GOOD
SITES |
- 1)Women
Mathematicians
- http://www.scottlan.edu/lriddle/women/women.htm
- These pages are
part of an on-going project by students in mathematics classes.
This site is very good because allows the student to perform
a search using a chronological criteria. This site allows the
student to search other resources to find additional resources.
If my school was doing a theme around the nineteenth century
this site would be great to research historical nineteenth century
women mathematicians.

is excellent because it gives the student the chance to search
for women mathematicians using various criteria. This site also
provides a birthplace map, and a search form. It also gives you
search suggestions that you can use if you are not happay with
the results that you got. |

3)Biographies
of Women Mathematicians http://www.asap.unimelb.edu.au/hstm/data/96.htm
It seems that this site
links to site number one. It just so happens that that sit was
a duplicate. It seems that the Biographies of Women Mathematicians

addresses the topic of of women mathematicians. |

very good description of the conference. |

SEARCH
ENGINE REFLECTION
|
This site evaluation was a very interesting.
The two search engines that I used for my search for Women Mathematicians
were excite and look smart. I found that excite was a better
search engine because it provided me with a lot of resources.
Both search engines returned many hits that were not valid. Of
the two search engines excite had more hits that related to my
search topic. |
