I am co-editor-in-chief (with Joseph Kung) of Advances in Applied Mathematics .
I am also on the Editorial boards of the paper journals
Eric also has very illuminating bios of notable scientists, like Pythagoras, Archimedes, Newton, Einstein, and Zeilberger , among others.
I also REALLY love Steve Finch's Favorite Constants Site.
Also extremely instructive and entertaining is the beautifully written Cut the Knot site of Alex Bogomolny.
Whenever I am down, I browse through Neil Sloane's Amazing Collection of Integer Sequences , and it never fails to cheer me up. I also love Simon Plouffe's Inverse Symbolic Calculator.
Be sure to visit the revolutionary Center for Experimental and Computational Mathematics that has tons of intriguing papers and links to such gurus as Jon and Peter Borwein, and Maple whiz Mike Monagan.
Equally revolutionary, birthplace of SPECIES (the most fruitful unifying concept in enumerative combinatorics of this quarter-century), is LACIM that has links to the masters Francois Bergeron, Pierre Leroux, Gilbert and Jacque Labelle, Christoph Reutenauer, and the one-and-only Simon Plouffe.
I strongly recommend INRIA , Birthplace of Automated Average Case Analysis, the extremely useful and versatile Maple package gfun, and the Seat of gurus Phillipe Flajolet and Bruno Salvy, and emerging guru Frederic Chyzak.
Equally useful is the very versatile ACE (Algebraic Combinatorics Environment) project, under the baton of Sebastien Veigneau.
