Mathematics Topics Sites

Mathematics-Lesson Plans / Webquests:

A listing of many, many lesson plans and other math resources. The links are organized by topic categories. Part of a larger web site at edhelper.com.

Electronic Library:

This Oklahoma State University site has links to some on-line publications of specific math interest such as Tangents, the Harvard-Radcliffe mathematics journal, and Outposts, the Swarthmore Geometry Forum newsletter, among others.

Internet Resources for the Mathematics Student:

This site at Langara College in Vancouver, BC contains resources for specific topics, as well as general categories. You can find sites related to Precalculus, Calculus, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, Discrete Math, and Statistics.

AWC:

The Association for Women in Computing promotes the advancement of women in the computing professions.

StarLogo:

If you liked Logo, you'll flip over StarLogo. Program hundreds of turtles to move and react to their environment. A great biological systems modeling tool. A free download is available.

METIP:

Mathematics Experiences Through Image Processing is a Univ. of Washington Dept. of Computer Science & Engineering project designed to help K-12 students see the relationship between math concepts and reality. Includes free downloadable software and activities.

Dave's Math Tables:

This math site contains tables, formulas, theorems and graphs related to various math topics.

Fibonacci Numbers:

The University of Surrey's home page for all things Fibonacci. A wealth of resources related to the man and his mathematics. One of the coolest mathsites around.

Fun With Numbers:

This is the page for you if you'd like peruse the first 999 factorials, or other interesting numbers. This is a cool site because the author includes the C source for some of the programs used to calculate the numbers. Not for the faint-hearted.

Dominoes:

Explore variations to the classic counting game.

Google/Googleplex:

A clear explanation of just what this strange-sounding number really is. The page includes several liks to more information about this very large, yet finite, number.

Beat the Calculator!:

Dozens of ways to mentally add, subtract, multiply, divide, and square numbers, as well as calculate percents. Part of the Math Tips and Tricks site of the Drexel Math Forum.

Metric Style Guide:

Although designed by the National Istitue of Standards as a style guide for using metric measurement in written work, it contains a lot of information about metric/U.S. Customary equivalent measures. They also have a history page detailing the U.S. involvement with the metric system.

MegaMath:

A cool site. Topics like topology, infinity, algorithms, and mapping. This is a very engaging site.

Mathematrix:

This site consists of pages devoted to topics like Polyominoes, Flexagons, Mobiüs Strips, Bubbles, and more. Also has a page of links to favorite mathematics sites.

Fractal Past, Fractal Future:

This essay about fractals comes from the 75th anniversary of Science News, now on line. It gives a brief, informative history of fractals, and links to other information about the subject. Also refer to Chaos, Fractals and Arcadia, a look at the fractal mathematics underlying Tom Stoppard's play. This site also contains links to more fractal-related information.

Fractal Modeling Tools:

Use the fractal microscope. A product of NCSA and the Shodor Foundation. Also available: Simsurface, a modeling tool that helps students explore simulated annealing, a method for finding global maxima and minima of complicated multi-dimensionl functions; Galaxsee, computational modeling of a galaxy; Gnuplot, 2-D and 3-D function plotting.

Tessellation Tutorials:

A very nicely organized site cotaining tutorials for producing tessellations using various types of software. Included are: ClarisWorks, Geometer's Sketchpad, HyperCard, HyperStudio, PC Paintbrush/Paint, and Logo Writer. Also includes much more information, including tessellating with a compass and straightedge, as well as links to more tesselltng information.

Totally Tessellated:

An in-depth look at tessellations, including their underlying mathematics. There are many animations and gifs to explore, and links to more information. A history of tessellations, and a glossary are also provided.

Interactive Math Miscellany / Puzzles:

A great site for those who math-it-up for math's sake. Explore Games and Puzzles, Arithmetic and Algebra, Geometry, Probability, and Proofs in Mathematics. Other categories include an Eye Opener Series - a series of problem-solving Java aplets, Things Impossible, and a Glossary.

The Living Mathematics Project:

Based on the premise that mathematics is a dynamic and living subject, this site tries to go beyond the static procedures and formulas usually encountered in mathematics. A number of math topics are explored in an interactive, animated format made possible by web technology, creating a new medium for exploring math. Links to other interactive sites also included.

Euclid's Elements:

This well-organized site features text and interactive Euclidean diagrams. The Geometry Applet:'s movable points allow the viewer to change the view of the various constructions. Java support required.

Trigonometry Short Course:

A similar java site to Euclid's Elements above. Both of these excellent sites and the History of Mathematics Web Resources are from the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Clark University in Worcester, Massachussets.

Getting Started with Maple:

Maple is a computer program for people doing mathematics. Maple can do calculations while you focus on concepts. This page contains tutorials. Software and information available at Maple Software.

Spreadsheet Lessons:

Step-by-step instructions for creating ClarisWorks bar graphs, pie charts, pictograms, and more. Find this page on the Drexel Math Forum site.

The Geometry Center:

All kinds of information about Geometry topics from the University of Minnesota. Their Gallery of Interactive Geometry will stretch your thinking and learning with interactive activities you run over the web. Get full information about other services, too, including Communicating Mathematics with Hypertext.

Geometry POW:

A Drexel Math Forum site. Submit your answers/solutions to the periodicly posted geometry problems.

Tetrahedral Kite Plan:

Just plain fun. And informative.

Pavilion of Polyhedreality:

If three dimensionality is your thing, this is a really fun site. There are some great projects to work on, and lots of cool images. The Encyclopedia of Polyhedra contains over 1000 different polyhedra; plan on spending some time here.

USGlobalClimateResearchProgram:

The U.S. Global Change Data and Information System makes data from various research fields, such as atmospheric science, ecology, oceanography, economics and sociology available to interested parties and the public at large. Good source of real-life data analysis project data. Sponsored by the U.S. Global Change Research Program.

Data Sets For Stats/Probability
Census Bureau Statistics .... Education Data .... National Highway Traffic Safety Assn .... Federal Statistics

Common Math Errors:

A Vanderbilt University math professor's compendium of errors he has seen math students commit repeatedly. Includes likely causes and remedies.
