Availability of papers for term projects

  • When you find a paper that interests you, send me email referring to it by number (e.g., H7). I'll assign it to you, removing the "Available" indication.
  • A note on accessing journals over the internet at UMD:
  • When you are on the UMD domain, some journals (e.g., SIAM journals) can be accessed just by going to the journal's website.
  • Others (e.g., for-profit journals published by Springer, Elsevier, etc.) require that you go to the UMD Libraries, use the "Research Port" "Journals" collection, and connect to the journal from there. When you are off-campus, this is also how you can access journals like SIAM's.
  • And for really "old" things you might have to actually walk over to the Engineering and Physical Sciences Library, just like generations of scholars before you.
  • There are 9 or 10 extra papers, to give you more choices.
  • Hope you find a paper you like!
