The Academy published Mathematics and related research articles initially in the Proceedings of INSA, but considering the large increase in the influx of mathematical articles, the need for bringing out a separate journal in this field was felt, as a result of which the Indian Journal of Pure & Applied Mathematics (IJPAM) came into being in January 1970. The journal was quarterly in the beginning but had to be later changed over to a bimonthly one. As the publishing of the journal could not be kept abreast with the tremendous growth in the number of articles, its periodicity had to be revised further by changing it to a monthly publication from 1973. IJPAM publishes papers of original research in the areas of Pure and Applied Mathematics, Statistics and related mathematical sciences such as Operation Research, Game Theory, Mathematical Economics, Computer Science, Stochastic Modelling, Numerical Analysis, Pattern Recognition, Mathematical Systems. The Editor might also invite papers on special topics, which are of current interest. However, all papers are refereed whether invited or contributed. The authors are encouraged to contribute and prepare their manuscript as per INSA guidelines. The size of the journal has been changed to Demi Quarto A4 International since January 1998.
