The Bancroft collection of books on the history of mathematics is particularly strong. The collection includes works from the 15th century such as Euclid’s Elementa Geometriae from 1482 and 18th and 19th century textbooks from the United States, Mexico, and Europe. The Bancroft Library continues to acquire new materials on the history of mathematics.
