Summary subject collecting information (definitions of the ALG collecting levels are available for reference):

Mathematics [Minimal]

    Comments: The Library's collections in this subject area are dated, with monographs published between the 1970s and the early 1980s forming the basis of the collection, together with a small number of serial titles. There is some strength in the foundations of mathematics where the collection supplements earlier works on logic or general philosophy, but the collection does not extend beyond the minimal level.

- Mathematics (general) [Basic]

- Mathematical and symbolic logic [Minimal]

- Graphical and combinatorial analysis [Minimal]

- Algebra and number theory [Minimal]

- Arithmetic [Minimal]

- Topology [Minimal]

- Analysis and calculus [Minimal]

- Geometry [Minimal]

- Probabilities and game theory [Minimal]

- Statistical mathematics [Minimal]

Highlights of the collection: The National Library of Australia holds a comprehensive collection of material relating to Australia and the Australian people. The Library's collections of Australiana have developed into the nation's single most important resource of materials recording Australian cultural heritage. The Library collects Australian materials of all kinds - not just works in print form - books, serials, maps, music and ephemera - but also online publications and unpublished material such as manuscripts, pictures and oral histories. The Library also has considerable collections of general overseas and rare book materials, as well as world-class Asian and Pacific collections which augment the Australiana collections.
