Transactions on Numerical Analysis (ETNA) is an electronic
journal for the publication of significant new and important
developments in numerical analysis and scientific computing. Papers
of the highest quality that deal with the analysis of algorithms for
the solution of continuous models and numerical linear algebra are
appropriate for ETNA, as are papers of similar quality that discuss
implementation and performance of such algorithms. New algorithms
for current or new computer architectures are appropriate provided
that they are numerically sound. However, the focus of the
publication should be on the algorithm rather than on the
architecture. The journal is published by the Kent State University
Library in conjunction with the Institute of Computational
Mathematics at Kent State University. Mathematical Reviews will
receive all papers accepted for publication in the journal and
review them as appropriate. ETNA is registered with the Library of
Congress and has ISSN 1068-9613. |

PROFESSOR SUGGESTIONS 1)What resource do you go to first (web or print) when conducting >> research? "For books and articles, I go to www.library.kent.edu, with links to journals and OhioLink; for reviews I go to ams.org with the link to Math Reviews (MathSciNet). " "KSU library, word search, google word search" "Journal articles and preprints of papers; also, coversations with visitors and friends. " "Science Citation Index Expanded (OhioLink, ISI, Web of Science)" 2) Are there any other research resources (web or print) that you would particularly recommend? "Preprint servers online, for new research announcements. " "For computational work, I recommend looking at the freeware packages out there (in number theory, GP/PARI is my recommendation- it is often many times faster than the commercial packages Maple or Mathematica for difficult number-theoretic calculations). " "...probably Studia Math, Israel Journal are the main culprits and others when they carry articles that are 'relevant'; and the journals in the library suffice for most all that I do. If I need something that's not there I can get copies through CISTI." "Seminar notes and lecture notes from past years." "Google, Google Scholar mathworld.wolfram.com scienceworld.wolfram.com" 3) What are YOUR particular research areas? Professor research areas can be viewed on the main math website under the "People" section.

The Libraries have partnered with GreenDisk to offer recycling
services for technotrash. Technotrash cans are available in the
Information Commons and the Computer Lab, both on the first floor of
the Main Library. Staff may also use the can in the Technical
Services dept on the third floor. If you are interested, drop off
any of the following for recycling and environmentally-friendly
disposal:
