Searching for information and ideas
contributed by the online community.
See
#fixed_encyclopedia
for fixed, static collections of information.
These sites make it so easy for you to let others
know some of the thoughts and ideas in your mind.
James Newton
http://massmind.org/techref/idea/websites.htm
makes the point that
if you don't share those thoughts
(through posting to one of these sites,
or through other more difficult ways
such as writing and publishing a book),
sooner or later (when you die)
those thoughts and ideas will be lost forever.
These thoughts and ideas can only be put to good use by people who know about them --
and these sites are one of the best ways I know of to connect
people who have ideas to the people who are looking for those ideas.

Eric's Treasure Troves of Science
http://www.treasure-troves.com/
The CRC Concise Encyclopedia of Mathematics
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/
by
Eric W. Weisstein
/* was
http://www.astro.virginia.edu/~eww6n/TreasureTroves.html
*/
This is the first place DAV turns to when I see an unfamiliar term
in math, geometry, or cellular automata.
It's at roughly the college senior level --
Weisstein is not afraid to use calculus, vectors, etc.
He actively asks for help extending the encyclopedia.
