The Mathematical World on the Web

The web is full of math-related sites of all kinds. This page just points you to a few of them, including several which have large collections of mathematical links.

Our Favorites

• MAA Online, the online newsletter of the Mathematical Association of America, edited by our own Fernando Gouvêa (so yes, we're biased). This site has a very good students page with lots of career and job information, among other things. We particularly like their career profiles, which show all the nice things people do with their math degrees. Nice book reviews and columns too!
• The Mathematics Digital Library is a new project focused on bringing mathematical resources to the web. It includes the Journal of Online Mathematics, a guide to math-related applets and other resources, and a library of commercial products of all kinds.
• The Mathematica folks have created a page where you can go to get your integrals done for you! Can you stump the Mathematica Integrator?
• KABOL (Knot a Braid of Links), at the Canadian Mathematical Society's web site, chooses a cool math site each week. There's always something worth looking at, and their list of past choices is a wonderful source of good mathematics on the web.
• Mathematicians appear as characters in many movies. As might be expected, the portraits aren't always too convincing! The Math in the Movies site collects information and discussion about movies with mathematics and mathematicians in them.
• People say funny things about math... Check the Mathematical Quotations Server.
• What happened on this day in mathematical history? Check out Today in Mathematics.

Professional Societies

• We've already listed the MAA above, so we'll just mention it here.
• The American Mathematical Society: The AMS is the professional society for research mathematicians in the U.S. This server also has the Combined Membership List for AMS/MAA/SIAM/AMATYC and the MathSciNet search engine for finding reviews of math books and articles.
• Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics: SIAM is the professional society for mathematicians working outside academia.
• American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges: AMATYC is the professional society for mathematicians teaching at two-year colleges.
• National Council of Teachers of Mathematics: NCTM is the professional society for mathematics teachers, and has developed the well-known NCTM Standards for the teaching of mathematics in the schools.

Large Archives and Indices

• The Math Forum is a large archive of mathematics information, ranging all the way from elementary school to advanced math. Their list of major internet math providers is very useful.
• The Mathematics Archives: lots of mathematical software, plus many other things.
• The mathematics department at Penn State has a large collection of links to Mathematics Information Servers.

Other interesting sites

• Women in Mathematics is a project sponsored by the MAA whose goal is to win more women for mathematics.
• Suppose you come up with a sequence of integers... Is it a well-known sequence? Check with Sloane's On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences.
• The Geometry Center produced a great deal of work on geometry and visualization. The center is now closed, but the material on their site is still worth looking at.
