- A Database of Sample Statistics Quiz Questions - Brian Schott, Ed.; Business Statistics, Georgia State University
In the 1970s the National Science Foundation developed a 3003-page set of statistics quiz questions and answers. This site is a collection of 811 of those questions and answers, with links to the full database, arranged to complement the Introduction to Business Statistics at Georgia State University. Topics include: Problem Sensing; Basic Probability Concepts; Probability Distributions; Data Collection Methods; Making Inferences about One Population; Hypothesis Testing; Analysis of Variance; and Regression Analysis. The textbook for the course is Harvey Brightman and Howard Schneider's Statistics for Business Problem Solving, 2nd Edition (South-Western Publishing Company, 1994).

- Interactive Mathematics Miscellany and Puzzles - Alexander Bogomolny
"The peculiar beauty of Mathematics lies in deduction, in the dependency of one fact upon another. The less expected a dependency is, the simpler the facts on which the deduction is based - the more beautiful is the result." This award-winning site offers games and puzzles, quotes, and much more on a variety of topics from arithmetic and algebra to geometry and probability, and includes solutions and the mathematical theory behind each puzzle. There are also the CTK Exchange (a small discussion group for questions and answers about math problems); the Eye Opener Series (Java applets that illustrate and help solve or prove math problems); a math bookstore; a glossary; and a monthly interactive column using Java applets for MAA Online. The whole site is available on CD-ROM.
