ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software (TOMS) is a quarterly scientific journal that aims to disseminate the latest findings of note in the field of numeric, symbolic, algebraic, and geometric computing applications.
The journal publishes two kinds of articles: Regular research papers that advance the development of algorithms and software for mathematical computing, and "algorithms papers" that describe a specific implementation of an algorithm and that are accompanied by the source code for this algorithm.
Algorithms described in the transactions are generally published in the Collected Algorithms of the ACM (CALGO).[1][2] Algorithms published since 1975 (and some earlier ones) are all still available.
Software that accompanies algorithm papers is accessible by anyone via the CALGO website.[3]
