Some starting points in the historyb of mathematics

Below you can find a collection of websites that I used to visit frequently: databases, digital libraries, and mathematical encyclopediae.

---

Databases of mathematical papers written after 1940

• Mathematical Reviews (MathSciNet)

  [Database of mathematical papers with citations and abstract. Edited by the American Mathematical Society, founded by Otto Neugebauer in 1940. Universities have usually access to it.]

• Zentralblatt

  [The German analogue of Mathematical Reviews, edited by Springer, founded by Otto Neugebauer in 1931. Universities have usually access to it.]

• arXiv

  [Preprint database of Cornell University. Authors usually publish their manuscripts here, before official publication in a journal.]

Collection of papers from the 18–20th centuries
