Obviously, mathematics is one of my great loves in life! I guess
I like things that are precise. Here are some of the web links to
math sites I like to surf. This page needs a lot of house
cleaning; someday I'd like to put in more info on some of the
better links so folks who get to this page will have a better idea
of what's where. Maybe next week (I said "precise", not perfect!).
Incidentally, the first link is an explanation of why Simpson's rule is
exact on cubic polynomials which I created. The second link is a
geometric proof for the irrationality of the square root of 2 which I
wrote up since I couldn't find it on the web. The third through eighth
links are also to things I've written.
As of November 8, 2007, I think I've deleted a bunch of dead links. Would still like to add
more notes to some sites, but in spite of being retired, man, do I keep busy.
