Search Interfaces for Mathematicians
Access to mathematical knowledge has changed dramatically in recent years,
therefore changing mathematical search practices. Our aim with this study is to
scrutinize professional mathematicians' search behavior. With this
understanding we want to be able to reason why mathematicians use which tool
for what search problem in what phase of the search process. To gain these
insights we conducted 24 repertory grid interviews with mathematically inclined
people (ranging from senior professional mathematicians to non-mathematicians).
From the interview data we elicited patterns for the user group
"mathematicians" that can be applied when understanding design issues or
creating new designs for mathematical search interfaces.Comment: conference article "CICM'14: International Conference on Computer

A Survey on Retrieval of Mathematical Knowledge
We present a short survey of the literature on indexing and retrieval of
mathematical knowledge, with pointers to 72 papers and tentative taxonomies of
both retrieval problems and recurring techniques.Comment: CICM 2015, 20 page
