Searching the Mathematics & Statistics Library Technical Reports Collection
All technical reports held by the Mathematics & Statistics Library can be found in SearchWorks, by searching for the title of the report.

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.
