The Mathematical Gazette is the original journal of the Mathematical Association. Its readership is a mixture of school teachers, college and university lecturers, educationalists and others with an interest in mathematics. Find articles about the teaching and learning of mathematics, with a focus on the 15-20 age range, and expositions of attractive areas of mathematics. Regular sections include letters, book reviews and a problem corner. Coverage 1894-2005 in JSTOR.

This journal, begun in 1943 as Mathematical Tables and Other Aids to Computation, publishes original articles on all aspects of numerical mathematics, book reviews, mathematical tables, and technical notes. It is devoted to advances in numerical analysis, the application of computational methods, high speed calculating, and other aids to computation. JSTOR has content from 1960-2005.

Find out what is going on in the field of mathematics. Each issue contains one or two such expository articles that describe current developments in mathematical research, written by professional mathematicians. Other features include articles on the history of mathematics, mathematics education, and professional issues facing mathematicians, as well as reviews of books, plays, movies, and other artistic and cultural works involving mathematics. (1995-present)

SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics contains research articles on mathematical methods and their applications in the physical, engineering, financial, and life sciences. Coverage in JSTOR from 1966-2005.

Available through JSTOR archive collection, this journal of the Mathematical Association of America spans the years 1970-1983. JSTOR also offers access to MAA's Mathematics Newsletter (1926-1934) & National Mathematics Magazine (1934-1945).

A collection of web links related to a variety of mathematical topics, brought to you as a member service of the American Mathematical Association of Two Year Colleges (AMATYC). The purpose of this site is to give educators and students a starting point in searching for resources on the Internet. The site is maintained by the Online Resources Director, George Alexander, with technical expertise by the AMATYC Website Coordinator, Jim Ham.

The California Mathematics Council Community Colleges
(CMC3) provides a forum for Community College mathematics faculty in Northern and Central California.

Since 1894 and its founding in 1915, the MAA has supported mathematics educators with the sharing of ideas, articles, and discussion. The community is involved with MathFest and Joint Mathematics Meetings to find inspiration and move the profession forward.

MERLOT is a free and open community of resources designed primarily for instructors and students of higher education from around the world to share their learning materials and pedagogy. It offers a user-centered collection of peer-reviewed online learning materials, catalogued by registered members and a set of faculty development support services. Find simulations, quizzes, reference resources, tutorials, animations, and more that will help facilitate instruction and understanding.

SIAM encourages interaction between mathematics, scientific, and technological communities with activities, conferences, and publications.

What started out as a few algebra videos for Khan's cousins has grown to over 2,100 videos and 100 self-paced exercises and assessments covering everything from arithmetic to physics, finance, and history.

From demonstrations on calculating volume and quadratic functions to TED Talks on Origami and Math Education, Films on Demand features streaming videos that will support many interests for students and instructors in the Mathematics discipline.

An encyclopedia specializing in math and sciences, find topics in all areas of mathematics as well as biographical and historical articles.

Provides access to more than 900 peer-reviewed scientific journal articles in the health and life sciences. Coverage: 1995-current

American FactFinder allows users to search and analyze demographic and economic information about the nation and your communities. Available in English and Spanish.

From this site of the United States Census Bureau, find statistics on an array of different subjects that the nation's Census Bureau tracks. The data collected helps to determine the distribution of Congressional seats to states, identify community services needs, and funding allocation decisions for communities, and satisfies other information needs.

An Initiative for President Obama's administration, Data.gov increases the ability of the public to easily find, download, and use datasets that are generated and held by the Federal Government. Data.gov provides descriptions of the Federal datasets (metadata), information about how to access the datasets, and tools that leverage government datasets. The data catalogs will continue to grow as datasets are added.

Presents articles, viewpoints, and statistics on a variety of social issues including gun control, genetic engineering, censorship, abortion, and terrorism from the popular Greenhaven Press series, Opposing Viewpoints, At Issue, Current Controversies, and Contemporary Issues Companion Series.

"This resource is a set of instructional materials developed to help beginning physics students build a solid understanding of vector algebra." Two PDF lectures and an assessment offer overview of terminology, vector notation, and methods for solving vector-related problems. The goal is to help students differentiate between the uses of vectors in mathematics vs. physics. developed by the NSF-funded Mathematics Across the Community College Curriculum (MAC3).
