Dr Ron Knott's comprehensive mathematics resource, hosted by Surrey University since 1996, covers Fibonacci numbers, the golden ratio, and their appearances in nature, art, geometry, architecture, and music. Packed with interactive calculators, puzzles, investigations, and dozens of linked pages exploring everything from Lucas sequences to phyllotaxis, this is one of the oldest and most thorough maths sites on the web.

Math2.org is a comprehensive math reference site offering organized tables, formulas, and identities covering everything from basic arithmetic to calculus, linear algebra, and Fourier transforms. Available in both English and Spanish, it also features a message board for math questions and links to other top math resources on the web.

MacTutor is a vast free archive maintained by mathematicians Edmund Robertson and John O'Connor of the University of St Andrews, featuring biographies of over 3000 mathematicians and more than 2000 historical essays. A true labor of love recognized with the Hirst Prize of the London Mathematical Society, it includes specialized indexes covering female mathematicians, mathematical societies, historical curves, and even postage stamps honoring math figures.

Matthew R. Watkins is a mathematician and honorary researcher at Exeter University whose site centers on his celebrated 'Secrets of Creation' trilogy, making analytic number theory and prime numbers accessible to general audiences. The site also features a number theory and physics archive, prime number resources for beginners, and links to his eclectic range of interests including parapsychology, the I Ching, and psychogeography.

Jeff Miller's meticulously researched reference page tracks the earliest known uses of mathematical terminology, tracing when and where specific math words first appeared in historical texts. This is a unique etymological resource for mathematicians, historians, and anyone curious about the origins of the language of mathematics.

Iden's personal corner of the web highlights their love of mathematics, featuring a playful 'Web Pi' page and a collection of 88x31 buttons alongside a blog and micro-log. The site has a charming lo-fi aesthetic with CC0-licensed content and participates in the No AI Webring.

The North Suburban Math League (NSML) organizes competitive math meets for Chicago-area high schools, with five competitions held throughout the school year. The site provides contest archives, meet schedules, written and oral topic lists, coach resources, and a history of NSML alumni who have earned medals at the International Mathematical Olympiad.

Julien C. Sprott's Fractal Gallery is a sprawling collection of computer-generated fractal artwork, featuring a daily auto-updated fractal derived from strange attractor algorithms described in his book 'Strange Attractors: Creating Patterns in Chaos'. Visitors can browse thousands of downloadable images spanning Julia sets, Mandelbrot sets, 3D anaglyphs, tilings, and animations, plus a Java applet that generates new fractals every five seconds.

Parker Adey is a math lecturer at the University of Toronto Scarborough who shares formal notes, informal blog posts, reading recommendations, and teaching materials spanning topology, linear algebra, and beyond. The site doubles as an academic hub with a CV, publications list, office webcam, and a decade of evolution captured in the Wayback Machine.

Kenneth Falconer is a Regius Professor of Mathematics at the University of St Andrews whose personal academic page covers his pioneering work in fractal geometry, geometric measure theory, and multifractal analysis. Visitors will find links to his books and preprints, fractal movie resources, maths poems, and even a note about his impressive record completing 36 LDWA hundred-mile walks.
