Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In 2026, we will proudly mark the 30th Anniversary of Mathematical and Computational Applications (MCA) (ISSN: 2297-8747), a journal committed to applications of mathematical and/or computational techniques. Over the 30 years, MCA has become an important forum for studies related to applied mathematics and computational techniques.
To celebrate this milestone, we are curating a Special Issue that reflects on the progress of mathematical and/or computational techniques over the past 30 years. Papers may be theoretical, where mathematics is used in a nontrivial way, computational, or a combination of both. The included research may be in the fields of engineering (electrical, mechanical, civil, industrial, aeronautical, nuclear, etc.) or natural sciences (physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology, etc.), among others.
We warmly invite researchers to contribute original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and short communications. Submissions should fit the scope of the journal and be of high quality. The journal has no restrictions regarding the maximum length of papers. Authors are encouraged to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible so that the results may be reproduced. Manuscripts concerning new and innovative research proposals and ideas are particularly welcome; software, datasets, or instructive videos complementing the research may be uploaded as supplementary materials.

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. Mathematical and Computational Applications 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 1600 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.
