Radical Math

http://www.radicalmath.org

Jonathan Osler, who teaches math and Community Organizing at El 
Puente Academy for Peace and Justice, a public high school in 
Brooklyn, New York, started this website to encourage students to ask 
the question, "What are the problems that my community is facing, and 
how can I use math to understand and help solve them?"

Radical Math provides links to over 500 lesson plans, articles, 
charts, graphs, data sets, maps, books, and websites to help users 
bring these issues in the classroom.

Mathematical Imagery

http://www.ams.org/mathimagery

"A mathematician, like a painter or poet, is a maker of patterns. If 
his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are 
made with ideas," wrote mathematician G.H. Hardy in A Mathematician's 
Apology.

Mathematics and art come together on the American Mathematical 
Society's new webpage, Mathematical Imagery. The site includes albums 
of math-inspired and mathematically-generated works, which may be 
sent as e-postcards, links to online galleries and museums, and to 
other resources about mathematics and art. New works will frequently 
be added to the collection.
