Find Sources

Also known as "Scholarly Articles," "Peer-Reviewed Articles," or "Academic Articles," these are:
  • Written and reviewed by scholars and provide new research, analysis, or information about a specific topic.
  • Usually focused on a narrow subject or a single case study
  • Intended for an academic audience

 

The following databases are a good place to find information on the field of accounting and finance.

Select Mathematical Journals

 Unlike journal articles, scholarly books:
  •  Are written on a broader, general subject
  •   May contain a collection of related chapters by different authors
  •   Contain less recent information
Remember: you may only need to read one chapter of a scholarly book!

Select Mathematics Websites

American Institute of Mathematics – “To advance mathematical knowledge through collaboration, to broaden participation in the mathematical endeavor, and to increase the awareness of the contributions of the mathematical sciences to society.”

American Mathematical Society – “A professional society since 1888, we advance research and connect the diverse global mathematical community through publications, meetings and conferences.”

 Association for Women in Mathematics – Founded in 1971, this organization promotes, encourages, and supports the inclusion of women in the field of mathematics. Contrasting with previous decades like in the 60’s through the 80’s, the AWM attempts to influence mathematics culture so that younger women may find it more supportive to enter the discipline.

Mathematical Association of America – “The Mathematical Association of America is the world’s largest community of mathematicians, students, and enthusiasts. We further the understanding of our world through mathematics because mathematics drives society and shapes our lives.” Also includes information about competitions.

MIT Open Courseware – A site sponsored by M.I.T. for mathematics courseware, open and freely available.
