Course Materials from the Geometry Center
http://www.scienceu.com/library/makeindex.cgi?SU_Subject=geo...
The course materials include a Teacher's Guide to Building an Icosahedron as a Class Project, notes and handouts from a course developed at Princeton and the Geometry Center called Geometry and the Imagination, and the CHANCE database, by the CHANCE consortium (Middlebury, Grinnell, Spelman, UCSD, Dartmouth). CHANCE is an introductory course in probability and statistics based upon current chance events as reported in the daily newspapers.
ExploreLearning

ExploreLearning offers a catalog of modular, interactive simulations in math and science, called "gizmos," which provided animated demonstrations of a wealth of physics and mathematics topics.
Interactive Mathematics On-line
http://library.thinkquest.org/2647/index.html?tqskip1=1
This takes you step by step through topics such as algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and even chaos theory and Java. There are also links to related sites.
Zona Land
http://id.mind.net/~zona/
In Edward Zobel's Zona Land, "you will find educational and entertaining items pertaining to physics, to the mathematical sciences, and to mathematics in general." The site uses Java programming, Ray Tracing and VRML (a virtual reality language) to provide tools and lessons that help students for students grasp major concepts in algebra, geometry, and physics.

What is the IPL?

The Internet Public Library is a public library for the world wide web.
Students from a consortium of colleges and universities with programs in information science develop and maintain the IPL!
Here are some of the partners in the IPL Consortium. A complete list is found on the IPL Consortium page.

The iSchool at Drexel Florida State University College of Information University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Graduate School of Library and Information Science Rutgers School of Communication and Information Studies

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Information and Library Science University of Pittsburgh School of Information Sciences Syracuse University School of Information The Information School - University Of Washington

The Internet Public Library is hosted by The iSchool at Drexel, College of Information Science and Technology,
with major support from the College of Information at Florida State University.
