The Digital Proceedings of the Organic Mathematics Workshop, held at Simon Fraser University December 12-14 1995, are available on the Web. Papers are presented on such topics as Pfaff's Method, arithmetic properties of binomial coefficients, the Hirsch Conjecture, and differential equations, among others. However, what makes the site unique are the "mathactivations" that accompany the papers. Here the user can interactively enter variables to change outcomes using the mathematical computer program Maple. The result are papers that are "organic" in that they can change with user input, demonstrating interactively the concepts they explain. The site also provides spaces for readers to comment directly on the papers.
