| COLLECTIONS: History of Mathematics Major collections on Hamilton, Riemann, Berkeley as well as materials on Newton, Boole, and Cantor. Maintained by David R. Wilkins, Trinity College, Dublin. MacTutor History of Math Part of the site is focused on biographies. Every day of the year has a featured mathematician and poster of a mathematian. If your classroom has internet access, use these to start class each day, or print the posters and put them on your door or make overheads. University of St. Andrews, Scotland. A FAVORITE Science Heroes Meant for young people, this site includes Turing, Lovelace, Galileo, Hopper, Da Vinci, and Ramanujan. I like the idea that mathematicians are labeled as heroes! Women Mathematicians An ongoing project by math students of Agnes Scott College in Atlanta, Georgia. You can search alphabetically or chronologically. The list of mathematicians is extensive and each biography has other references. This would be a great site for student research. A FAVORITE Past Notable Women of Computing and History School of Computer Science, Yale University. |
