Sources of Mathematics Information

Most electronic sources for mathematics are just pointers to other sources - with inevitable repetition. The best sources either contain original information, or point to useful items that are not as well known. Preprint collections are among the most valued by others.

Look Here First

The American Mathematical Society AMS Home Page, probably the best starting point for finding mathematical resources.
EMS European Mathematical Information Service
Web MathSearch for mathematical topics or names.
