Welcome to the Subject Guide for Mathematics

Welcome to this Subject Guide, which brings together key resources and information for students and staff.

If you're brand new to York (or even if you aren't...) you may find our Information For New Students page useful. It will give you a To Do list to get you started; if you have any questions, let us know. In the meantime, go on a Virtual Tour of the Library.

Learning online

It can be tricky to get up to speed with studying online, when all your learning is taking place over the internet. We've put together a guide with information on working off campus, communicating online, being digitally organised and a lot more. It's really well worth a look:

Key databases

MathSciNet
- This link opens in a new window
MathSciNet provides online access to Mathematical Reviews and Current Mathematical Publications, the major abstracting services for mathematics. Mathematical Reviews (MR) covers data from 1940 to the present. Both bibliographic data and review texts are available from 1980-present. Bibliographic data is available from 1940-1979. Items listed in the annual indexes of MR but not given an individual review are also included. Current Mathematical Publications (CMP) is a subject index of bibliographic data for recent and forthcoming publications. Most items are later reviewed in MR. All items in MR appear first in CMP. CMP data is added daily, while MR data is added each month when the printed issue is complete. The MR record for an item with a review replaces the CMP recorded for that item.

For help with this resource, take a look at the MathSciNet help.
MathSciNet (EBSCO)

MathSciNet via EBSCO provides online access to Mathematical Reviews (MR), the major abstracting service for mathematics. MR covers data from 1940 to the present. Both bibliographic data and review texts are available from 1980-present. Bibliographic data is available from 1940-1979. Items listed in the annual indexes of MR but not given an individual review are also included. In addition to the data from MR, MathSciNet also includes bibliographic data from retro digitised articles dating back to the early 1800s.
