Mathematics : Databases, Collections, and Reference
Purpose of the Guide
The mathematics subject guide is your guide to the mathematical information available to you at the University of Wisconsin Madison. It contains a list of the mathematical databases and digital book and journal collections to which we subscribe, as well as information about mathematical reference sources and interdisciplinary databases which contain publications related to mathematics. There are also guides on how to best use MathSciNet and the arXiv to find mathematical research; suggested books for subjects in mathematics; and some resources of mathematical fun.
Finding Mathematics Information
Mathematics Databases
- MathSciNetMathSciNet is the premier mathematics article database. It indexes abstracts more than 3100 mathematical journals and 7500 books, conference proceedings, theses, and technical reports. Click on the menu tab for more information on how to use MathSciNet.
- arXiv (Mathematics)arXiv is an e-print service owned and operated by Cornell University. It contains articles from physics, mathematics, computer science, statistics, and other quantitative subjects. Click on the menu tab for more information on how to use the arXiv.
- Project EuclidOnline platform for independent and society journals in theoretical and applied mathematics; Full text access is limited to UW-Madison subscribed titles.
- JahrbuchJahrbuch is a historical collection(1868-1942) of reviews of mathematics publications from "Jahrbuch über die Fortschritte der Mathematik". This database has been incorporated into zbMATH Open but can be browsed separately.
- NumdamNumDam is the French digital mathematics library. It provides full text of a wide variety of French mathematical research publications, with content from as far back as 1810 to as recent as the last couple of years.
Reference
- Wolfram MathWorldSearchable, open access compendium of mathematical definitions, formulas, figures, tabulations, and references.
- Mathematics Genealogy ProjectAcademic genealogy of mathematicians from around the world. Entries typically include the researcher's name, the university which awarded their degree and the year it was awarded, dissertation title, and advisor name.
Ebooks & Journal Collections
- AMS Journals & BooksEbooks and journals from the American Mathematical Society. Includes journals, monographs, memoirs, and proceedings.
- Contemporary MathematicsRefereed proceedings from experts at worldwide conferences and symposia sponsored by the American Mathematical Society and other organizations.
- SIAM E-BooksCollection of ebooks published by SIAM spaning a wide range of applied mathematics and computational science subject areas.
- Springer Nature LinkScientific documents from journals, books, series, protocols, reference works and proceedings published by Springer Nature.
- Wiley Online LibraryBrowse or search thousands of ebooks and millions of articles from the life, physical, health, and social sciences, as well as the humanities disciplines.
- ScienceDirectInformation platform of scientific, technical, and medical research content from journals, books, series, and reference works published by Elsevier.
Interdisciplinary Databases
These databases have broad interdisciplinary coverage, including good coverage of mathematics and related fields of research.
- Web of ScienceCollection of databases indexing scholarly literature in the sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities, from journals, conference proceedings, symposia, and more. Includes citation network data.
- ScopusLarge, multidisciplinary database that covers science, technology, medicine, social sciences, and arts and humanities. Includes tools to track, analyze, and visualize research.
- JSTORArchive of scholarly journals and ebooks in the humanities, social sciences, sciences and mathematics. Journal coverage is volume 1 of each title until 3-5 years ago (embargo period varies by title).
- IEEE XploreTechnical literature in electrical engineering, computer science, electronics, and related disciplines, from journals, proceedings, letters, standards, from 1988 with select content back to 1913.
- ScienceDirectInformation platform of scientific, technical, and medical research content from journals, books, series, and reference works published by Elsevier.
- Applied Science & Technology Full TextEnglish-language database providing access to scientific and technical publications in a wide variety of STEM disciplines including artificial intelligence, applied math, plastics, robotics, etc.).
