What, you might ask, is going on in the world of mathematics? Hundreds of new books and works are published in this fantastically diverse field every year. The folks at the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) have seen fit to create a set of detailed reviews that offer insight, irreverence, and eradication all in one fell swoop. Visitors can look over the Featured Reviews on the site's homepage to find trenchant critiques of works such as "Algebra for Symbolic Computation" or "Actuarial Mathematics for Life Contingent Risks." Clicking on the Browse list allows visitors to explore over 9400 different reviews by rating, reviewer, or topic. The topic list is thorough and includes several hundred headings, including applied topology, dimension theory, and integral geometry.
