THE MATHEMATICAL ATLAS - Dave Rusin
http://www.math-atlas.org/welcome.html
This is a collection of short articles introducing the
subject areas of modern mathematics, describing a few of
the milestone results and topics, and giving pointers to
further information.
The material is arranged in a hierarchy of disciplines;
take a tour (good for newcomers), click on a territory in
the MathMap or in an annotated version; choose from a list
of subject headings; or search for a topic by keywords.
General headings are:
- Foundations
- Combinatorics
- Number Theory
- Abstract Algebra
- Geometry
- Topology
- Functional Analysis
- Real Analysis
- Complex Analysis
- Numerical Analysis
- Differential Equations
- Physics and Other Sciences and Engineering
- Computers, Information
- Probability
- Statistics
- History

ALL-USA ACADEMIC AND TEACHER TEAMS
http://www.usatoday.com/html/life/academic/intro.htm
Four times a year, USA TODAY honors outstanding students and
educators with the All-USA Academic and Teacher Teams. The
twenty students and educators selected for the All-USA First
Teams are featured in a national newspaper. The students
each receive $2,500 cash awards. Starting in 2003, each
All-USA Teacher First Team member will receive $500, with
the balance of the $2,500 award going to the school.
The All-USA Teacher Team is open to active, full-time,
certified teachers and instructional teams teaching
kindergarten to 12th grade at a public or private school in
the United States or its territories, or Department of
Defense schools overseas. Teachers must be nominated by
someone willing to put in writing why the nominee is
outstanding. Nomination forms for the 2003 All-USA Teacher
Team will be available in January 2003.
