Mathematics & Statistics: Library Resources

Free Online Books & Conference Proceedings

AMS Books Online

The American Mathematical Society presents a growing colleciton of freely available, online mathematics books.

AMS Digital Mathematics Registry

Hosted by the American Mathematical Society, the aim of AMS Digital Mathematics Registry "is to provide centralized access to collections of digitized publications in the mathematical sciences" and related areas like computer science. This includes both journals and journal-like book series. The resource list can be sorted by title or source (publisher). For every title listed, there's an indication whether it is freely accessible, a subscription is needed, or it is a combination of both.

Concepts and Applications of Inferential Statistics

This online statistics textbook contains 17 chapters of basic and advanced topics.

Cornell University Library Historical Mathematics Monographs

This collection contains the full text of over 500 mathematics books with expired copyrights. The collection may be searched or browsed. The full text of the Cornell collection as well as the full text from the University of Michigan and Göttingen collections may be searched using two search interfaces: Cornell's Distributed Digital Library of Mathematical Monographs Collection and the Multi-Repository Mathematics Collections from the University of Michigan.

DML: Digital Mathematics Library: Retrodigitized Mathematics Journals and Monographs

Based on a section in "The Digital Mathematics Library" by Allyn Jackson, appearing the Notices of the AMS 50 (8) 2003, this site lists retrodigitzed journals and books. The list may be sorted by author, title, repository, or journal.

Wikibooks: Mathematics Bookshelf

Wikibooks is a collection of open content textbooks. Open content means that these textbooks are freely available online. A textbook is defined by Wikibooks as "a manual of instruction or a standard book in any branch of study. They are produced according to the demand of educational institutions." The Mathematics Bookshelf includes basic math textbooks as well as books on foundations, analysis, linear algebra, advanced algebra, geometry and topology, differential equations, applied mathematics, and others.
