About Journal
Mathematical Finance brings together work on the mathematical aspects of
finance theory from such diverse fields as finance, economics, mathematics, and
statistics. An essential resource for academic finance researchers and
practitioners alike, the journal publishes clear and concise articles which
present the latest theoretical developments. Modern finance is becoming
increasingly technical, requiring the use of sophisticated mathematical tools
in both research and practice. Mathematical Finance offers a forum for the
publication of articles which employ these techniques, as well as providing a
much-needed bridge between mathematical scientists and financial economists.
Mathematical Finance has been ranked 3rd in the category of Social
Sciences/Mathematical Methods, and 6th in the category of Business and Finance
journals according to the latest ISI rankings.

General Guidelines for Authors
The paper should be
formatted as follows. Double-space all
lines, including footnotes and references. The title page should include the
authors, their affiliations, key words, and a short abstract. Acknowledgements,
if any, should appear on the title page as a footnote.
Begin with an
introductory section that briefly summarizes the main results and explains the
paper's significance and contribution to finance. This introduction should be
accessible to the knowledgeable reader who perhaps does not thoroughly
understand the mathematics used in the paper. Indeed, without sacrificing
precision and rigor, authors using considerable mathematics must take a special
effort to facilitate the communication of their technical results. For
instance, proofs can be accompanied by remarks that help the reader develop
intuition about the underlying arguments, and examples can illuminate important
concepts.
Results should be
presented in a careful and mathematically rigorous fashion. A theorem-proof
format may be appropriate, in which case the proofs can immediately follow the
corresponding theorems or be placed in an appendix. All items, except main
headings, requiring numbers should be double-numbered by sections, each
presented as a separate paragraph (e.g. , Lemma 2.1.); the statements
themselves should be in italics. If it is necessary to number a displayed
equation, it should be double-numbered (by section) on the left. Mathematical
symbols should be in italics unless, of course, another typeface is necessary
(e.g. , boldface, roman). A short concluding section may be useful for
summarizing the technical results in a qualitative fashion.
