KSU MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES PROFESSIONAL RESOURCE PAGE
It was created by the professors of the Math Department for your use. I have not compared my list to theirs, and you should first use their expertise before looking over this list. In the future this list will be updated to include resources not on the above linked page.

Journals and Citations:
- Electronic Transactions on Numerical Analysis (ETNA) is an electronic journal for the publication of significant new and important developments in numerical analysis and scientific computing. Papers of the highest quality that deal with the analysis of algorithms for the solution of continuous models and numerical linear algebra are appropriate for ETNA, as are papers of similar quality that discuss implementation and performance of such algorithms. New algorithms for current or new computer architectures are appropriate provided that they are numerically sound. However, the focus of the publication should be on the algorithm rather than on the architecture. The journal is published by the Kent State University Library in conjunction with the Institute of Computational Mathematics at Kent State University. Mathematical Reviews will receive all papers accepted for publication in the journal and review them as appropriate. ETNA is registered with the Library of Congress and has ISSN 1068-9613.

- MSN School and Homework Math Help page - This is a great information source when it comes to TEACHING math. This might be useful for the Graduate Students when they are teaching lower level courses. It is mostly for younger kids, but has some useful links on the page. Check it out sometime when you are looking for classroom ideas! It even has a FRACTALS link!
- Check out this interesting link: the Chaos Game. The idea is to find the algorithm to guarantee the minimal score each time. Good luck!
