CHANCE is a new introductory course in probability and statistics based upon current chance events as reported in the daily newspapers. This resource includes not only an extensive database of such articles, but also "course profiles", and helpful information on teaching probability and statistics (e.g., common fallacies, results of educational research).

Software and lesson materials for 2- and 3-dimensional geometry, leading to applications in molecular geometry and dynamics. The amount of lesson material of a mathematical nature is currently small, but should grow as the project continues. A variety of free 3D molecular visualization programs are available through this site, for Mac, PC, and UNIX.
