Mathematics. Often defined as the study of quantity, magnitude, and relations of numbers or symbols. It embraces the subjects of arithmetic, geometry, algebra, calculus, probability, statistics, and many other special areas of research. (Encyclopedia Britannica)

 

CU = Resources marked with this symbol are available in campus libraries and to students, staff, and faculty via the campus network. Use of these resources is subject to terms of use for electronic resources. Off-campus access information.

 

Abstracts and Indexes to Academic or Scholarly Articles (Although many databases contain links to full-text articles, when you find article citations in the index databases, you need to search Chinook to see if University Libraries own that periodical title.)

 

CU Current Index to Statistics
A bibliographic index to publications in statistics and related fields. References are drawn from 111 core journals that are fully indexed, non-core journals from which articles are selected that have statistical content, proceedings and edited books, and other sources. Coverage: 1975 - present.

CU MathSciNet
Contains bibliographic citations and signed reviews of mathematical research literature. Electronic version of Current Mathematical Publications and Mathematical Reviews. The database contains full-text links when available. Coverage: 1940 - present.

 

Scitopia

This federated vertical search portal was created through the collaboration of 15 leading science and technology societies. It searches the entire electronic libraries of these societies, including more than three million documents, peer-reviewed journal content and technical conference papers, spanning 150 years of science and technology can be searched through the site. Though the search is freely available, access to many documents requries authentication. Coverage varies.

CU SIAM Journals Online
The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) publishes nine peer-reviewed journals in applied mathematics. Browse or search by keyword. The database contains full-text links and citations to Math Reviews when available. Older backfiles of SIAM journals are available from its LOCUS database. Coverage: Abstracts 1995 - present. Full-text dates of coverage varies.

CU Zentralblatt Math
Indexes and abstracts topics in pure mathematics (e.g. algebra, logic, topology, geometry, analysis) , probability theory, statistics, mathematical physics, classical, solid and fluid mechanics, numerical mathematics, mathematical programming, theoretical computer science and automata theory, systems theory, control, operations research, economics, information and communication, circuits, coding, cryptography, applications in biology, chemistry, sociology, psychology. The database contains full-text links when available. Coverage: 1931 - present.
