Wolfram Demonstrations Project
http://demonstrations.wolfram.com
The Wolfram Demonstrations Project is a web collection of freely available, interactive demonstrations in math, science, and many other areas.
Ranging in level from elementary education to front-line research, this collection of open-code "mini-applications"—all created in Mathematica—grows every day, with contributions by users from around the world. The collection has just passed the 5000-item mark.
For website visitors who do not have Mathematica, the free Mathematica Player can be downloaded here:

More information about the dynamic capabilities in Mathematica is available at:

NOVA: Hunting the Hidden Dimension
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/fractals/
The PBS television series NOVA has produced a program about fractals, their impact on the world of mathematics, and the way they're shaping our understanding of nature. In addition to the program itself (in five chapters), the website offers:
- a program preview (video)
- program description
- links and books
- teacher's guide
- e-mail newsletter
