About

A K Peters, Ltd. is a leading independent scientific technical publisher based in Wellesley, Massachusetts, specializing in Computer Science and Mathematics. It was founded in 1992 by Alice Peters and Klaus Peters, who, as editors of programs at Springer-Verlag, Birkhäuser Boston, and Academic Press, had already by then earned distinguished reputations in scientific and technical publishing.

The Company’s program ranges from textbooks through advanced professional publications, also including a range of specialist trade titles, as well as scholarly monographs. A K Peters also publishes three journals, including the Journal of Graphics Tools, Experimental Mathematics, and Internet Mathematics.

Across these formats, the program is tightly focused on quality and relevance in its chosen disciplines. An important guiding principle behind the company is its philosophy of working in service to the scientific community.
