Mathematical Reviews
The Mathematical Reviews (abbreviations: Math. Rev. , MR ) are a unit of presentations in the field of mathematics .
The Mathematical Reviews were founded in 1940 by Otto Neugebauer , who had previously founded the Zentralblatt MATH but had emigrated after 1933. They have been published by the American Mathematical Society since their inception .
In the Mathematical Reviews, primarily original mathematical papers, but also books, conference reports, etc. from mathematics and related areas such as computer science and theoretical physics are presented in many languages. The aim of the presentations is to give the reader an overview of the current mathematical literature without having to read all the journals himself. The presentations are prepared by independent scientists, occasionally only the abstract of an original work is printed or a title is given without a presentation. The presentations are published in English.
According to its own information, the Mathematical Reviews database has 2.1 million entries, of which 1.7 million were reported. A total of around 450,000 authors are represented and over 300 new entries are processed every day. The Mathematics Subject Classification is used to classify the work .
The Mathematical Reviews were originally only available in paper form, but were digitized between 1980 and 1999 and are now available via paid access on the Internet ( MathSciNet ).
Other mathematical departmental organs are the Zentralblatt MATH and in the Russian-speaking area the Referatiwny schurnal matematika ( РЖмат ).
