American Mathematical Society

Mathematical Association of America

Electronic journals - here you can find articles from journals being published both in paper and electronic form.

Famous mathematical constants is a place on the Web, where you can quickly refer to a mathematical constant without bothering to shuffle through thick, heavy books. The constants are organized in groups (by area of math where they are most often used) with links to each constant's history and application.

The solution of Kepler's sphere packing problem by Samuel P. Ferguson and Thomas C. Hales

Eric's treasure trove of mathematics contains short articles on zillions of things. If you want to know something about anything mathematical, this is a good place to look. There is also Eric's treasure trove of scientific biographies, which contains biographical information on many mathematicians. Eric has treasure troves for several sciences; links can be found on the page referenced here.

Gateway to Mathematics - provides you with a great collection of short articles designed to introduce you to the different fields of modern mathematics. Here you can find answers to many questions you have always wondered about...

Knot A Braid of Links - incredible source of information on anything that has to do with mathematics.

Oregon State University's Web Based Study Guides includes reviews on the basic topics covered in calculus: algebra, differentiation, integration, sequences and series, vector calculus, ordinary differential equations.

Hilbert's 23 problems is a place on the Web, which contains the text of David Hilbert's 1900 address to the International Congress of Mathematicians, Paris, in which he posed 23 problems. The quest for finding answers to these problems has shaped the course of mathematical research in the 20th century and will certainly continue to do so in this millennium.

Mathematical quotation server: A collection of mathematical quotations culled from many sources.

List of plane curves with illustrations. Includes formulas, properties, and history of many special curves, including: Archimedean Spiral, Cassinian Oval, Conic Sections, Lemniscate of Bernoulli, Limacon of Pascal, Quadratrix of Hippias, Trisectrix of Maclaurin, Witch of Agnesi, and more!
