MathSciNet – using the Mathematics Subject Classification (MSC) University of Southampton Libraries

The Basics Each article has one or more Mathematics Subject Classification (MSC) codes added by the indexers. These are useful to .. Making search results more relevant and specific Suggest alternative terms to search To see what major areas of research exist

Classification numbers are marked (83C57, etc.) By clicking on the terms you can see what they mean …

The Primary MSC is the main subject of the article Click on this icon to run a search on that term …

… Does a search on that code Often too broad to be helpful.

The MSC can also be accessed via ‘free tools’

Search for a key word or phrase …

MathSciNet will show you relevant term(s) Codes have changed over time – the code for black holes (82C57) was added in 1991 So if we use it we won’t find any pre 1991 articles about black holes

You can also use the code in your search 83C57 searches for black holes very well

We now have less results – but hopefully more relevant ones

For further help Contact Michael Whitton (Mathematics Academic Liaison Librarian) by email: mw2@soton.ac.uk by telephone: 023 8059 2709 or check the maths subject page www.soton.ac.uk/library/subjects/maths If you need further help with this topic please contact the Library.
