2024
Mathdoc takes part in the organization of the Mathrice – RNBM – Groupe Calcul Days which take place from 11 to 14 March 2024 in Grenoble. Renewing the joint meeting of the Mathrice and RNBM networks during the 2014 days organized in Grenoble, the 3 INSMI networks gather once more in Grenoble the same week with sessions specific to each network and common sessions.
Numdam now has two collections of theses:
- the Thèses d’Orsay (1971-2012), resulting from the cooperation between the Bibliothèque mathématique Jacques Hadamard (BJH) and Mathdoc initiated in 2015;
- the Thèses de l’entre-deux guerres, for which an introductory text written by Catherine Goldstein is presented.
Links to files digitized by Gallica are visible for the years 1836 to 1945 of the Journal de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées.
As far as natively digital acquisitions are concerned, the 2018 volumes for the publications of EDP Sciences, EMS Press and for the Publications Mathématiques de l’IHÉS are also now available.
Finally, the first 4 volumes of Confluentes Mathematici are added to Numdam, as well as the other mathematics journals of the Mersenne Center until 2022.
2023
