Links to Useful Sites

Here are some sites I have found useful:

Dr Math, at the Drexel Math Forum site
MAA, the Mathematical Association of America
AMS, the American Mathematical Society
NCTM, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics
PCTM, the Pennsylvania affiliate of NCTM

Here are some sites I just enjoy visiting:

Classical Net, Dave Lampson's Classical Music page
Creating Net Sites  Netscape's Web Building ideas place,
     from where I stole the design for this page.
Dr. David Joyce's page at Clark University

Kappa Mu Epsilon (nothing really exciting here at the moment)
