Math Resources
Both previous threads of this nature are outdated and can't be added to anymore, so here's the third edition of this megathread.
This list is by no means comprehensive, so please contribute suggestions in the comments below!
For the sake of brevity, not everything in the comments is included here; those resources with more general or strictly mathematical appeal are preferenced in this list.
Videos
-
K-12 material (* = linear algebra, differential equations, etc)
-
University-Level Mathematics
-
The Catsters - Category theory videos
-
Fields Institute Video Archive - a mix of general audience talks and conference broadcasts
-
Recreational mathematics
Online Notes/References
-
A massive compilation of online lecture notes - see also this comment.
-
Paul's Online Math Notes - Extensive Calc I-III and Differential Equations notes.
-
Wolfram Mathworld - Similar to Wikipedia in scope, but more strictly controlled with respect to editing.
-
Rough Guides to Mathematics - An incomplete but still very useful series of guides to a number of advanced subjects, capturing lots of general overview and intuition.
-
Expii has a number of K-12 math and science tutorials and problems.
Computer Algebra Systems (* = download required)
Graphing & Visualizing Mathematics (* = download required)
Typesetting (LaTeX)
-
Detextify - draw a shape and get the LaTeX command for it
-
Overleaf - Collaborative online LaTeX editor
-
Mathpix converts images and screenshots into LaTeX code. Currently designed for Mac and iOS.
-
MathIM - LaTeX-enabled chat rooms
-
The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List - 338 page PDF with over 500 tables; when they say comprehensive, they mean comprehensive.
Community/General Websites: very general-purpose things that almost anyone in their target audience ought to know about.
-
The Art of Problem Solving - lots of resources for middle and high school students, especially those involved in math contests.
-
Sci-hub (URL changes over time, Google it) offers free (pirated) access to most scientific papers given a DOI. Accessing such papers deprives large publishing companies of access fees, but does not particularly affect the authors of said papers. r/math officially recommends that you not use sci-hub to access papers conveniently for free and not use this trick to easily redirect papers to sci-hub.
Blogs/Articles (* = occasional non-math political content)
-
Blogs - There are of course an incredible number of blogs out there; this list covers just a few of the most well-known and high-quality. More in the subject-specific comment on this post.
-
