Discrete Mathematics Resources
Math Forum - Discrete Math contains many internet
resources although for us I feel the most useful is
the material on
Graphs
at a site called MegaMath from Los Alamos National Lab.
Also the Gallery
of Interactive Geometry contains several
interesting exhibits although it may be too advanced
for first year students. It is part of
The Geometry Center
.
Resources for Discrete Mathematics contains
- assorted course syllabi
- some textbooks
- publishers
- Journals
- Web search engines and Maths Servers
but there is nothing of use for a first year course
as far as I can see.
A site for Discrete Maths
which contains notes and examples of basic logic
laws, conditional statements, the binomial theorem,
functions etc. It is based on a text but it does not
say which one! Its not so great.
Calculus
Some Java applets illustrating basic concepts
can be found at
Manipual Math with JAVA.
An interactive site is
WWW Interactive Mathematics Server (WIMS)
There are many Maple worksheets at the
Georgia Institute of Technology and some
Java Applets. Even more Maple worksheets can be
found at Douglas Meade's homepage
here and
here.
The next site may be useful in second year
subjects like Engineering Maths.
Interactive
Learning in Calculus and Differential Equations
with Applications at The Indiana University
of Pennsylvania. The site is mirrored at
Open Net Pty Ltd
Australia, but I couldn't find it.
The Center for
Scientific Computing, Espoo, Finland, has a list
of Network Services for Maths topics called
CSC Mathematical Topics
.
There is a page containing
Mathematical movies
in mpeg format and links to more movies made
elswhere.
Here is a link to interactive exercises
for
Matrix Algebra. They are updating the
system at the moment so the exercises don't work
yet.
Project
Mathematics!
produces videos and workbook modules aimed at
highschool students. "They are distributed on a
nonprofit basis".
General Sites of Interest
World Lecture Hall
There are many lecture notes in many different fields
at this address.
The Electronic Library
for Mathematical Software offers free access to
more than 10000 mathematical algorithms and documents.
Here is an online interactive textbook
for
Real Analysis
dealing with sets,
sequences, series, continuity,
differentiability, integrability (Riemann and
Lebesgue), topology etc...
This is a great site, though of no use to
a first year course.
