Gateways
Math Forum
The internet mathematics library from Drexel. This is a great place to find more website and search by subject.
einet Mathematics Portal
This portal takes you to many different types of mathematics sites. It is easy to search for specific subjects, topics, and type of resource.
- Catalogue
of Mathematics Internet Resources
- From BUBL LINK / 5:15, this web site is a catalogue of
selected Internet resources covering all academic subject
areas. All items are selected, evaluated, cataloged and
described. The index to resources in each subject area
are in alphabetical order. Listings under each subject
heading include the title (linked to the site), a description
and the author or sponsor of the site.
- MathGuide
- “The MathGuide is an Internet-based subject gateway
to scholarly relevant information in mathematics, located
at the Lower Saxony State and University Library, Göttingen
(Germany). Resources are described and evaluated with a
set of Dublin Core metadata.” Resources can be browsed
by subject or source type. The search engine has both simple
and advanced options.
- Mathematics
WWW Virtual Library
- This virtual library of mathematics-related resources
is maintained by the Department of Mathematics at Florida
State University. It provides access to bibliographies,
general resources, online books, resources on science and
math, and much more.
Reference Sources
- Dictionary of Algorithms
and Data Structures
- This is a dictionary of algorithms, algorithmic techniques,
data structures, archetypical problems and related definitions.
Entries are listed by area (e.g., combinatorics, cryptography
and compression, graphs, etc.) and by type (e.g., classic
problems, algorithms, data structures, etc.), and some
have links to implementation and further information. The
site was created by Paul Black of the National Institute
of Standards and Technology, and is hosted by NIST.
- Math2.org (Formerly “Dave’s
Math Tables”)
- This site provides a collection of tables in general
mathematics, algebra, geometry, trigonometry and statistics.
- MathWorld
- This electronic encyclopedia of mathematics contains
interactive elements such as animated graphics and hyperlinked
terms which link to definitions. It contains references
at the end of each description, many of which link to related
web sites or to Amazon.com records for cited books. This
site is hosted and sponsored by Wolfram Research, Inc.,
the creators of Mathematica.
- Martindale’s
Reference Desk: Calculators On-Line Center: Mathematics
- This site contains a collection of math calculators ranging
from the very simple to complex. It is hosted by the University
of California, Irvine Science Library.
- Mathematical
Atlas: A Gateway to Modern Mathematics
- “This is a collection of short articles designed
to provide an introduction to the areas of modern mathematics
and pointers to further information, as well as answers
to some common (or not!) questions. The material is arranged
in a hierarchy of disciplines, each with its own index
page.” The site was created by Dave Rusin, associate
professor of mathematics at Northern Illinois University.
Navigation options include browsing from a list of subject
headings, searching by keyword, clicking within the “MathMap” or
taking a tour of the subfields of mathematics.
- The
On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences
- This searchable database contains more than 83,000 number
sequences. Typical entries include an ID number, the beginning
sequence, sequence name or description, relevant literature,
references, formulas or generating functions, and programming
in Maple and Mathematica.
- The Wolfram
Functions Site
- This resource is a compilation of elementary and special
functions that are significant in mathematics, natural
sciences and engineering.
Preprint and e-Print Servers
- Directory
of Mathematics Preprint and e-Print Servers
- Maintained by the American Mathematical Society, this
directory provides access to e-print and preprint servers
worldwide.
- ArXiv.org e-Print Archive
- ArXiv is an e-print service in the fields of physics,
mathematics, non-linear science and computer science. ArXiv
is owned, operated and funded by Cornell University. ArXiv
is also partially funded by the National Science Foundation.
Biographical Sources
- Indexes
of Biographies
- This site indexes more than 1500 biographies of mathematicians
from ancient times to the present. The biographies, which
are one to two pages in length, were written by two professors
in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University
of St. Andrews. Entries contain references, links to other
information and sometimes photographs of subjects.
- Women
Mathematicians
- This site, created and maintained by students of mathematics
at Agnes Scott College, contains more that 100 biographies
of famous women mathematicians. Entries are listed alphabetically
or chronologically and include references to further information
and a portrait of the subject.
