News : As of Sept. 1, 2010, I have jumped from the faculty of Stony Brook University to be full time Chief of Content at The Museum of Mathematics . We are creating a hands-on, interactive museum, which will open to the public in Manhattan, NY, in 2012. It will be the coolest place you can imagine to discover and enjoy the wonders of mathematics.Seven paper construction projects provide students with experience exploring properties and relationships of two-dimensional and three-dimensional geometric figures. This activity consists of seven attractive constructions which are fun and relatively easy to make because one simply cuts out paper pieces and slides them together. A number of mathematical skills are developed, concerning geometric structure, coloring patterns, and concrete and mental visualization.

Instead I am concentrating recommendations and examples within the undergraduate mathematics curriculum, so please visit the Open Math Curriculum page. If you are linking to this site, please use that page for a broad list, or link to linear.pugetsound.edu specifically for the Linear Algebra text. Thanks for your help publicizing open textbooks. This page contains some links to similar open-source textbooks.
A harmonograph is a mechanical apparatus that employs pendulums to create a geometric image.

Webmath is a math-help web site that generates answers to specific math questions and problems, as entered by a user, at any particular moment. The math answers are generated and displayed real-time, at the moment a web user types in their math problem and clicks "solve." In addition to the answers, Webmath also shows the student how to arrive at the answer.
