Foreword by the Editor-in-Chief

This is the first issue of the new,English only version of Communications on Applied Mathematics and Computation(CAMC).CAMC has a long history of publishing papers in applied and computational mathematics.It was founded in 1987 by the late Professor Benyu Guo,a prominent numerical analyst working on spectral methods and high-order finite difference methods at Shanghai University and Shanghai Normal University.In the transition to the English only version,a new editorial board has been formed,expanding in its international representation as well as coverage in more areas within applied and computational mathematics.The cooperation with Springer also ensures professional manuscript handling and distribution services.
