Part of the University of Toronto Mathematics Network, this page explores the classic Tower of Hanoi puzzle through its legendary origins, an interactive playable version, and a deep dive into the mathematical patterns it reveals. Created by Philip Spencer, it connects the puzzle to concepts like Hamiltonian paths and higher-dimensional geometry, making it a genuinely enriching educational resource.

A curated collection of external math links from MathIsFun, organized into math websites, fun puzzle sites, and schools, covering everything from algebra and geometry to game theory and Pi. Created by Rod Pierce, this page serves as a springboard to some of the web's best math resources for students, teachers, and curious minds alike.

Alex Rutar is a mathematics postdoctoral researcher specializing in fractal geometry, dynamical systems, and dimension theory, with affiliations at the University of Jyväskylä and a PhD from the University of St Andrews. His site serves as an academic hub linking to his publications, expository writing, CV, and open-source developer tools built around LaTeX and terminal utilities.

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.

The Rice Virtual Lab in Statistics (RVLS), created by David Lane at Rice University, offers a comprehensive suite of free web-based tools for learning and teaching statistics, including an interactive online textbook, Java simulations, real-world case studies, and an analysis lab. Supported by the National Science Foundation and recognized by multiple educational organizations, it covers topics from basic descriptive statistics to ANOVA and regression.

Hosted at York University, the Gallery of Data Visualization is a reference collection showcasing classic and contemporary examples of statistical graphics and chart design. It serves as an educational resource for students and researchers interested in how data can be effectively communicated through visual means.

Bruno Kevius has assembled an extensive link collection covering mathematical art, fractals, chaos theory, and geometry, featuring resources on M.C. Escher, polyhedra, cellular automata, and fractal software. With over 120 curated links spanning strange attractors, tessellations, origami, and geometric sculpture, this is a rich reference hub for anyone exploring the intersection of math and visual art.

Dimensions is a freely available two-hour mathematical film by Jos Leys, Étienne Ghys, and Aurélien Alvarez that guides viewers through nine chapters building up to the concept of the fourth dimension. Released under a Creative Commons license, it offers commentary and subtitles in over a dozen languages, making advanced mathematical visualization accessible to a global audience.

Abuse of Notation is a thoughtful blog by a writer who weaves together mathematics, logic, philosophy, and programming into long-form essays and books, covering topics from category theory to Kant to functional programming. The site also features several self-authored books, including 'Category Theory Illustrated,' making it a surprisingly deep resource for readers who enjoy rigorous yet personal intellectual exploration.
