I got to visit a site that once again made me feel that great excitement of finding an excellent resource on the Web.
The site is Wolfram’s Research World of Science http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/.
It’s clean, easy to use, and has lots of depth. The main categories are mathematics, physics, astronomy, chemistry, and biography.
Not sure why none of the life sciences are listed and why biography is there. The self-description of the site pretty much identifies this as an encyclopedia put together by one person : “This resource has been assembled over more than a decade by internet encyclopedist Eric W. Weisstein with assistance from the internet community.” – About Eric Weisstein’s World of Science
It’s a great site and visit it when you get the chance.
