Introduction
Mathematics is the study of numbers, sets of points, various abstract elements, and most importantly, the relationships between them and the operations performed on them. Some consider mathematics a language, some a tool, some an art. Most consider mathematics a science. Mathematics periodicals and print indexes are located in the Mack Science Library.
