Welcome!

This is a Library Guide to help you with your paper in MAT 3010, aka History of Mathematics. 

• Know your assignment & what kind of resources you are required to use (e.g., books, articles, web sites, etc.)

• Explore your topic (write down key words as you find preliminary information).  Brainstorm.

• Try broader, narrower, variant spellings, or related terms:
  • math / mathematician / mathematics
  • geometry / algebra
  • quadratic / "number theory" / "mathematical notation"
  • statistics / "statistical methods"
  • Al-Khowarizmi / Al-Khwarizmi

Off-campus?  To access electronic resources when you are off-campus, go through the ASU Library's website or this class research guide.  Somewhere along the way in your search you will move into propriety space (where ASU has paid the bills) and a proxu login box will appear asking for your Banner ID and password.  You can locate your Banner ID number on AppalNet.  If you want to use Google Scholar, also go through the Library website or this link and click on Google Scholar tab.  If you go to Google Scholar elsewhere you will not have access to most full-text.

If you have any trouble with off-campus access, please call the Library Services Desk personnel at (828) 262-2818 or (828) 262-2819.
