The East African Journal of Mathematics (EAJM) is a peer-reviewed, open-access scholarly publication dedicated to advancing mathematical research and education across Eastern Africa and beyond. The journal serves as a premier platform for disseminating original research that addresses both theoretical and applied mathematical challenges with particular relevance to African contexts.

Primary Aims:

• To promote high-quality mathematical research originating from East Africa and the broader African continent
• To foster interdisciplinary collaborations that apply mathematical thinking to regional development challenges
• To provide a reputable publication venue for early-career mathematicians and graduate students in the region
• To bridge the gap between pure mathematical research and practical applications in African contexts
• To encourage mathematical innovation that addresses unique regional problems in areas such as agriculture, public health, environmental sustainability, and economic development

Scope and Coverage:

EAJM welcomes contributions across all major mathematical disciplines, with special emphasis on:

• Pure Mathematics (Algebra, Analysis, Geometry, Number Theory, Topology)
• Applied Mathematics (Differential Equations, Mathematical Modeling, Numerical Analysis)
• Statistics and Probability Theory
• Computational Mathematics and Scientific Computing
• Mathematics Education and Pedagogy
• Operations Research and Optimization
• Financial Mathematics and Econometrics
• Mathematical Biology and Epidemiology

The journal particularly encourages submissions that demonstrate applications of mathematics to African development priorities, including climate modeling, disease dynamics, agricultural optimization, and educational research.
