Mathematics: Research Help

Welcome to the Mathematics Research Guide!

This guide is to help you get a jumpstart on Mathematics Research by giving an overview of what Mathematics Resources are available in the library, along with some quick tips on how to find and use them.

Databases

Sherratt Library provides access to a number of databases on a wide range of subjects. Below is a list of databases with content related to [discipline]:

Other Online Resources

  • arXiv.org
    • Open e-print archive with over 100,000 articles in physics, 10,000 in mathematics, and 1,000 in computer science. 
  • O'Reilly Online Learning 
    • To access, enter your SUU issued email address, which will provide temporary access for 3 days, (if you don't clear your cookies or change browsers). If you choose to register you may have longer access, otherwise just sign up for temporary access again. Search, browse, read full text information technology and business 

Journals and Periodicals

Although many of the journals we have in Sherratt Library are available in electronic form, there are times when a print copy is the way to go.

Follow this link to see the top journals in Physics & Mathematics.  Click on Subcategories and pick a field like Discrete Mathematics to see a list of the top journals in that field.  Once you find a title you are interested in, please search that title by following the link Find a Journal on the library’s homepage.  This will indicate whether we have the journal in print or in databases, which databases, and the dates covered.

Books and Ebooks

Here at Sherratt Library, we use the Library of Congress classification system (call numbers) to organize most of our items, including print books and e-books. Below is a general list of call numbers that relate to Mathematics (they can help you find items faster).

  • QA1-43 - General Mathematics
  • QA273-280 - Probabilities, Mathematical Statistics
  • QA299.6-433 - Analysis
  • TA329-348 - Engineering Mathematics, Engineering Analysis

Both print books and ebooks can be found by searching the library catalog, here. You can go directly to an ebook databases to search for materials. Those resources are listed below.
