Math Library News

Miscellaneous links for May, 2012

HYLE: International Journal for Philosophy of Chemistry, Vol. 18, No. 1, May 2012 is a special issue on "Chemistry and Mathematics", Part 1

Open Access Math & Statistics Textbooks, a growing list of open access textbooks maintained at Univ. of Minnesota Open Textbook Catalog. They are hoping to have faculty from Univ. of Minnesota (paid) and elsewhere (not paid) write reviews of these textbooks. Comments in Inside Higher Education.

Book review for In Pursuit of the Unknown: 17 Equations That Changed the World, by Ian Stewart: Math Rules by Steve Mirsky. Scientific American (May 2012), 306:92. Contact Ruth if you think we should buy this book for the library. It will certainly be available in MOBIUS sometime soon.

Also in the May 2012 issue of Scientific American: Goldbach's Prime Numbers by Davide Castelvecchi. A centuries-old conjecture is nearing its solution.

The American Mathematical Society has implemented Mobile Pairing for all of its electronic products - MathSciNet, eJournals and eBooks. More information at http://www.ams.org/publications/mobilepairing. Mobile Pairing allows authorized users to 'pair' their mobile devices - tablets, laptops, smartphones - with WU's subscriptions/electronic purchases. Once 'paired', the user will have access to AMS electronic products without having to be connected to the host institution's network. The pairing will last for 90 days.

Have you signed the White House petition to require free access over the Internet to scientific journal articles arising from taxpayer-funded research? If you haven't, please consider it and do it before June 19th. More information with a link to the petition is available at http://access2research.org/Petition. Timothy Gowers blogged about this last week: http://gowers.wordpress.com/2012/05/24/have-you-signed-the-open-access-petition/. Signing this petition will take a few minutes because you first need to create an account at whitehouse.gov. Thank you for considering this. NOTE: Goal of 25,000 signatures was reached on June 3rd!

Some math faculty publications now available in Open Scholarship

You may remember that "Open Scholarship" Repository [was] Launched in March. We are now beginning to work out procedures for getting faculty publications freely available there, when copyright transfer agreements allow and when faculty want their publications included.

Contact Ruth Lewis if you want your recent publications included in Open Scholarship. I will check your publishers' policies and do the submissions where I can and get back with you if there are questions or if I need a preprint or postprint (where use of publisher PDF's is not allowed).

Go to http://openscholarship.wustl.edu/math_facpubs and see what's there so far!

We are really just beginning to explore potential uses for this platform so I would love to hear your questions and ideas!

Spring 2012 math dissertations

Spring 2012 dissertations have been loaded into Open Scholarship. I suppose there may be a few more added but I think this is most of them.
Coordinates Arising from Affine Fibrations Andrew Lewis
Comparison Theorems in Elliptic Partial Differential Equations with Neumann Boundary Conditions Jeffrey Langford
Billiard Markov Operators and Second-Order Differential Operators Jasmine Ng
Quotients of Subgroup Lattices of Finite Abelian p-groups Marina Dombrovskaya
Composite Multi resolution Analysis Wavelets Benjamin Manning
Castelnuovo-Mumford Regularity of General Rational Curves on Hypersurfaces Sara Gharahbeigi

WUSTL's Open Scholarship is now the place for electronic theses and dissertations and some student papers and faculty publications.
