Mathematics Resource Guide: Print Reference Sources

"This new edition incorporates important topics that are unfamiliar to some readers, such as visual proofs and sequences, and illustrates how mathematical information is interpreted. Material is presented in a multisectional format, with each section containing a valuable collection of fundamental tabular and expository reference material. New to the 32nd Edition: A chapter on Mathematical Formulae from the Sciences that contains the most important formulae from a variety of fields, including acoustics, astrophysics, epidemiology, finance, statistical mechanics, and thermodynamics."

"Keeping the format that made its predecessors so popular, this edition has been extensively expanded, revised, and updated. It now contains nearly 12,000 entries. Each article provides definitions, formulas, illustrations, web links, bibliographic information, and facts from mathematics, the sciences, and engineering."

This 2 volume set is an MIT Press translation of the major Japanese reference work Iwanami Sugaku Ziten from the Mathematical Society of Japan covering all fields of mathematics. Provides good, concise explanations as well as extensive articles on topics.

Also available as an Online Reference Book through the Online Library Catalog.

This is one of the more recently updated basic reference titles providing access to formulas, equations, tables, etc., for research in applied mathematics, engineering, and physics. Compiled by Alan Jeffrey and based on other major sources such as Gradshteyn and Ryzhik's Table of Integrals, Series, and Products.

This Greenwood Press biographical dictionary, edited by Charlene Morrow, Mt. Holyoke College, and Teri Perl, co-founder of the Learning Co., profiles 59 prominent and lesser known women in the field from ancient through modern times, with a focus on 20th century academic women.

"Edited by Gowers, a recipient of the Fields Medal (the most esteemed prize in mathematics), this volume contains almost 200 entries, commissioned especially for this book from the world's leading mathematicians. It introduces basic mathematical tools and vocabulary, traces the development of modern mathematics, defines essential terms and concepts, and puts them in context. Moreover, the volume explains core ideas in major areas of mathematics, describes the achievements of scores of famous mathematicians, and discusses the impact of mathematics on other disciplines such as biology, finance, and music." - Library Journal 2010
