I had requests for hits so here is what I received http://www.sci.hkbu.edu.hk/scilab/math/math.html http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/history/BiogIndex.html http://www.agnesscott.edu/lriddle/women/women.htm http://rhslibrary.org/math.htm INDEX TO MATHEMATICIANS AND THEIR BIOGRAPHIES http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/BiogIndex.html AFRICAN AND AFRICAN AMERICAN MATHEMATICIANS http://www.math.buffalo.edu/mad/00.INDEXmad.html BIOGRAPHIES OF WOMEN MATHEMATICIANS http://www.agnesscott.edu/lriddle/women/women.htm EUCLID http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/Mathematicians/Euclid.html GALILEO http://galileo.rice.edu/ BENJAMIN BANNEKER http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aia/part2/2p84.html http://www.billerica.k12.ma.us/library/biography.htm I am particularly fond of this site because it features WOMEN mathematicians! From Agnes Scott College in Atlanta. http://www.agnesscott.edu/Lriddle/women/credits.htm I used it very successfully with mixed classes (boys and girls) of seventh and eighth graders, and they – and their teacher – were amazed at the number of famous women in the field and what significant contributions they had made. This is not the easiest website to use – lots of navigations needed to get around successfully – although it is billed as an elementary/middle school site. http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/index0.html Lots of indexes, however, make it fun to put the mathematicians in other contexts. This website is very comprehensive, down to “rubrics for judging student created mathematician biographies.” Thought it might help. http://math.about.com/lr/biographies/347367/1/ http://math.about.com/od/mathematicians/a/mathies.htm Kristina Fallon, LMS Robert Morris School, k-8 So Bound Brook, NJ librarychickie@gmail.com "Only the educated are free." - Epictus, (Greek-born, Roman slave and philosopher- 55 AD - 135 AD) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
