This diverse collection of refreshers, how-tos, and research guides, while geared for computer science (CS) students, also has a few resources that are useful for anyone. A quick review of mathematical concepts and advice on how to write papers and abstracts fit in the later category. Students starting out in CS may find the explanation of binary and hexadecimal systems valuable, or perhaps the...

Game theory is a branch of applied mathematics that studies "rational behavior in interactive or interdependent situations." Often used in economics and political science, game theory is a tool to deal with uncertainty and make intelligent decisions. Mike Shor, a professor at Vanderbilt University, operates this Web site. Many useful resources related to game theory are offered, including lecture...

This resource for educators and students of game theory aims to make lessons on game theory more relevant to the student (see also NSDL Scout Report for Math, Engineering, and Technology, October 11, 2002). This section of the website provides links to lecture notes for courses in game theory and applied game theory offered by faculty at various universities. The collection is arranged in a table...

Compiled by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Langara College, Vancouver, this metasite of internet resources contains hundreds of links to mathematics tools, on-line versions of complete courses, illustrations of individual concepts, and a great deal more.

Seasoned Internauts in engineering fields will recognize this site as the formerly titled Edinburgh Engineering Virtual Library (EEVL, see the September 20, 2001 Scout Report). EEVL (which will retain its acronym) has expanded its offerings and now brings users resources in mathematics and computing as well. The site should feel familiar to users of the old EEVL database, but along with the...

Like the Scout Report, TenLinks.com provides privileged access to Web-based resources by seeking out, evaluating, and reviewing Web materials for its target audiences -- professionals in technology-related or driven fields. It does a very good job of assessing and listing what's out there, presenting its treasure trove of top picks in a readily accessible short list of key industry categories,...

The Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences aims to "enhance mathematical activity in Canada by bringing together mathematicians from Canada and abroad, and by promoting contact and collaboration between professional mathematicians and the increasing numbers of users of mathematics." They support research in pure and applied mathematics, statistics and computer science, as well as...

This excellent metasite for prime numbers is mind-boggling, not only in terms of the quality of information provided, but also in the breadth and variety of the hyperlinks, from discourse on the Riemann hypothesis to programs and freeware for calculating Mersenne primes. Dr. Chris Caldwell, creator of the Graph Theory Tutorial Website (discussed in the April 28, 1999 Scout Report for Science and...
