Check out this Blog - Math is Wonderful
For all of you who just love math, I encourage you to check out the "Math is Wonderful" Blog at
http://math-blog.com/2009/07/27/two-beautiful-mathematical-documentaries/
This blog contains a lot of great resources and recommendations, and is rated among the top Math blogs. I've highlighted some of the items I found particularly interesting below:
(1) Book reviews on various math books. Check out the latest review on “Mathematicians: An Outer View of the Inner World” By Antonio Cangiano
(2) Documentaries on Mathematicians. “Fermat’s Last Theorem” and “Dangerous Knowledge”. Per the authors of this blog, both of these documentaries take a popular science style approach to describing compelling and emotional stories about great mathematicians.
(3) There is also a link to 13 Useful Math Cheat Sheets, and numerous other links and categories.
I hope you find this as informative as I did.
