Encyclopedia of Combinatorial
Structures
This encyclopedia of combinatorial structures has been written by Stéphanie
Petit. It ambitions to be seen as a young cousin of Sloane's
Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences with an emphasis on sequences
that arise in the context of decomposable combinatorial structures.
The
PRIME encyclopedia
This is designed to be browsed alphabetically with level designations
of “elementary” and “advanced” with meanings varying
from topic to topic. By the Math Academy Online™
Mathematical
Constants
List well known constants with explanations and references for futher
reading. By Steven Finch. Mathcad Library.
Tools

This web site to get information about a particular number sequence.
By AT & T
Inverse
Symbolic Calculator
This is a set of programs and specialized tables of mathematical constants
dedicated to the identification of real numbers. It also serves as a
way to produce identities with functions and real numbers. It is one
of the main ongoing projects at the Centre for Experimental and Constructive
Mathematics (CECM).

Prime numbers
The Prime Pages : prime, numbers, research and
records
This site indexes all resources on prime numbers, including its history,
the largest prime numbers, the
Mersenne Primes, the
Riemann Hypothesis, favourite mathematical
constants, and programs useful in proving primality, as well as
games and puzzles.
Mersenne
Primes : History, Theorems and Lists
Wrap your mind around one of math's longest running engagements, the
search for Mersenne primes. Thirty-eight of these numbers, which take
the form 2n - 1, have been described; the largest so far has an exponent
of 6972593. Check out 500 years of history, theorems, and proofs, as
well as related math problems waiting to be solved.
Puzzles
Interactive Mathematics Miscellany
and Puzzles
Games with mathematical explanation by mathematician
Alexander Bogomolny. It is rich array of hyper linked articles,
interactive Java applets, problems, and puzzles offers intriguing ways
for math students and teachers alike to wonder and learn.
Origami
Mathematics
Merrimack College mathematician Tom Hull's Origami Mathematics page
offers a tutorial on origami geometric constructions (including how
to trisect an angle, an impossible task with ruler and compass!). Hull
also includes instructions for making a model of five intersecting tetrahedra
and links to other origami math sites.

History
Calculating
Machines
The history of mathematics goes a long way back
with devices and methods of calculation. Starting with the ancient Abacus,
the slide rule and the logarithms, the mechanical calculating machines,
the electromechanical calculators and finally the electronic computer.
This site deals mainly with the mechanical calculating machines from
a collector's point of view. By Erez Kaplan.
The Measurers:
a Flemish Image of Mathematics in the Sixteenth Century.
This was a Special Exhibition displayed at the
Museum of the History of Science in Oxford during 1995. It centered
around a very unusual and important painting in the Museum's collection,
known simply as 'The Measurers'. The painting depicts a range of practical
activities, foremost among them mathematical instrument making, and
is used in the context of the exhibition both as a starting point for
a discussion of the practical mathematics movement of Renaissance Europe
and as a means of organizing the display of a large number of scientific
instruments, texts and other related objects.
The
MacTutor History of Mathematics Archive
This site is packed with graphs, definitions, and even Java applets
for playing with famous curves like Agnesi's, a pointy hill shape studied
by 18th century mathematician Maria Agnesi.
