Physics, Astronomy and Mathematics
We are creating some new subject guides. The Mathematics subject guide may be found in our new resourse, OBU Library Guides .
Need an encyclopedia on physics? Looking for data on stellar bodies? Need information on weights and measures, formulas and/or experiments? Looking for information on a particular mathematical equation? These and other questions can be answered with the aid of the resources listed below.If you have additional questions, ask the librarians.They are ready to assist you in finding the information you need.
