Just to let you guys know, I've put up a new (non-NeXT related, non-computer related) section of my site devoted to math and physics. The idea is to take existing resources on the web and organize them into something similar to what either a physics or (applied) mathematics major might take working towards their degrees.
It is design for anyone who is passionate about these subjects but can't justify going back to school for them. But I recommend that if anyone finds themselves spending any serious amount of time following the materials you should strongly consider putting that time into a school where you would get both knowledge
and credit for your efforts.
Anyways, here it is...
Shaw's Amateur Mathematics and Physics Resource Page (
http://www.shawcomputing.net/resources/math/index.html)
As with all my other project pages, new stuff will be added as I have the time.
Nice collection of links, a very comprehensive first start. Look forward to seeing how this page evolves.
And for those who want to try out some of their ideas, Wolfram released Version 7 of Mathematica yesterday.

That looks like some great improvements... specially over the version I'm using right now (Mathematica 4.1).
I'm still collecting data and writing the applications page, and it is going to include software for NeXT systems as well as software for other platforms (Mac, Windows, Solaris, Linux and IRIX).
In addition to Mathematica some of the other titles I'll be including are LiveMath Maker (formerly Theorist), GeomView, and 3D-XplorMath (to name a few).
If you guys know of any good math or physics/astronomy applications please post a link.
Thanks.
