THE LIBRARY OF MATH
http://libraryofmath.com/
The Library of Math website was designed by David Andrew
Smith, The University of Texas at Artlington, to be a
"browser-quiet" place -- easy to navigate, and
self-contained -- suitable for those of any skill level to
come and learn and eventually become experts. Dedicated
to serving the world's need for mathematical education, the
Library of Math and its database of mathematical information
are free for the public to browse and learn from.
Topics include:
- Business Algebra
- Business Calculus
- Calculus I
- Calculus III
- Euclidean Geometry
- Financial Mathematics
- Group Theory
- Trigonometry

MATH TV
http://www.actionmath.com/index.html
Math TV is a learning project for middle school students that
covers the topics of:
- whole numbers
- fractions
- percentages
- ratios
- probability
- algebra
- geometry
Each week, Math TV posts a Flash movie of a new math problem.
Follow along as the main character, IQ ("Infinity Quick"),
introduces the problem and works through its solution, step
by step; then work an interactive word problem similar to
the one you've just watched in the online video. The practice
area on the site has a calculator and notepad for testing
ideas or making a drawing.
Students are invited to send their own challenging math word
problems to IQ for possible inclusion on Math TV:
