《數學化學雜志》（Jomc）出版了原始的、具有化學重要性的數學結果，這些結果使用了非常規的數學方法，通常是主流實驗和理論化學雜志的讀者所不熟悉的。此外，Jomc還發表了關于更為熟悉的數學技術的新應用和化學問題分析的論文，這些論文表明需要新的數學方法。數學化學是一門真正的跨學科學科，是一個日益重要的領域。隨著化學越來越容易接受數學嚴謹的研究，化學很可能也會成為一個警惕和要求新的數學結果的消費者?；瘜W問題的復雜程度通常很高，建模分子行為和化學反應需要新的數學方法。化學正在經歷一個重要的轉變：簡單化的模型不再令人滿意，需要對復雜的化學性質和現象有更詳細的數學理解。從理論化學、量子化學到分子模型、藥物設計、分子工程、超分子結構發展等應用領域，數理化學是一門既能解釋又能預測的重要學科。JOMC在將化學推進到一個詳細了解分子和反應的時代中具有重要作用。

The Journal of Mathematical Chemistry (JOMC) publishes original, chemically important mathematical results which use non-routine mathematical methodologies often unfamiliar to the usual audience of mainstream experimental and theoretical chemistry journals. Furthermore JOMC publishes papers on novel applications of more familiar mathematical techniques and analyses of chemical problems which indicate the need for new mathematical approaches. Mathematical chemistry is a truly interdisciplinary subject, a field of rapidly growing importance. As chemistry becomes more and more amenable to mathematically rigorous study, it is likely that chemistry will also become an alert and demanding consumer of new mathematical results. The level of complexity of chemical problems is often very high, and modeling molecular behaviour and chemical reactions does require new mathematical approaches. Chemistry is witnessing an important shift in emphasis: simplistic models are no longer satisfactory, and more detailed mathematical understanding of complex chemical properties and phenomena are required. From theoretical chemistry and quantum chemistry to applied fields such as molecular modeling, drug design, molecular engineering, and the development of supramolecular structures, mathematical chemistry is an important discipline providing both explanations and predictions. JOMC has an important role in advancing chemistry to an era of detailed understanding of molecules and reactions.
