(Ref 004.03 B474) 4 vols. Amsterdam: Academic, 2003.
Computer Science and Engineering Handbook.
(Ref 004 T795c) Boca Raton, FL: CRC, 1997.
The following databases are useful for finding articles in the Computer Science and Mathematics fields.
Reviews and citations to the world's research literature in mathematics and related areas compiled from: Mathematical reviews, and Current mathematical publications, 1940-to the present.
Computing Reviews (CR) aims to provide access to current research, theory and applications in all subdisciplines of computing via the review medium. CR compiles expert, unbiased critical reviews of current articles, books and websites of note in computing. In addition to a ten year-plus archive of reviews and articles, Reviews.com also empowers individual readers with customized alerts, searches and browsing. The users of Reviews.com create communities through the interactive forums for discussing and exchanging knowledge worldwide.
