52. Some disasters attributable to bad numerical computing
http://www.math.psu.edu/dna/disasters/disasters.html

The Patriot Missile failure, in Dharan, Saudi Arabia, on February 25, 1991 which resulted in 28 deaths, is ultimately attributable to poor handling of rounding errors. The explosion of the Ariane 5 rocket just after lift-off on its maiden voyage off French Guiana, on June 4, 1996, was ultimately the consequence of a simple overflow. The sinking of the Sleipner A offshore platform in Gandsfjorden near Stavanger, Norway, on August 23, 1991, resulted in a loss of nearly one billion dollars. It was found to be the result of inaccurate finite element analysis.

http://www.uniovi.es/~quimica.fisica/qcg/tessel/tessel.html

Tessel2 is a 3D "compiler" to produce crystal and molecular models, parametric surfaces and several forms of sphere tesselations. Molecular models combine balls-and-sticks, arrows and coordination polyhedra representations of pure and defective crystals, finite molecules or clusters. Several methods for tesselating the sphere are currently implemented, including: recursively subdividing a inscribed cube, tetrahedron or octahedron; geodesic division based on a number of meridians and parallels; and minimization of the electrostatic repulsion of a set of points lying on the sphere surface. The program produces output to be rendered with POV-Ray 2 or 3, Geomview (OFF format), or any Virtual Reality renderer (VRML V1.0 format). In addition, a very simple output (POINTS) is provided for those applications in which a list of points is best suited.

58. The Connected Curriculum Project
http://www.math.montana.edu/~frankw/ccp/home.htm

The Connected Curriculum Project uses the usual three perspectives -- numeric, visual (graphic), and algebraic -- to help understand phenomena involving mathematics. In addition, we use hands-on experimentation. We chose this module as the starting point for our tour because it illustrates the use of hands-on experimentation and our emphasis on using mathematics as a language to express, communicate, and reason about real-world phenomena. One of the central themes of this modeling course is Newton's Model of Cooling. As with all models, the limitations of Newton's Model are as important as its successes in describing real-world phenomena. We begin with an experiment, described in this module, intended for high school or middle school science or mathematics classes.

Applications and Misapplications of Cognitive Psychology to Mathematics Education.

John R. Anderson, Lynne M. Reder, Herbert A. Simon

We show that cognitivism does not imply outright rejection of decomposition and decontextualization. We critically analyze two movements which are based in part on this rejection--situated learning and constructivism. Situated learning commonly advocates practices that lead to overly specific learning outcomes while constructivism advocates very inefficient learning and assessment procedures. The modern information-processing approach in cognitive psychology would recommend careful analysis of the goals of instruction and thorough empirical study of the efficacy of instructional approaches.

On Growth & Form: Learning Probability Concepts By "Doing Science"
http://cps-www.bu.edu/~trunfio/cps-ogaf.html

Analyzing fractal patterns in nature. In each module, students typically start with a hands-on activity in which they flip coins or roll dice to mimic the randomness involved in forming structures such as lightning bolts, coastlines, neurons, termite tunnels, bacterial colonies, root systems, forest growth, soil cracking, galactic distributions, mountain ranges, deltas, tides, clouds, DNA nucleotide sequencing, coral formations, and body organs. As repetitive coin flipping becomes tedious, students turn to computer simulations, which demonstrate how fundamentally random microscopic events can give rise to fractal macroscopic patterns. The programs can be downloaded right from this page.

97. Data Powers of Ten
http://www.ccsf.caltech.edu/~roy/dataquan/

The following list is a collection of estimates of the quantities of data contained by the various media. Each is rounded to be a power of 10 times 1, 2 or 5. Most of the links are to small images. Suggestions and contributions are welcomed, especially picture files or pointers to pictures, and disagreements are accepted at roy@caltech.edu. The numbers quoted are approximate. In fact a kilobyte is 1024 bytes not 1000 bytes but this fact does not keep me awake at night.

98. Annotated Internet Resource Collection
http://mathforum.org/library/

A well-developed, annotated, searchable collection of Web resources for teachers and mathematicians. Everything from math departments and graphics to lesson plans and software. All sorts of general education resources from education departments and virtual field trips to lesson plan archives, professional organizations, and software.

99. MathMagic
http://mathforum.org/mathmagic/

MathMagic is a K-12 telecommunications project developed in El Paso, Texas. It provides strong motivation for students to use computer technology while increasing problem-solving strategies and communications skills. MathMagic posts challenges in each of four categories (k-3, 4-6, 7-9 and 10-12) to trigger each registered team to pair up with another team and engage in a problem-solving dialog. When an agreement has been reached, one solution is posted for every pair.

100. MathMol (Mathematics and Molecules)
http://www.nyu.edu/pages/mathmol/

An introductory starting point for those interested in the field of molecular modeling.

101. Learning Through Collaborative Visualization Project (CoVis).
http://www.covis.nwu.edu/

This is the web site of the Learning Through Collaborative Visualization Project (CoVis). Today, CoVis is a community of thousands of students, over one hundred teachers, and dozens of researchers all working together to find new ways to think about and practice science in the classroom.

108. The Little Gallery of Roulettes
http://aleph0.clarku.edu/~djoyce/roulettes/roulettes.html

Roulettes are produced when circles revolve around or inside other circles. More precisely, they are the locus of a point on, inside, or outside the revolving circle. When the drawing point is right on the rotating circle, an epicycloid or hypercycloid is produced.
