MathSciNet releases new version using MathJax

No Comments »

The American Mathematical Society released its latest version of MathSciNet on October 12. The new release includes the following enhancements and features:

  • MathJax: Displayed Mathematics

MathSciNet now offers improved display of mathematics using MathJax, an open source JavaScript display engine for mathematics that works in all modern browsers (http://www.mathjax.org).

For example, here is a MathJax display from an article within MathSciNet:

  • Mathematics, Applied Mathematics and Statistics Ph.D. theses from ProQuest
MathSciNet now includes thesis links in the bibliographic entries that link directly to Ph.D. theses in mathematics, applied mathematics, and statistics from the ProQuest Dissertations & Theses database.
  • Direct links to Series, Books and Book Chapters

Also included are direct links to books, book chapters, and series using DOIs registered by publishers. This supplements the Article links that currently number well over a million in MathSciNet. Where appropriate, the Journal link below the bibliographic data has been replaced by a Series link. The Article link has been replaced by a Book or Chapter link.
