There's a cool math forum here www.talkmath.com/mathforum/[/URL]

Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to send people away from physicsforums. I just felt that these guys should at least have a chance for getting their forums running. Of course, physicsforums will still remain the best, the only science discussion site ever. :smile:
