DIY Math
Resources for DIY Math
**Continually under revision**
There are TONS of mathematical resources on the web. Here are some of the things that come to mind:
- Text books
- Research papers
- Encyclopedias (e.g. Wikipedia, PlanetMath, more all the time).
- Tutorial videos (e.g. http://www.tutorvista.com/video/math/ and cf. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kly25zVbco)
- Course notes.
- This and other online settings for talking about math.
- A ton of mathematical software, lots of it free.
A broad survey of available tools and resources, with links: http://wiki.planetmath.org/AsteroidMeta/Surveying_the_Math_Metacommons
I hope that we'll be able to use a math-enabled online forum for discussion in the course.
Maybe the most difficult thing is choosing a good learning goal...!

Wolfram Alpha and Wolfram
Wolfram Alpha and Wolfram Mathworld are also both great math related resources. If anyone was looking for anything else to work with.
Another place where I hope
Another place where I hope you may find some useful materials is at http://qpr.ca/math/resources - (mostly for supplementary materials at the beginning college level)
what about not the whole math
what about not the whole math but some exact topics like game theory or smth like this?
Hopefully you can find
Hopefully you can find something like that. Maybe use the link Alan Cooper posted to find or share what you found. Another good idea would be to search with e.g. Delicious for "game theory" (Delicious can be even more useful than Google for finding specific resources). Also, the ideal for a site like PlanetMath is that it would be about all of math, but you could restrict it to just the game theory part and find it works well as a game theory reference too...
