計算數學基礎(FoCM)將出版高質量的研究和調查論文，進一步了解數學和計算之間的聯系。該雜志旨在促進探索數學、計算機科學和應用領域之間的創造性緊張關系背后的所有基本問題，不受任何外部標準(如應用壓力)的阻礙。因此，該雜志將服務于一個日益重要和適用的數學領域。該雜志希望進一步了解數學理論之間的深層關系:分析、拓撲、幾何和代數，以及隨著現代計算機的發展而演變的計算過程。

Foundations of Computational Mathematics (FoCM) will publish research and survey papers of the highest quality which further the understanding of the connections between mathematics and computation. The journal aims to promote the exploration of all fundamental issues underlying the creative tension among mathematics, computer science and application areas unencumbered by any external criteria such as the pressure for applications. The journal will thus serve an increasingly important and applicable area of mathematics. The journal hopes to further the understanding of the deep relationships between mathematical theory: analysis, topology, geometry and algebra, and the computational processes as they are evolving in tandem with the modern computer.
