Math Library

The Mathematics Library, located on the third floor of LeConte College, contains more than 18,000 volumes of books and periodicals pertaining to the subject of mathematics. It houses USC's collection of materials on pure mathematics and some works on applied mathematics. It also maintains reserve materials assigned for all mathematics courses taught at the Columbia campus.

Periodicals

Current issues of more than 200 mathematics journals are shelved in alphabetical order in the periodical display area to the right of the Circulation Desk. Bound back issues of these journals are shelved with the rest of the collection. Consult the library catalog or the Serial Record microfiche for their call numbers and holdings.

Reserves

All collateral reading material assigned for mathematics courses is kept on reserve in the Mathematics Library. Some materials assigned for computer science and statistics courses are also located on Mathematics Reserve. Patrons may obtain reserve materials from Library staff by requesting the item by course number or title. Most items on reserve DO NOT CIRCULATE, and the patron must present a current valid University I.D. card or driver's license before being allowed to use them.

Circulation Policy

Most books in the Mathematics Library may be checked out for a period of four weeks. Bound and unbound issues of journals and Reference materials are non-circulating and may not be taken from the Library.

Facilities
All items in the Mathematics Library are cataloged and may be located through the library online catalog or the card catalog. Catalog terminals are available in the Library and are located behind the Circulation desk.
