Eric Weisstein's World of Scientific Biography
http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/biography/
The World of Biography briefly outlines the discoveries and advances of over 250 mathematicians, and includes links to publications with more historical details about the individuals. Each notecard-like bio puts a face to the entries in MathWorld, Weisstein's encyclopedic resource of mathematical terms.
Browse biographies of over a thousand scientists by nationality, gender, family (such as the Bernoullis, Bohrs, and Curies), and more.
