Information Resources in Mathematics

Math/Physics/Astronomy Library website - highlights key resources for math, physics, and astronomy research.

Franklin - the Penn Libraries' online catalog of books, journals, and other resources at www.franklin.library.upenn.edu. Try a Subject Heading search for Differential Equations.

FindIt! - search Penn electronic resources, Franklin, Library FAQs, staff directory, and more. To retrieve individual journal articles, use the PennText Article Finder instead.

Additional online mathematics resources - go to MPA Library's Web page at www.library.upenn.edu/scitech/mpa under "Mathematics E-Resources," click the "Other Mathematics E-Resources" link.

MathSciNet - comprehensive database covering the world's mathematical literature including journal articles, conference papers, books and book chapters. Access over 70 years of Mathematical Reviews and bibliographic data back to the 1800s.

Zentralblatt MATH - the world's most complete and longest running abstracting and reviewing service in pure and applied mathematics.

Web of Science - covers journal articles in all areas of the sciences from 1945 to the present. The key feature of this database is that it allows you to carry out citation searching.

JSTOR - is an online archive that provides full-text access starting with volume 1 to approximately the year 2009 of major math journals. Titles covered include "Annals of Mathematics," "American Journal of Mathematics," and "Transactions of the American Mathematical Society." Current contents of "American Mathematical Monthly," "Mathematics Magazine," and "College Mathematics Journal" are included.
