SIAGA

A new journal, the SIAM Journal on Applied Algebra and Geometry, will start taking submissions on March 23, 2016. From the description:

[SIAGA] publishes research articles of exceptional quality on the development of algebraic, geometric, and topological methods with strong connection to applications. Areas from mathematics that are covered include algebraic geometry, algebraic and topological combinatorics, algebraic topology, commutative and noncommutative algebra, convex and discrete geometry, differential geometry, multilinear and tensor algebra, number theory, representation theory, symbolic and numerical computation. Application areas include biology, coding theory, complexity theory, computer graphics, computer vision, control theory, cryptography, data science, game theory and economics, geometric design, machine learning, optimization, quantum computing, robotics, social choice, and statistics.

The poster for the new journal includes 7 pictures, which you can read about on Anna Seigal’s blog.
