Mathematics Library Collection: The University of Chicago Library mathematics collection is located primarily in Eckhart Library (Eckhart Hall 217). The collection focuses on research level materials in all areas of pure mathematics and in selected areas of applied mathematics. It contains an extensive collection of journals and a comprehensive collection of research monographs. Because of space considerations, selected materials, including some inactive journals and elementary books, have been transferred to The John Crerar Library. |
