Being a mathematics graduate I have a passion for mathematics and I am always fascinated by its beauty.Nevertheless I am interested in history of science and mathematics and computer science in particular and whenever I come to know any related web resource I will bookmark that.I discovered Diigo few months ago and it was the kind of tool I was looking for and I moved all my bookmarks from google to Diigo. In addition to just bookmarking it archives the pages bookmarked and it will be helpful if it gets lost in future(and it is very common).Also it is claimed to be a researcher's tool as it has facility to arrange items and highlight information ,share items with others etc.I suggest every one to try Diigo once.Coming back to mathematics I am listing below some links which will be interesting for any maths lover.
