Journal of Mathematics and Music aims to advance the use of mathematical modelling and computation in music theory. The Journal focuses on mathematical approaches to musical structures and processes, including mathematical investigations into music-theoretic or compositional issues as well as mathematically motivated analyses of musical works or performances. In consideration of the deep unsolved ontological and epistemological questions concerning knowledge about music, the Journal is open to a broad array of methodologies and topics, particularly those outside of established research fields such as acoustics, sound engineering, auditory perception, linguistics etc. Three issues of the Journal are published per annual volume, with one issue devoted exclusively to a single topic. The online edition of the Journal provides extended material in the form of sound files, applets, or similar electronic media. The Journal also welcomes the submission of book reviews.

《數學與音樂雜志》旨在促進數學建模和計算在音樂理論中的應用。該雜志側重于音樂結構和過程的數學方法，包括對音樂理論或作曲問題的數學研究，以及對音樂作品或表演的數學分析。考慮到有關音樂知識的深層本體論和認識論問題，該雜志開放了一系列廣泛的方法和主題，特別是那些已建立的研究領域以外的，如聲學，聲音工程，聽覺知覺，語言學等。該雜志每年出版三期，其中一期專門討論一個主題。該雜志的網絡版以聲音文件、小程序或類似電子媒體的形式提供了擴展材料。該雜志還歡迎提交書評。
