My Ten Favorite (Undergraduate Accessible) Sites for
Recreational Mathematics: 10. An excellent
site to learn more about primes for students of various backgrounds. http://www.utm.edu/research/primes 9. The Fibonacci
Numbers are easy to define but never seem to run out new properties waiting
to be discovered. This is a nice
site devoted to them. http://alas.matf.bg.ac.yu/~mm97106/math/fibo/fibo.htm 8. The number Pi
also seems a common source of both interest and wonder. This site has
plenty of links devoted to that constant, many of which require little
knowledge to enjoy. Unfortunately, it talks. What were they thinking? Keep the volume down. 7. This page has
a nice library, indexed by subject.
Plus Steven Wolfram is just really cool. 6. This small
site contains nice answers to many questions undergraduates seem to be
interested in. http://archives.math.utk.edu/topics/index.html 5. This site is
great for the non-Mathematician designed to correct common misconceptions. They
also have some intelligent reviews. 4. This site is a
collection of many of the more graphical Mathematics links. Be sure to
check out the Mathematician trading cards if you visit. http://camel.math.ca/Recreation/kabol/knotlinks.html 3. This is a good
place for people to learn about the many different branches in Mathematics
and even read some results in certain areas. http://www.math.niu.edu/~rusin/known-math/ 2. I found this
site packed with fun reading. There is a really nice section on some
interesting constants which arise in different areas of Mathematics. http://www.mathsoft.com/mathresources/constants/wellknown/0,,0,00.html 1. My favorite
Mathematical website of all. I love to use material from here to help
get my Calculus students more excited about the subject. I hope my love
of this page doesn't mean I am more of a historian than Mathematician. http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/ |
