Mathematics

The Mathematical Sciences Library holds the primary collection of materials in mathematics, including books and journals related to statistics and computer science. For mathematical science books, journals and other resources in other Rutgers University Libraries, use IRIS, our online catalog, to locate these resources. Use the Indexes for Math to find articles from selected journals and books. This page will lead to selected resources and research guides available on the Internet.

Indexes and Abstracts

Most of the titles listed here are found at the Mathematical Sciences Library, the Library of Science and Medicine, or the Libraries home page (www.libraries.rutgers.edu) under Indexes and Databases.

The most important tool for searching mathematics literature is MathSciNet (1940-present), available on Libraries home page. It includes the print copies of Mathematical Reviews and Current Mathematical Publications.  For literature published between 1930 and 1940, consult Zentralblatt für Mathematik und ihre Grenzgebiete.

  • Zentralblatt für Mathematik und ihre Grenzgebiete (1931-1994) -- available through Zentralblatt Math.  Rutgers University does not subscribe to the web version of Zentralblatt Math.  Users can get up to 3 citations free for each search query.   Volumes published between 1931 and 1978 are available at EMANI web site. 
  • Mathematical Reviews (1940 – 1999) -- available through MathSciNet.
  • Current Mathematical Publications -- available through MathSciNet.

DigitalBooks

More books in the field of mathematics are now available on the web.  To look for an electronic book, one may try the following web sites.

  • Google Books (http://books.google.com)
    Google has digitized many books from library collections. You can search for books by subject, phrase, author, title, and other criteria. If you limit your search to "full-view," the results will all be books that you can read in their entirety.  "Limited-access titles", however, also allows you to take a glimpse of the book, even though some pages of the book are blocked.

Online Journals 

Before you spend time surfing the following web sites, please note that many journals can be accessed through IRIS, Rutgers Libraries Catalog.  If the journal title is not found in IRIS, then check the "A-Z list" under "electronic journal lists". (http://www.libraries.rutgers.edu/rul/rr_gateway/ejournals/ejournals.shtml)

  • Directory of Open Access Journals (http://www.doaj.org)
    This service covers free, full text, quality controlled scientific and scholarly journals. The service provider aims to cover all subjects and languages. As of May 2008, there are now 3340 journals in the directory. Currentl 1133 journals are searchable at article level.  The site is maintained by Lund University Libraries.
  • EMANI (http://www.emani.org)
    The aim of the Electronic Mathematics Archives Network Initiative (EMANI) is to provide long term preservation and access to mathematics literature. Its major partners include the scientific publisher, Springer-Verlag, and most importantly four major academic libraries: Cornell University Library (Ithaca, New York), the State and University Library Göttingen (Germany), Tsinghua University Library (Beijing), and Orsay Mathematical Library (Paris).
  • Digi Zeitschriften (http://www.digizeitschriften.de)
    This is a German Digital Journal Archive which covers mathematics and many other disciplines.  Many titles require institutional subscription.  The math titles, however, are mostly open access titles.
  • NUMDAM (http://www.numdam.org/en/) Digitization of Ancient Mathematics Documents
    This is a digitization project supported by CNRS and the Direction de la Recherche.  It contains archives of mathematical journals published in France.
