THE NEW MATHDL
http://www.mathdl.org/
The Mathematical Association of America (MAA) has recently
unveiled the new site for the Mathematical Sciences Digital
Library (MathDL). It features a fresh look that includes:
- JOMA, the Journal of Online Mathematics and its
Applications
- DCR, Digital Classroom Resources
- Convergence, an online magazine devoted to the use of
the history of mathematics in teaching mathematics
The next component of MathDL to come online soon will be
Open Source Mathlets (OSLETS). OSLETS will feature
interactive online materials that are scientifically and
pedagogically sound and that can be easily reused/repurposed
using JavaScript and HTML forms. In addition, many of these
materials produce output ready to copy and paste into a
spreadsheet or computer algebra system. The prototype OSLETS,
called Lite Applets, were designed by a group headed by Frank
Wattenberg and funded by a supplement to the MathDL grant.
MathDL, one of the first collections in the National Science
Digital Library (NSDL), has been developed with the support
of a grant from the National Science Foundation. The Math
Forum @ Drexel carried out the initial software development
and had hosted the site until now. The current site is hosted
and maintained by the MAA.

PROBLEM BANK
http://www.acumedia.co.uk/problembank/
Simon Dakeyne hosts a central base of math problems created
by teachers. He welcomes submissions of more problems.
Read the problems on the Web; download them and their
solutions as MS Word documents.
If you prefer to browse the problems rather than use a
searchable database structure, view Dakeyne's original site:
1000 PROBLEMS TO ENJOY
http://www.1000problems.com/
The problems are presented under the categories:
- Number
- Algebra
- Shape and Space
- Statistics
