MATHEMATICAL TABLES AND FORMULAS - S.O.S. MATHEMATICS
http://www.math.utep.edu/sosmath/tables/tables.html
A place for students and educators to access mathematical
formulas. The tables are organized by topics, and include:
- the first 1000 prime numbers
- the prime factorization of the first 1000 integers
- math for the toolbox - SAE to metric conversion
- some important constants
- Bernoulli and Euler's numbers
- algebraic identities
- units of conversion
- binomial coefficients and formulas
- trigonometric identities
- derivatives
- integrals
- indefinite integrals
- integrals with trigonometric functions
- integrals with exponential and logarithmic functions
- integrals with hyperbolic functions
- definite integrals
- Laplace transforms
- first and second order differential equations
S.O.S. Mathematics, the Web site of the Department of
Mathematical Sciences at the University of Texas at El Paso,
provides material that reviews the most important results,
techniques, and formulas in college and pre-college
mathematics. The learning units are presented in worksheet
format and require the student's active participation.

THE SCIENCE & MATHEMATICS OF LIGHTHOUSES - John Euchler
http://www.mccanntech.org/teachers/jeuchler/lighthouse/lighthouse.html
This "educational resource honoring the design, history, and
spirit of our nation's guiding beacons" offers suggestions
for questions that investigate the geometry, algebra and
trigonometry, physics, and chemistry of lighthouses, with
some history and a short bibliography of books and online
references, including Lighthouse Digest magazine:
http://www.lhdigest.com/
For more on lighthouses, see LIGHTHOUSE BUILDERS NEED TO
KNOW MATH from the Groton Public Schools Online. The page
identifies some geometric shapes common to lighthouse
architecture, and outlines a construction project for making
your own lighthouse on a paper plate island, with a link to
information on how to electrify it:

MATH WORDS, AND SOME OTHER WORDS, OF INTEREST - Pat Ballew
http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/1861/etyindex.html
Why do they call it a right angle? Where did the word hundred
come from? A list of over 120 mostly math words, and their
origins, from abscissa to zero.
