Math Help Resource: Libraryofmath.com

didn't know where it would be best to post this. but here you go...

http://www.libraryofmath.com/

seems like it might be a good resource for anyone who needs help with math. I haven't used it much myself, but anyone who has or does can say whether or not its useful.

i needed to omit the www in the link to get the page. here is its (full, apparently) list of topics should anyone want look any of them up. i trust me cutting and pasting it here is acceptable. appears to be of use to freshman and sophmore years in the US (mathwonk, if you're reading, we probably shouldn't read them in case it provokes too many "No! That's not how to think about it" feelings)

[matt grime]

I got that from their "list of topics" page, and there was only the one. Perhaps a different page since the link you posted wasn't one that worked for me?

That looks better, though why on Earth zorn's lemma is in the group theory section is a mystery, mind you most of the other topics there are odd as well.

its ok though, something like mathworld.wolfram.com but its not detailed enough.
