OneSearch and Mathematics Research

The library's OneSearch tool can be useful for researching topics in mathematics, because it locates both articles and books.

Specialized Mathematics Databases

MathSciNet
MathSciNet is a the web based version of Mathematical Reviews which provides timely reviews or summaries of articles and books that contain new contributions to mathematical research. Produced by the American Mathematical Society.

arXiv.org
Open access to e-prints in Mathematics (there are also sections dedicated to Physics, Computer Science, Quantitative Biology, Quantitative Finance and Statistics). This includes author submitted versions of articles that have appeared in subscription journals AND pre-prints of research articles that have not yet been published.

Saving and Citing Sources

Want a place to store all the resources you find that you can access anywhere you have an internet connection? Want to cite those sources in almost any format, including those used by specific mathematics journals? Try library's RefWorks tool.

RefWorks
RefWorks lets you collect your research sources in one place to format bibliographies or works cited pages.

Writing Assistance

Need some extra guidance on writing in math? The library has books on that topic, too.

The print books can be found in section QA9.54 (proofs) and QA42 (notation and writing). Some examples:
