Acta Numerica是過去兩年MathSciNet中引用最多的期刊。它每年收集的評論文章包括由數字分析和科學計算領域的主要研究人員撰寫的調查論文。這些論文概述了最近的進展，并提供了最先進的技術和分析。涵蓋了數字分析的廣度，文章的寫作風格可為各級研究人員所接受，并可作為先進的教學輔助。廣泛的學科領域包括線性代數的計算方法、最優化、常微分方程和偏微分方程、逼近理論、隨機分析和非線性動力系統，以及計算技術在科學和工程中的應用，以及作為數值方法基礎的數學理論。

Acta Numerica is the top-cited journal for the last two years in MathSciNet. Its annual collection of review articles includes survey papers by leading researchers in numerical analysis and scientific computing. The papers present overviews of recent advances and provide state-of-the-art techniques and analysis. Covering the breadth of numerical analysis, articles are written in a style accessible to researchers at all levels and can serve as advanced teaching aids. Broad subject areas for inclusion are computational methods in linear algebra, optimization, ordinary and partial differential equations, approximation theory, stochastic analysis and nonlinear dynamical systems, as well as the application of computational techniques in science and engineering and the mathematical theory underlying numerical methods.
