Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Engineering and applied sciences are undergoing a profound transformation, driven by the increasing power and sophistication of computational mathematics. The ability to model, simulate, and optimize complex systems has become indispensable for innovation and problem-solving across all engineering disciplines. From designing next-generation materials to optimizing sustainable energy systems and developing intelligent infrastructure, advanced computational methods are at vital for modern scientific discovery and technological advancement.
This Special Issue, "Computational Mathematics Methods and Applications in Engineering Science," will bring together leading researchers, scientists, and engineers to share their latest theoretical advancements and practical applications in this dynamic field. We seek to create a comprehensive collection of high-impact articles that not only showcase novel mathematical techniques but also demonstrate their successful application to solve pressing real-world engineering challenges. This Special Issue’s scope is intentionally broad to foster cross-disciplinary collaboration, highlighting the universal power of computational mathematics as a foundational tool for modern engineering.
We invite submissions of original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and insightful communications that bridge the gap between mathematical theory and engineering practice.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
