovative proposals of Mathematics in science and engineering, i.e., the use of mathematics in non-mathematical contexts. This proposal aims to publish results from Mathematics applications, such as the use of differential equations to model structures, the shape of a machine or the growth of a population, or to ensure information security through cryptographic protocols.

The added value is that it will include results from recent years, which is of particular importance since mathematical education has been changing and acquiring a different role in undergraduate and graduate degrees in the past few years, and recent changes in the educational paradigm demand a comprehensive revision of the teaching and learning methodologies. Innovation in educational contexts should reach a consensus regarding how mathematical competencies are evaluated. In this Special Issue, our goal is to integrate different methodologies for mathematical education and how they are evaluated.

Potential topics include but are not limited to:

• Mathematical modeling for science and engineering applications;
• Optimization and control in engineering applications;
• Numerical methods for science and engineering applications;
• Mathematics in engineering and sciences studies;
• Good practices in motivating students for learning mathematics during university studies;
• Assessing mathematics using applications and projects;
• Teaching and assessment methodologies in science and engineering.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
