General Math Help
  • Ask Dr.Math
    College students and professors helping K-12 students with their math questions based at Swarthmore College and staffed mainly by Swarthmore students, staff, and faculty. Students are encouraged to send in their math questions.

  • Math Forum Research Collection
    Connects to all different types of math information.

  • Dave's Math Tables
    A very versatile site solving math problems from arithmetic to calculus and beyond.

  • MathDEN
    Large collections of interesting math problem sets in several stages, plus math challenge problems, hints for calculating in your head faster, and more. This is a very nice site. You'll need to register (no charge) or use the login id "guest" and password "guest". Check out the "math on the net" for more fun stuff.

  • The Math Forum
    A virtual center for math education on the Internet; includes pages specifically for educators and mathematics through calculus. (This site was formerly called The Geometry Forum.) Click onto the Student section for help in a variety of math disciplines.

  • Math Help (From The Math League)
    This is a help resource for arithmetic. It contains help on whole numbers, decimals, data statistics, fractions, geometry, ratio proportion, percentages, integers, metric units measurements, intro to algebra, and positive negative numbers, all in an easy to follow format (with examples). It is designed for 4th through 8th grade but it looks useful for all ages.

  • Math Magic
    Math problem challenges on the net. Enjoy the challenges on your own, or register to submit your answers along with other participants.

  • Mega Math
    An absolutely wonderful collection of creative and imaginative ideas, exercises, and fun things to do. For all ages. From the Computer Research and Applications Group at Los Alamos National Laboratory.

  • Math on Web
    An Interactive Math Utilities Page where you can: Evaluate a mathematical expression in variables; Solve a single dimensional function; Solve Kepler's equation; Minimize a function; Fit a curve to a set of data points and more.

  • Maths On-Line
    A project based at the University of Vienna, Austria, and is running since March 1998. Its goal is the construction of a modern mathematics-learning site on the web. It has a large variety of interactive math tutorial applets, which are interesting (Java calculator, 3D plotting, and others).

  • Math Puzzles
    A mixed bag of interactive math puzzles and philosophy. Many of these require Java and/or JavaScript.

  • Web Math
    The internet site that solves your math problem. Variety of problem solving situations, from basic mathematics to algebra, quadratic functions and physics.
Geometry Help
Algebra Help
  • PAT Online
    This has algebra tutorials online. They are demo versions of their classroom programs. Scroll down to On-line Learning to try the tutorial. There is also an equation-solving tutor as well.

  • Zona Land
    In Zona Land you will find educational and entertaining items pertaining to physics, to the mathematical sciences, and to mathematics in general. This site is heavily loaded with Java, VRML and JavaScript so be prepared! They have EZ graph and EZ evaluator, which are great for algebra. Click onto the more math than science section.
Calculus Help
  • Graphics for the Calculus Classroom
    This is a collection of graphical demonstrations developed for first year calculus, but suitable and interesting for high school students as well. From Douglas Arnold at Penn State.

  • The Integrator
    Runs interactively using Mathematica 3.0 to perform integrals for anyone with a web browser. By simply typing in any integral or choosing a random sample, The Integrator sends a Mathematica Link message to a Mathematica kernel, which then does the integral using its built-in Integrate function. The result is sent back within seconds to the Integrator Web Page for you to see.
Probability & Statistics Help
  • Statistics for Everyone
    Excellent explanation of basic terms in statistics, including mean, median, percent change, and per capita.
