The following is a list of web sites with mathematical content. The list is not intended to be exhaustive. Rather, it is designed to give a feel for the range of materials available.

MathDL

•   JOMA: The Journal of Online Mathematics and its Applications.

• Digital Classroom Resources: Click Browse on the top navigation bar to see these resources arranged by topic.

Collections

• The Connected Curriculum Project (CCP): Interactive materials for courses from precalculus to linear algebra, differential equations, and engineering mathematics. Most modules have discussion and instructions in web pages with downloadable computer algebra system worksheets for student exploration and reports. The following modules are good examples of this material.

• Radioactive Decay (in Differential Calculus)

• Equiangular Spirals (in Multivariable Calculus)

• The Post CALC Project: Another Duke project, these materials are designed for high school students who have finished a yearlong course in calculus, but still have time left in their high school career. The format is similar to the CCP materials, but these modules are considerably longer.

• Cut the Knot: A recreational view of many important ideas in mathematics is given via java applets on Alex Bogolmony's site, featured regularly on MAA Online. Click Interactive Activities on the left navigation bar to see some of these sorted by topic.
  

• Virtual Laboratories in Probability and Statistics: Kyle Siegrist of UAH provides applets for probability and statistics, as well as the "Probability/Statistics Object Library" containing the Java class files and source files for everything on the site. All objects are freely available under the terms of the General Public License. Click on Probability Spaces to try out Buffon's Coin Experiment or other simulations.
  

• Demos with Positive Impact: This site was created by Dave Hill at Temple and Lila Roberts at Georgia Southern. While many of these materials require MatLab or other software, there are a number of animations available. For example, look at a Gallery of Volume Visualizations in Recent Additions.
  

Other "Digital Library" related projects

•   NCTM Illuminations: These materials are designed to illuminate the NCTM Standards. Click on Interactive Mathlets. Check out the Vectors and Cars applet.

• Eisenhower National Clearinghouse: Perhaps the most comprehensive web resource for science and mathematics curriculum material, there is a wealth of on-line learning applications throughout this site. Browse (click the triangle) on Technology from the given link, and check out the information available under Graphing or Computer Uses in Education.

• MERLOT: This is extensive project, part of the emerging National Science Digital Library (NSDL), contains materials that range across many disciplines.

• iLumina: Another collection in the NSDL. This site has extensive metadata available on their entries. The material available covers biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, and physics. Use Internet Explorer to search this site.
  

Archives and other resources

• Math Archives: A wide variety of resources, including public domain software.
  

• Math Forum: One of the oldest web sites featuring mathematics, this site focuses on materials and services for K-12, including the Internet Math Library that provides links to and brief reviews of useful math websites.

• MathWorld: An encyclopedic math site created by Eric Weisstein at Wolfram.

• The MacTutor History of Mathematics archive: A rich site. Click on the Famous Curves Index and check out a couple of the curves.
