  3. American Mathematical Society • Founded in 1888 • Mission: • Promote mathematical research and its uses • Strengthen mathematical education • Foster awareness and appreciation of mathematics and its connections to other disciplines and to everyday life • Over 28,000 individual members and 550 institutional members • Professional programs such as: • Meetings and Conferences • Surveys • Employment services • Publications including Mathematical Reviews • Journals • Over 3,000 books in print • Support for Young Scholars Programs • And ….

  4. Mathematical Reviews Database • Since 1940 • Mathematical Reviews(MR) • Served researchers and scholars in the mathematical sciences • By providing timely information on articles and books that contain new contributions to mathematical research • Is now maintained electronically • Classified according to the 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification (MSC) • Over 65,000 reviews or abstracts are published each year

  5. What is MathSciNet? • Mathematical Reviews is available to: • Individuals • Institutions • That have paid the annual Database Fee (DAF) • The MR database is available: • Electronically on MathSciNet • MathSci on CD • In fact: MathSciNet = Full Electronically Version of MR-database with all Benefits and Components…

  10. Publication Search Advanced Search with All Publication components

  11. Search Example 1- For example: Select the review Text field 2- Enter a keyword (example: algorithm) 3- Click on Search button Select Publication Type Select Publish Time

  12. Results Page Number of Match Records Current Results Next Pages Download Format Numbers indicate a review is available Author(s) name Source and publish date

  13. A Result Components Major Identity of Article in MathSciNet (MR-database) Article No in MathSciNet Author(s) Name Article Title Publication Information (Type, Page, Year, Ver, …) Link to a PDF of review – not the article Journal Link Article Link

  14. Review of Article Highlighted Keywords

  15. PDF Link

  16. Clipboard • Useful to collect citations of interest together in one place, and then download them into whichever format you use for your research (ASCII, pdf, BibTeX, etc.) • Can collect up to 500 at any one time

  17. Review Styles in MathSciNet • There are 3 styles for reviews in MathSciNet: • Review is available • {A review for this item is in process.} • {There will be no review of this item.}

  18. Review Formats & Meta Link For users without a MathSciNet license , Relay Station allows linking from MR numbers in online mathematical literature directly to electronic journals and original articles. Subscribers receive the added value of full MathSciNet reviews.

  19. Many Thanks
