Internet Resources
- Math Archives
An interesting source with a wide variety of links to software, teaching materials,
and other topics in math, all combined with a searchable database. Topics section is organized
by major category (algebra, applied mathematics, calculus, etc.).
- Math Digital Library (Mathematical
Association of America)
Composed of six categories, this site provides varied resources related to
the study of and practice within the field of mathematics. The free sections include:
The Journal of Mathematics and its Applications (JOMA), Digital Classroom Resources (DCR),

Considered not only the clearest and most readable online resource for mathematics,
but also one of the most reliable. A comprehensive and interactive mathematics encyclopedia
intended for all levels of academic study.
- Mathematical functions
contains the world's most encyclopedic collection of information about mathematical
functions. The site also details the interrelationships between the special functions
of mathematical physics and the elementary functions of mathematical analysis as well
as the interrelationships between the functions in each group.
- The Multi-repository mathematics collections (Univ. Michigan)
Allows browsing, basic searching, and bibliographical searching of a large collection
of historical texts, published in the 19th and early 20th centuries, from the field of
mathematics. Also links out to a similar collection at Cornell University.
