The Physics-Astronomy-Mathematics (PAM) Division of the Special Libraries Association maintains an electronic discussion group (formerly known as a listserv) which is referred to as "PAMnet".
MAA Reviews is edited by Fernando Q. Gouvêa, who relies on an immense batallion of faithful reviewers and on the help of the MAA's Basic Library List Committee. And, of course, on you: please visit our page describing the ways you can help MAA Reviews.
Fernando is Carter Professor of Mathematics at Colby College. His main scholarly interests are in number theory and the history of mathematics. He is the author (or co-author) of four (or five, depending on how you count) books, and he was co-editor of a fifth (or sixth). He is also the editor of FOCUS, the news magazine of the MAA.
BASIC LIBRARY LIST
OUR GOALS:
The Basic Library List contains a list of books in the mathematical sciences recommended for college, high school, and public libraries. It is designed to provide students with introductory sources that might not be part of their curriculum; to provide reading material that is collateral to regular courses; to provide faculty with reference material that is relevant to their teaching; and to provide appropriate references for students in disciplines that use the mathematical sciences.
Originally issued in print form in 1965, 1976, and 1992, the Basic Library List is now being revised and updated by the Committee on the Undergraduate Program in Mathematics (CUPM). The version currently on-line is the 1992 edition, supplemented by full text search capabilities. Updates will be made regularly in the future.
This table contains DML bibliographic items from various repositories. # # Coding is as follows: # ASCII based (ISO Latin 8859-1 extended) # Every line starting with a '#' is a comment # # the list of items from any repository is preceded by lines like the following: # # nick: <repository nickname, usually short or acronym> # name: <repository name> # addr: <repository web address> # comm: <any comment concerning the actual repository # # After that, the bibliographic items of that repository are described by: # # item_title: <name or title of item> # item_years: <year(s) published or covered> # item_url: <web address of content page> # item_type: <journal|multivol|book> # (possibly other colon separated pairs, first component should begin with "item_") # item_end: <optionally some comment like a counting number...> # This last line ends any item entry. # # Some items do contain commented metadata for later use. # # comment lines like #--------------------------- or similar # could separate entries from different repositories
The Math Editor List - Finding Synergies in the Development and Use of Semantic Editors for Mathematical Content.
About project-math-editors
English (USA)
This mailing list is going to be used to do understand the state of the
art of semantic mathematical editors (supporting OpenMath or Content
MathML). It addresses developers to identify basic requirements, current
features and major challenges during the implementation of their
editors. Possible topics are the extensibility of editors and finding
synergies. Moreover, users are encourage to post their requirements and
request for support. The list can also be used for announcements, e.g.
of latest releases, integration of editors in other systems, or
interesting events (conferences, workshops, doctoral seminars).
The Combined Membership List (CML) includes the names and addresses of all persons who were members of the American Mathematical Society (AMS), Mathematical Association of America (MAA), Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM), American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC), the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM), the Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS) - Société mathématique du Canada (SMC), or the Mathematical Programming Society (MPS) as of the last update.
