Mathematics / Applied Mathematics
American Mathematical Society (AMS)
The site highlights a broad range of services as well as books, journals, and two
large databases of mathematical information: Reviews Mathematical, and MathSciNet.
Of special interest under the "Math on the Web" icon is the preprint services. The
site has a really great layout and is easy to use.
arXiv e-Print Archive
A searchable database of research papers & preprints in physics and mathematics.
While primarily devoted to research in physics, they offer a number of papers in
mathematics as well. Hosted by the Los Alamos National Laboratory.
Electronic Transactions on Numerical Analysis (ETNA)
This site is actually a full-text electronic journal for "significant new and important
developments in numerical analysis and scientific computing." It is published twice
a year by the Kent State University Library in conjunction with the Institute of
Computational Mathematics at Kent State University. The site makes it easy to browse
the issues by year and provides keyword search capabilities.
European Mathematical Information Service
This site contains a number of excellent resources in all areas of mathematics.
Of special note are the five free databases, including Zentralblatt MATH, and a
large collection of free full-text resources.
International Mathematical Union
There are a number of outstanding resources in this site of international origin,
including a fair amount written in English. From the homepage click on "Math-Net",
"Links" and then "Mathematical Publications" in order to find collections of electronic
journals and pre-prints. There is not a great deal of full-text articles; however,
the potential for finding what is needed in abstract form is very high. Between
the journals and preprints one could do a great deal of initial research. Also,
from the homepage click on "Math-Net" and "General Mathematics," which links to
universities and other sources on the web for mathematical information. The same
information is indexed under the IMU Mirror listed on the homepage. The best place
to start in this site is the "Math-Net" icon. There are also collections of codes
for solving mathematical programming problems. The site is very well done and is
worth investigating.
Journal of Integer Sequences
This is an on-line journal devoted to the study of integer sequences.
Mathematica
A digital collection of historical works in mathematics, from the Gottingen State
and University Digital Library.
Mathematical Association of America (MAA)
The site is authored by an organization focused on the teaching of collegiate mathematics.
The site features two search engines: one on the homepage and another located at
the bottom of the journals page. The journals icon links to four journals and provides
a link to the later of two search engines. That engine searches articles published
in "Mathematics Magazine" and the "College Mathematics Journal." The site also features
research, membership, and book reviews. As of now there is no full-text available
on this site.
Mathematics Preprint Search System
This search tools allows the researcher to search several mathematics pre-print
& e-print servers from a single interface. Searchable databases include Index national
des prepublications et theses en mathematiques en France, JABaPub (Preprints from
Austria and Bavaria), SINM-MPRESS (Preprints from Italy), MathN / D-MathNet.preprints,
Topology Atlas (Preprints related to topology), xxx.lanl.gov e-Print archive (Mathematics
part of the mirror at Augsburg), Algebraic Number Theory Archives, K-theory Preprint
Archives, & Preprints of the St. Petersburg Mathematical Society.
Mathematics WWW Virtual Library
The specialized field section lists a wide variety of subject disciplines within
mathematics. The electronic journal and preprint listings are extensive and include
some full text. There are also full text math books and bibliographies. The site is maintained
by the Florida State University Department of Mathematics.
MathSciNet
Originating from the American Mathematical Society, MathSciNet provides web access
to articles from "Mathematical Reviews" and "Current Mathematical Publications."
1700 journals are reviewed by this source, and the search engine has an incredibly
large number of documents at its disposal. Reviews include books, proceedings, and
journals.
Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM)
SIAM is the premier organization for industrial and applied mathematics with 12
journals to its credit. The site features information about research-related activity
groups, journals, books, conferences, and news. The site has a good layout and search
engine is adequate; however, the fonts throughout the site are too small.
