out about a million things. Subjects include: car and mortgage payment schedules, the cost of
raising kids, poker odds, water and soil capacities, cooking measurements, navigation problems,
astronomical predictions -- up to the most sophisticated engineering equations.
Database Advisor at University of California, San Diego (http://scilib.ucsd.edu/Proj/dba/)
UCSD uses a Z39.50 gateway to many of their scientific databases. There are over 20 scientific
databases available. To achieve uniformity across databases, DBA's search strategies are by
necessity rather generic. In many cases more precise searches can be performed in each
database.  Database Advisor guides you in choosing a database, it does not perform the
most precise search possible in each database.

Updated Atlas Maps (http://www.esd.ornl.gov/ern/qen/nerc.html)
Recent concern over global climate change has prompted earth scientists to look back in time to
predict future trends. All forms of paleontological and geochemical evidence have been used to
chart past global climate records. These include pollen and fossil plants, zoology, ice core data,
sedimentology, soil analyses, and more. The end result is a tremendous pool of information
waiting for synthesis. Dr. Jonathan Adams, paleoecologist and biogeographer at the University
of Adelaide, Australia, has assembled much of this information in a series of regional paleogeography maps outlining vegetation patterns over the past 130,000 years. The maps of continent wide region (Europe, North America, etc.) are arranged chronologically; detailed descriptions with embedded links to primary information sources explain the data....

main reviewing publication for the mathematical research community.  There is a brief introduction
to the materials provided.
Mathematical Quotations Server (http://math.furman.edu/~mwoodard/mquot.html)
A collection of mathematical quotations from many sources. May be searched by keyword.
Mathematical Snippets (http://scidiv.bcc.ctc.edu/Math/MathSnips.html)
This site, created by the Mathematics Department at Bellevue Community College in Bellevue,
Washington, contains descriptions of six mathematical concepts: the Pythagorean Theorem,
Archimedes' Tombstone, the Mobius Strip, the Koch Snowflake Curve, Plateau's Problem, and
Counting to Infinity. Each snippet contains a very brief history and an explanation of the concept.
Mathematics Archives (http://www.math.neu.edu/~suciu/archives.html)
Mathematics Journals on the Web (http://www.math.neu.edu/~suciu/journals.html)
Mathematics Web Sites Around the World (http://www.math.psu.edu/MathLists/Contents.html)
Includes a list of mathematics department web servers throughout the world, mathematics
electronic journals, mathematics preprints, mathematics software, and mathematics organizations.
Mathographies is a collection of short biographical sketches of famous mathematicians and
people who contributed to the study of mathematics. The sketches were written by faculty at
Bellevue Community College (BCC). Twenty four biographies are provided, including
Archimedes, Descartes, Sonya Kovalevsky, and Mary Ellen Rudin. The biographies highlight
all aspects of a person's life, from personal milestones to professional achievements. References from which the biographical sketches were taken are provided.
New Journals in Mathematics (http://www.ams.org/mathweb/mi-newjs.html)
NIST GAMS - Guide to Available Mathematical Software (http://gams.nist.gov:80)
PAM Division of SLA Mathematics Homepage (http://pantheon.yale.edu/~dstern/math.html)
Prime Pages: prime number research, records and resources
(http://www.utm.edu/research/primes)
Site devoted entirely to prime numbers. The site defines prime numbers and gives information on
the largest known primes. Includes a section on how to find primes and prove primality.   There is substantial cross referencing within the site and to the annotated bibliography.
Statistics WWW Virtual Library (http://www.stat.ufl.edu/vlib/statistics.html)
WebMath (http://www.webmath.com/)
A general purpose resource for quantitative problems, intended for broad use but especially for
school age children, their families and teachers.  Users scan the index on the home page for a
particular topic and calls up a form that the user completes by supplying the specific numerical
details. The site then provides an answer with narrative to explain how the answer was obtained.
Although the idea is a notable one, the site is sometimes marred by technical flaws.

