= Additional research tips: =
 * When searching databases and catalogs, find variations of the word "// math //" by using the truncation symbol * (asterisk). A search using the term // math* // will find occurrences of math, mathematics, mathematical, etc.
 * If an article is available only in print in the library, we will scan it and email it to you. Complete the Document Delivery Request Form to take advantage of this service (available only to graduate students).
