The Mathematics and Statistics technical report collection is housed at SAL3. The collection includes computer science, mathematics, statistics, and operations research technical reports from various sources around the world from the mid-1950's to the present. The bulk of the collection is composed of computer science-related reports issued by U.S. institutions from the 1970's and 1980's. Many were later published in magazines and refereed journals. Of the approximately 56,000 technical reports in the collection, many are freely available online through institutional websites. If you need assistance determining whether a particular technical report is available online, check the list of "Sources of TRs and online papers beyond Stanford" below and/or contact us. All Mathematics and Statistics technical reports held by Stanford University Libraries can be found in SearchWorks, the online catalog for the Stanford University Libraries, by searching for the title of the report. To request a circulating print report held by Stanford, click the "Request" link in the item's SearchWorks record.
