Societies and Associations:
 
American Mathematical Society
The AMS is a professional membership organization for research mathematicians and a leading publisher of mathematical research results.
American Statistical Association
The ASA is a scientific and educational society founded in 1839 to foster excellence in the use and application of statistics. ASA's 19,000 members serve the industrial, governmental and academic sectors. The ASA publishes six journals, conducts scientific conferences, fosters a continuing education program, and is very active in bringing statistical education to elementary and secondary schools.
Mathematical Association of America
The MAA is the largest professional society of college and university mathematics teachers in the world. Its mission is to advance the mathematical sciences, especially at the collegiate level.
Eisenhower National Clearinghouse
ENC is an information source for K-12 math and science teachers. ENC is funded through a contract with the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Educational Research and Improvement. They dozens of documents (like the NCTM guidelines) on-line regarding curriculum in mathematics and the sciences.
National Science Foundation
Check it out. Particularly interesting is the information on improving your grant proposal.
Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM)
SIAM is a society or 9000 members that fosters the development of the methodologies needed in these application areas. It is fitting that the acronym SIAM also represents the society's slogan -- Science and Industry Advance with Mathematics.
Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) Undergraduate Page
Undergraduate Mathematics students are especially invited to this WEBpage. Profiles of Mathematicians, information about internships and programs, and more.
Association for Women in Mathematics
A national organization whose purpose is to encourage women to study and to have active careers in the mathematical sciences. AWM publishes a bi-monthly newsletter on professional opportunities, news of women in mathematical sciences, and book reviews. Among other activities, AWM administers an electronic network and sponsors events aimed at high school students.

Mathematics Journals

Acta Mathematica Universitatis Comenianae
An electronic version of the journal by the same name. It publishes research articles in English language. URL form Slovakia (Slovak Repupblic) and the download is usually slow.
Journal of Approximation Theory
The journal is devoted to pure and applied approximation theory and related areas. Criteria for publication include novelty, importance, and clarity of presentation.
Complexity International
Complexity International is a refereed journal for scientific papers dealing with any area of complex systems research. The theme of the journal is the field of complex systems, the generation of complex behaviour from the interaction of multiple parallel processes. Relevant topics include (but are not restricted to): artificial life, cellular automata, chaos theory, control theory, evolutionary programming, fractals, genetic algorithms, information systems, neural networks, non-linear dynamics, and parallel computation.
Electronic Colloquium on Computational Complexity
The Electronic Colloquium on Computational Complexity (ECCC) is a forum for the rapid and widespread interchange of ideas, techniques, and research in computational complexity. The purpose is to use electronic media for scientific communication and discussions in the computational complexity community. ECCC welcomes papers, short notes and surveys with relevance to the theory of computation, clear mathematical profile and strictly mathematical format.
Theory and Applications of Categories
An all-electronic, refereed journal on Category Theory, categorical methods and their applications in the mathematical sciences.
Electronic Journal of Differential Equations.
EJDE is a strictly electronic peer review publication dealing with all aspects of differential equations (o.d.e.'s, p.d.e.'s, integral equations, functional differential equations, etc.), and their applications.
Furman University Electronic Journal of Undergraduate Mathematics
This on-line journal is designed to encourage undergraduate research in the field of mathematics. The Journal accepts papers of significant mathematical interest written by students containing work done prior to the students' obtaining a Bachelor's degree. Papers of all types will be considered, including technical, historical, and expository papers. The Journal is not refereed in the traditional sense. Rather, any student wishing to submit a paper must have a sponsor--a full-time faculty member willing to approve the student's work. The sponsor will play a role in ensuring the quality and veracity of the paper.
Journal of Lie Theory
A journal for speedy publication of information in the areas of Lie algebras, Lie groups, algebraic groups, and related types of topological groups such as locally compact and compact groups.
The Electronic Journal of Linear Algebra (ELA)
Articles are electronically submitted. Refereeing of articles is conventional and of high-standards, and is being carried out electronically. Posting of articles will be immediate following acceptance and filling out copyright forms. There is a US mirror which is quicker to load.
Mathematical Physics Electronic Journal
The intention of the journal is to publish papers in Mathematical Physics and related areas that are of the highest possible quality. Research papers and review articles are selected through a normal refereeing process, overseen by an editorial board.
New York Journal of Mathematics. Also available via gopher and ftp
The NYJ of Mathematics is a refereed journal (the first electronic general mathematics journal) offerec by SUNY, Albany. The journal is broadly based in subject matter, covering algebra, modern analysis, and geometry/topology. The papers are presented via TeX.
Electronic Transactions on Numerical Analysis. Also available via gopher
An electronic journal for the publication of significant new and important developments in numerical analysis and scientific computing. Papers of the highest quality that deal with the analysis of algorithms for the solution of continuous models and numerical linear algebra are appropriate for ETNA.
Southwest Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics

Statistics Journals

The Data and Story Library
Datasets, no DATASETS. The tools or teaching statistics. DASL (pronounced "dazzle") is an online library of datafiles and stories that illustrate the use of basic statistics methods. We hope to provide data from a wide variety of topics so that statistics teachers can find real-world examples that will be interesting to their students. Use DASL's powerful search engine to locate the story or datafile of interest.