PHYSICS WEB LINKS

Atomic Physics on the Web (http://plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il/API.html)
College Physics for students of biology and chemistry
(http://www.rwc.uc.edu/koehler/biophys/text.html)
It is a complete physics text with problems covering a full year of noncalculus, undergraduate
physics; it requires students to have a working knowledge of algebra. The hypertext material is
aimed at students taking college level courses in biology and chemistry, with many connections
made in the content to interesting problems from these fields. Topics treated are mechanics, fluids,
electricity, magnetism, atomic physics, thermodynamics and wave physics. The problems are well
within the capability of average students and are meant to be solved without a calculator.
Contributions of 20th Century Women To Physics (http://www.physics.ucla.edu/~cwp)
Details the contributions that 20th-century women have made to physics.
Galileo Galilei's Notes on Motion
(http://www.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/Galileo_Prototype/MAIN.HTM)
Galileo's notes on motion and mechanics document his work on mechanical problems over a
period of more than forty years. The manuscript consists of more than 300 pages.
Galileo Solid State Imaging Full Data Releases
(http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/galileo/sepo/fulldata.html)
The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has
released updated Solid State Images of Galileo's sixth orbit of Jupiter (E6). Data sets and images
are available through the Planetary Data System.
Internet Pilot to Physics (http://physicsweb.org/TIPTOP)
The world's most comprehensive index to on-line physics resources.
Learn Physics Today (http://library.advanced.org/10796/)
Offers students in high school and college a good source of online tutorials in basic, noncalculus
physics.
Los Alamos National Laboratory e-Print archive (http://xxx.lanl.gov)
The Los Alamos archive is a vast repository of physics preprints, or e-prints. A primary
means for physicists to exchange information.
Lunar Prospector Homepage (http://lunar.arc.nasa.gov/)
NASA Technical Reports Server (http://techreports.larc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/NTRS)
Physics Departments Worldwide (http://www.physik.uni-oldenburg.de/EPS/PhysNet/)
Official String Theory Web Site (http://www.superstringtheory.com/)
Highly informative and enjoyable for all visitors. Principal pages are presented for basics,
experiment, cosmology, black holes, theatre (a virtual lecture hall), people, time line, links,
and the forum. Simple, clear explanations make the site accessible and enjoyable for the
layperson and yet interesting and useful for students and even specialists.
PhysicsWeb (http://physicsweb.org)
PhysicsWeb includes a weekly news service covering all aspects of physics. In addition it will be
complemented with regular in-depth stories; PatentNews; articles from Physics World, the
leading monthly magazine published by the Institute of Physics; conference listings; information about scientific equipment and products and PhysicsJobs, the world's most popular electronic
recruitment section. PhysicsWeb will be free of charge to all until April 1998, after which time it
will be available for free only to IoP members and Physics World subscribers.
Table of New Nuclear Moments (Preprint)
(http://www.nndc.bnl.gov/nndc/stone_moments/moments.html)
Nicholas Stone of the Oxford University Physics Department's Clarendon Laboratory has
compiled a Table of Nuclear Moments, which is a revision of the Table compiled by P.
Raghaven (Atomic Data Nuclear Data Tables 42, 189 (1989)). The revised table is available
at Brookhaven National Laboratory's National Nuclear Data Center in three formats: Adobe Acrobat .pdf, PostScript, and as a Microsoft Excel worksheet. The table is a preprint article for which the author invites comments. [KH]
PAM Division of SLA Astronomy Homepage (http://pantheon.yale.edu/~dstern/astro.html)
Virtual Laboratory-University of Oregon (http://jersey.uoregon.edu/vlab/)
To provide students with truly interactive texts, a series of experiments has been created using
Java to demonstrate the application of this method of teaching.  These experiments are meant to
be conceptual interfaces to the equations of physics and/or represent interaction with data that
simulates a real physical experiment.  These are targeted at physics classes for non-majors where
we currently have no physical lab sections due to resource constraints.
