Science and mathematics collects references, databases and study material for science and maths subjects. The listings cover chemistry, physics, biology, astronomy, earth science and maths, with a mix of reference databases, course pages, calculators, simulations and self-assessment tools. Some entries are large public databases such as compound or species catalogues, and others are small teaching sites or video series. Worth checking: the level each resource aims at, the date of its data and whether the authors are named. Accuracy matters most here, so prefer sources that explain how their numbers were produced.
A collection of educational applets for visualizing concepts in math, physics and engineering, covering topics such as oscillations, acoustics, signal processing, electricity and magnetism and quantum mechanics. The applets were originally written in Java but have mostly been converted to JavaScript.
The Borr Project offers a pre-college mathematics curriculum built from online materials, covering topics such as calculus, discrete mathematics, linear algebra and probability. Courses are chosen to match the 2015 CUPM Guide and be open for enrollment. The curriculum can be completed in about two years with roughly 18-22 hours per week, and students may work alone or in groups.
