these are links I collected when I was teaching "History of Mathematics" and "Mathematical Explorations" classes. Thank you for using them but I am not adding much to this collection since the time when I first made this list search options have grown tremendously - so if you think there should be more specific links - please make your own collection. occasionally I am checking for broken links.
