Bessel functions...queuing theory...regression models...Markov chains...wavelets...Kalman filters...Fermat's last theorem (has it really, finally been proved?).

If the above isn't Greek to you, then you'll be interested to learn that you can now access Mathematical Reviews (and its companion index Current Mathematical Publications) online through MathSciNet, a fully searchable World Wide Web database which catalogs and reviews research literature in mathematics and its applications in a wide range of disciplines including statistics, computer science, engineering, operations research, physics, and biology.

Produced by the American Mathematical Society, MathSciNet provides citations to journal articles, books, and conference papers for the years 1940 to the present. Reviews are available from 1980 on. The database can be searched by author, title, journal name, series name, mathematics subject classification number, reviewer, publication year, and keyword, or any combination thereof. World Wide Web access to the database is free of charge to all members of the University at Buffalo community with a UB computer account and is made possible through an electronic subscription by the Science and Engineering Library.

You can link to MathSciNet via the Science and Engineering Library's Home Page at http://wings.buffalo .edu/libraries/units/sel/ or directly through the MathSciNet Home Page at http://www.ams.org/mathscinet/< /i>. For more information about searching MathSciNet, contact Maiken Naylor in the Science and Engineering Library (645-2946 x223, sfcmaikn@ubvm.cc.buffalo.edu).
