The MathDL Home Page
The Mathematical Sciences Digital Library project is an important
initiative by the MAA to take a leading role in evaluating and
presenting mathematical resources that are available electronically.
Encouraged, in part, by the ideas underlying the creation of the
journal Communications in Visual Mathematics (CVM)
,
of which I was a founding editor, the MathDL project is looking to investigate
the use of multimedia and non-linear methods in communicating
mathematics; indeed, now that its grant has ended, the CVM project is
being incorporated into the MathDL.
The home page for MathDL
currently features an image from the virtual art gallery, "Surfaces
Beyond the Third Dimension"
,
which has served in the past as the icon for the CVM on the MAA
web site
.
This icon is based on
"Z-Cubed Necklace"
from that exhibit.
