Resources for Students of Mathematics

Web Resources

  • Mathematical Association of America (MAA)
    The MAA provides online resources for both teachers and students of mathematics.
  • GeoGebra offers a free online apps bundle wtih graphing, geometry, algebra, 3D, statistics, probability.
  • Inkscape is free and open-source vector graphics software which runs on Windows, Mac OS X and GNU/Linux and uses the W3C open standard SVG as its native format. Inkscape can output as TikZ if you want to draw it first and then tinker more in TikZ by playing with the code.
  • The Ipe extensible drawing editor for creating figures in PDF format supports making small figures for inclusion into LaTeX-documents as well as making multi-page PDF presentations.
  • TikZ: A simple visual editor for creating commutative diagrams. Also see link to github for TikZEdt standalone software for producing figures with a built-in graphical editor and a code box.
  • General resources: Including presentation and math-talking pointers.

Open Educational Resources (OER)

Wolfram

Wolfram|Alpha

Wolfram|Alpha is a computational knowledge engine. It generates output by doing computations from its own internal knowledge base, instead of searching the web and returning links. Use as few words as possible to communicate. Use unambiguous whole words. Just describe what you're interested in. You don't need to explicitly ask a question. There is also a ChatGPT plugin.

Wolfram MathWorld

MathWorld currently features a number of innovative interactive elements that enhance its usability for a variety of different readers. These features include:

  • The MathWorld Classroom, which provides a set of pop-up "capsule summaries" for more than 300 mathematical terms.
  • Extensive citations to books and journal articles, many of which are active hyperlinks.
  • Thousands of downloadable Mathematica notebooks.
  • Several types of interactive entries, including LiveGraphics3D applets for interactive three-dimensional geometry.
  • A powerful full-text search engine with both basic and advanced searching capabilities.
  • Mathematics Subject Classification metadata in the HTML headers of each page.
  • Special information for Mathematica users.
