This book is a reference for librarians, mathematicians, and statisticians involved in college and research level mathematics and statistics in the 21st century. We are in a time of transition in scholarly communications in mathematics, practices which have changed little for a hundred years are giving way to new modes of accessing information. Where journals, books, indexes and catalogs were once the physical representation of a good mathematics library, shelves have given way to computers, and users are often accessing information from remote places. Part I is a historical survey of the past 15 years tracking this huge transition in scholarly communications in mathematics. Part II of the book is the bibliography of resources recommended to support the disciplines of mathematics and statistics. These are grouped by type of material. Publication dates range from the 1800's onwards. Hundreds of electronic resources-some online, both dynamic and static, some in fixed media, are listed among the paper resources. Amazingly a majority of listed electronic resources are free.

Significant developments have taken place during the last thirty years in the field of nonparametric statistics and related topics. These developments and future directions are discussed in this book. Some of the developments focussed on include: robust statistics; rank estimation; bootstrap techniques; regression quantiles; strong approximation of quantile processes; and a preliminary test approach to estimation (combining robust statistics and shrinkage estimation).This volume is dedicated to the memory of Professor Wassily Hoeffding, a pioneer in the field of nonparametric statistics.
