New Page 2
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 seventh 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.
