Unlike many other resource indexes, which either list
many separate courses or offer notes and supplements for one particular
presentation, we are planning here to go through the subject topic by topic
and to collect for each topic just the best examples of what's "out there"
by way of supplementary material. (One
other
site which takes the same approach is at the Chinese International
School in Hong Kong. For the first year or so of this project that was
the only other one we have seen, but since then a couple of others have
been started and doubtless there will soon be many more.) It is not our
intent to provide a web-based course so much as a collection of aids and
inspirations to support a classroom experience, so don't expect to learn
the whole subject just by working through this material (though for some
that may eventually be possible). We are not attempting to be comprehensive
at first, either in the topics covered or in the material indexed for each
topic; but for many topics we may recommend links to several versions and
will try to keep a comprehensive list of what we've seen available for
those who really want to look at everything. We shall therefore welcome
both news of links we have not included, and suggestions for modifying
our selections. (If making such a recommendation, please do so from the
reply form in the relevant section as that will help us to quickly place
new links in the appropriate locations.)
Please do come back soon and see what
we've managed to put together.
What Others Say:
"an
outstanding meta-source for mathematics students"
In September of 1999, this resource guide was reviewed
by the Science and Engineering branch of the NSF funded Internet Scout
Project (based at the University of Wisconsin), and described as "an outstanding
meta-source for mathematics students". (The Scout Report for Science &
Engineering is provided by the Internet
Scout Project, an NSF-funded, university-based project at University
of Wisconsin-Madison. The Internet Scout Project's (scientific) mission
is to make the Internet more useful and accessible to researchers and educators
in the sciences.)
