Thing 15 WIKIWIKIWIKIWIKI lots of wiki fun

Wikipedia.org is a site I've used in the past for researching history. For this assignment I explored Wikipedia.org for a more thorough look. After choosing Wikipedia in Enlgish, I clicked on the Mathematics tag on the top of the main page. The featured article was about Leonhard Euler, an 18th century mathematician who is known as the inventor of modern trigonometry. I followed tags to get info on calculating, trigonometry, calculus formulas, and "Did You Know..." Did you know... is a part of Wikipedia that gives you a quick (wiki means "quick") view or tidbit of knowledge. This is one of the "Did You Knows" found on the site: "Did you know that there are 6 unsolved mathematics problems whose solutions will earn you one million US dollars each?" All 6 of these unsolved math problems are also listed on Wikipedia.org. Under the Mathematics tag are links to thousands of tidbits, definitions, and formulas all organized under subjects including Analysis, Algebra, Geometry, Number Theory and more. Wikipedia.org will definately be a resource I will use in my future high school math class. I will ensure my students are aware of the site and how to use it to find information that will grow their understanding of the math content.
