HyperMath is "a growing collection of examples of applied mathematics with links to their applications to problems in physics and astronomy." The author, Carl R. (Rod) Nave of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Georgia State University, does not claim that the website material is complete, noting that he has been adding to the project on an as-needed basis through the process of developing...

Ponder This is a monthly problem that lets ambitious people "match wits with some of the best minds in IBM Research." The problem is usually fairly abstract and requires refined mathematical skills, critical thinking, and patience to solve. Each month a new problem and the solution for the previous month are posted online. Users are encouraged to submit their answers for possible recognition on...

The Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy (IMSA) is a magnet school for grades 10 - 12 "created by the State to develop talent and stimulate excellence in teaching and learning in mathematics, science and technology." About 650 students are enrolled in this 3-year residential program, which takes "a unique approach to learning that is problem-centered, inquiry-based and integrative." The bulk...

Alexander Bogomolny, a software developer and former mathematics professor, operates this educational and interesting Web site. His intention in creating the site is to help people "learn, if not math itself, then, at least, ways to appreciate its beauty." Although beauty is something most of us generally do not associate with the subject, the material manages to spark creative thinking by...

The author of this website, Alexander Bogomolny (formber associate professor of mathematics at the University of Iowa), describes the purpose of this website as a call for mathematics appreciation in response to "math anxiety" and stereotypes. Noting that, "in pragmatic terms we need mathematics very rarely, and, when we do, the mathematics we need is mostly trivial," the author suggests that...

The International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos is "widely regarded as the leading journal in the exciting field of chaos and nonlinear science." Feature articles from previous issues are available online as free samples, along with papers and letters, as long as you provide your name and email address. They also offer to send free emails with updates on the current issues's table of contents....

The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) is the World Championship Mathematics Competition for High School students. This annual event began in 1959 in Romania, with 7 countries participating and has gradually expanded to over 80 countries from 5 continents. The location alternates each year, with the current 2004 IMO scheduled for July 4-18 in Athens, Greece. The IMO Advisory Board ensures...

The Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, based in the United Kingdom (UK) is a national and international research institute that offers research programmes on selected themes in mathematics and the mathematical sciences with applications in science and technology. Leading mathematical scientists from the UK and overseas interact in long-term research projects. This website links to...

Jahrbuch Project has compiled this Electronic Research Archives for Mathematics that includes "the most important mathematical publications of the period 1868-1942 and a database based on the 'Jahrbuch über die Fortschritte der Mathematik'" or JFM. The project's directors have posted articles of JFM, which was founded in 1868 by the mathematicians Carl Ohrtmann and Felix Müller, because they are...

This site highlights some of the conjectures and open problems concerning L-functions, with emphasis on the areas in which there has been recent progress using results from Random Matrix Theory. The main page's index links to short articles on such topics as the GUE Hypothesis, Zeros and Primes, and Extremal Problems. The site comes from the American Institute of Mathematics, which has posted...
