About the Journal
The International Association for Applied Mathematics and Mechanics (Gesellschaft für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, GAMM) has been established as one of the first interdisciplinary organization in the connection of Applied Mathematics and all fields of Mechanics. GAMM defines itself as an interdisciplinary network for researchers from applied mathematics and mechanics as well as their sub- and neighboring fields. It was founded by Ludwig Prandtl and Richard von Mises in 1922. GAMM played a significant role in advancing hydro- and aerodynamics, solid mechanics, and numerical and industrial mathematics.
Being a nonprofit association, GAMM does not pursue any economic interests.
By establishing temporary expert committees on current and future-oriented issues in applied mathematics and mechanics, GAMM promotes the scientific exchange among GAMM members and contributes significantly to the (further) development of these topics in Germany and beyond. The expert committees organize their own workshops, participate in the organization of major national and international conferences, initiate major research projects including outside GAMM, and develop statements on specific problems from the perspective of the respective expert committee. GAMMs DOA-Journals are backed by the scientific expertise of the expert committees.
