Mathematics: Books: LCSH

Library Catalog subjects are Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH). The Library Catalog may direct you from an incorrect to a correct LCSH, e.g., "Statistical Inference" see "Mathematical Statistics". The Library Catalog may also link you to related LCSH that you may wish to consult. 

Some valid LCSH for Mathematics include:

bulletChildren's literature in mathematics education
bulletLie algebras
bulletRandom walks (Mathematics)
bulletUniversal enveloping algebras

For a complete list of LCSH, click here or consult the most recent Library of Congress Subject Headings books.

Keywords can also be used in the Library Catalog to find relevant materials. For example,  "Teaching Mathematics" is not a valid LCSH, but you can find relevant titles using those keywords and then search valid LCSH such as "Mathematics -- Study and Teaching" or "Arithmetic -- Study and Teaching".
