Mathematics: Books

Books can provide a good overview of a topic, as well as in-depth information. A book often includes a bibliography or list of additional resources (other books, articles, etc.).

Always note the date of a book. More current information may be available in periodical articles. To find books on your topic in the CSUF Library, use the Library Catalog. Search by author, title, subject, or keywords. Materials in this library are given Library of Congress Subject Headings (for examples see LCSH). Materials in this library are classified and shelved by call numbers according to the Library of Congress classification system.
