This is a collection of links gleaned
from the WWW and from colleagues and graduate students at UNC. I have not
checked them out thoroughly. Some of them look superb, and others may be
of questionable value. I have added my first impressions with the links.
Please check them out and send me
comments. Ultimately I will winnow (and extend) the list and add more incisive
comments, with your help.

1. Mathematics Archives (maintained by the University
of Tennessee) Outstanding!
http://archives.math.utk.edu/
"The goal of the Mathematics Archives
is to provide organized Internet access to a wide variety of mathematical
resources. The primary emphasis is on materials that are used in the teaching
of mathematics. Currently the Archives is particularly strong in its collection
of educational software. Other areas, ranging from laboratory notebooks
and problem sets to lecture notes and reports on innovative methods, are
growing. A second strength of the Archives is its extensive collection
of links to other sites that are of interest to mathematicians. Resources
available through these links include electronic journals, preprint services,
grant information, and publishers of mathematical software, texts, and
journals. These educational resources and the organized collection of links
combine to make the Mathematics Archives a comprehensive site for mathematics
on the Internet."
This site is an extremely rich resource
in many ways.
2. Math Topics on the Web. Harvey Mudd College.
Outstanding!!
http://www.math.hmc.edu/misc/topics.html
A vast number of links for mathematics
of all levels.
3. The Math Forum. Swarthmore College.
http://forum.swarthmore.edu/
"Online Math Education Community Center
Funded by the National Science Foundation.
Formerly called the Geometry Forum,
the Math Forum has as its goal to build a community that can be a center
for all who have an interest in mathematics education. They work towards
this goal in several ways: hosting of newsgroups, organizing a collection
of links to various mathematics resources, and involvement with the development
and evaluation of Internet math materials."
This looks like an excellent site.
3. GAMS Guide to Available Mathematical Software
http://gams.nist.gov/
"A cross-index and virtual repository
of mathematical and statistical software components of use in computational
science and engineering."
3. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
General links: http://www.math.uiuc.edu/Links/
links to Mathematica related sites:
http://smc.vnet.net/mathsite.html
4. Penn State's math guide – Math sites around the world
http://www.math.psu.edu/MathLists/Contents.html
and links to math dept web servers for the whole USA
http://www.math.psu.edu/MathLists/DeptUSA.html
5. Math Search. Sydney University
http://www.maths.usyd.edu.au:8000/MathSearch.html
A tool for searching the contents
of more than 80,000 mathematics pages world wide, by keyword or phrase.
6. Mathematics Virtual Library. Florida State University.
http://euclid.math.fsu.edu/Science/math.html
Many links to mathimatical sites.
7. The Geometry Center. University of Minnesota.
http://www.geom.umn.edu/
" The Geometry Center is a mathematics
research and education center at the University of Minnesota. The Center
has a unified mathematics computing environment supporting math and computer
science research, mathematical visualization, software development, application
development, video animation production, and K-16 math education."
8. Math-Sci Net. Online searching for articles in journals.
http://e-math.ams.org:80/msnprhtml/review_search.html
9. Indiana University Stat/Math Center
http://www.indiana.edu/~statmath/
A very rich site which lots of links
(statistics, numerical computations, operations research, organizations,
etc., etc.) See, especially
http://www.indiana.edu/~statmath/teach.html.
Many links to a wide variety of places
and topics.
http://www.indiana.edu/~statmath/bysubject/
An index of subjects.
10. David Eppstein's "Geometry Junkyard". University of
California at Irvine.
http://www.ics.uci.edu/~eppstein/junkyard/
"These pages contain usenet clippings,
web pointers, lecture notes, research excerpts, papers, abstracts, programs,
problems, and other stuff related to discrete and computational geometry.
Some of it is quite serious, but I hope much of it is also entertaining."
See "Junk sorted into piles" for the
topics.
See "All topics" for a description
of them all.
For research oriented material, see his home page:

11. Galaxy – list of sites – for math
http://www.einet.net/galaxy/Science/Mathematics.html
12. Yahoo math node
http://www.yahoo.com/Science/Mathematics/
A hodge-podge of links, possibly interesting.
13. MACMATC - Middle Atlantic Consortium for Mathematics
and its Applications
Throughout the Curriculum:
http://www.math.upenn.edu/~ugrad/macmatc.html
"The MACMATC is an NSF-sponsored project
involving Penn, Villanova, Community College of Philadelphia, Polytechnic,
some Philadelphia high schools and the Society for Industrial and Applied
Mathematics, that seeks to improve students' appreciation and understanding
of mathematics by infusing math courses with real applications and other
courses with mathematics."
Noble ideas, appears to be still under
construction with only a few things currently available.
