Links to Science

Chemistry

Internet Chemistry Resources- http://www.rpi.edu/dept/chem/cheminfo/chemres.html

This catalog of links, part of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's online chemistry department, accesses a variety of catalogs available for browsing. Links to book catalogs connect with over ten publishers. A comprehensive database links menu provides NASA SCAN, EXTOXNET, materials databases, and material safety data sheets (MSDS), along with several other databases. Internet resources for chemistry are filed by e-mail servers, newsgroups, FTP resources, gophers, online guides, software and user groups, Web resources, and teaching resources.

Webchemistry- http://www.latrobe.edu.au/www/webchem

	This site hosts a large list of links to chemistry information around the world, organized by country. A list of chemistry indexes is quite complete and worldwide in scope. Additional links will take you to Web sites and newsgroups devoted to analytical chemistry, computational chemistry, and other topics. This Web site has text-only and Netscape-optimized versions.

Physics

The Internet Pilot To Physics- http://www.tp.umu.se/TIPTOP

The Internet Pilot to Physics (TIPTOP) is an international effort to "create a unified resource for physics and closely related natural sciences on the Internet." TIPTOP is a tool for scientists, industry, students, and teachers— in other words, anyone with an interest in the physical sciences. The information here is both practical and intellectual. The bulk of the site, however, is devoted to Physics Around the World (PAW), a comprehensive listing of resources in areas such as institutions and research groups; meetings, scholarships, and funding; educational resources; companies and instruments; physical constants and related data; professional societies, news, mailing lists, and more.

Environment

Internet Environment Library- http://www.envirolink.org/elib

Imagine a library where all the shelves are lined with books on only one topic. The Internet Environment Library is just such a place, and the topic at hand is the environment. Everywhere you turn in this library, you run into resources and reference materials about environmental issues such as activism, forestry, hazardous waste, climate variations, and wildlife. Access environmental e-mail list archives, an environmental events calendar, a listing of green products and services, and an index of pressing issues for the future of the planet. No library card is required here, and the reference desk is open 24 hours a day.

Mathematics

Internet Centre for Mathematics Problems- http://www.mathpro.com

The Internet Center for Mathematics Problems is a Web site that contains links to many mathematical puzzles and problems on the Internet. You'll find a listing of problem columns from mathematics journals, such as the Fibonacci Quarterly, and from Usenet newsgroups. Other items of interest include problem columns via other Web sites and through electronic mail. In addition, there are online book reviews of problem books, online bookstores that stock problem books, and miscellaneous math topics. This site is very cleanly organized, but it assumes that its audience already has some mathematical sophistication.
