The
Math Forum Internet Resource Collection
This
site is part of the The Math Forum, an on-line mathematics education
community centre, and provides an extensive list of annotated links
to other sites. The sites are ordered alphabetically and the collection
can be viewed in outline or annotated form. There is a well designed
search engine which allows for a variety of searches, i.e. keywords,
categories and dates.

University
Museum of Natural Science and Scientific Instruments of the University
of Moderna
A dynamic catalogue of the models of mathematical machines stored
in the Museum's Laboratory of Mathematics. Each model (of which there
are 155) is introduced with a photograph, a computer animation (produced
using Cabri II), a description, a proof of its properties, and a bibliography.
Some interactive Java simulations are also included. The site is in
Italian but there is an excellent general introduction in English.
An extremely informative, beautifully illustrated and well designed
site.

Code
of the Quipu: Databooks
The Databooks are the work of Marcia Ascher and Robert Ascher and
until now were only available on microfiche. They contain detailed
descriptions of 206 quipus (Inca knotted cord arrays) studied first-hand
in museums and private collections spread over three continents. The
Databooks also contain references to other published quipu descriptions
and the locations of extant quipu specimens. There is a list of references
to the Aschers more general writings about quipus.
