Finding Resources


As a Maths student, you will need to use a range of different sources and demonstrate your ability to find good results in order to impress your tutors and to develop your research skills.


Books

 

Books can be a great place to start your reading around a topic.

 

Mathematics books are located in the S section on the third floor of the JB Morrell Library. Many books will also be available online as e-books. Look for the links in YorSearch, under the View It section of each book.
