This article was extracted from the Info-IBMPC digest list moderated by Gregory
Hicks.  I thought the EDUSIG-L list would be a good place to rebroadcast this
note.

MATHEMATICAL SOFTWARE and other TEACHING AIDS for the
TEACHING OF MATHEMATICS
 
wuarchive at Washington University at St. Louis is now a site for the
storage of public domain and shareware software which can be utilized
in the teaching of mathematics at the college and university levels.
In addition, other materials such as, for example, newsletters about
calculus reform and information about software, newsletters, reprints,
etc.  which can be obtained by FTP or electronic mail from other sites
will be made available.
 
Use anonymous FTP to wuarchive.wustl.edu, switch to the subdirectory
/edu/math/msdos and choose the subject area for which you would like
to obtain software.  In each subject area there is a file  00info.txt
which contains a listing of all programs in the area together with a
short abstract.  At the present time, only software which will run
on IBM-compatibles is available.  We hope to expand the service for
Macintoshes and Sun workstations in the near future.
 
Other materials, as they become available, will be in subdirectories
of /edu/math.
 
The moderator for this area of the site at wuarchive is Larry Husch,
Department of Mathematics, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN
37996. Email address: HUSCH@WUARCHIVE.WUSTL.EDU.  Contact Larry Husch
if there are any problems with the software you download.  If you are
unfamiliar with FTP and/or file compression programs and would like to
receive information on either downloading or uncompressing programs,
again contact Husch.  If you would like to submit program(s) and/or
other appropriate material then get in contact with Larry Husch for
details.  Similarly, if you have any suggestions of material for
inclusion or about this area of the site, send them to Larry Husch.
 
If you would like to be informed about new additions to the archives,
again contact Larry Husch to be placed on a mailing list.
 
General questions about the archives should be directed to
                 ARCHIVES@WUGATE.WUSTL.EDU
