About Math LairWhy did I call this site "Math Lair?" I don't remember exactly. When I created the site in 1999, I was quite interested in medieval stuff at the time (hence some of this site's decor, such as the dragon logo) but I don't remember exactly why I chose this name for the site. I wouldn't choose this name if I were naming the site now, but that's been the name of the site since 1999, so I feel I have to leave it like that.
Most content is related to number theory, logic, or recreational mathematics, although there are exceptions (you may find some science- and philosophy-related content that's only tangentially related to mathematics). For a list of all (or at least most) pages, see the table of contents.
The site is arranged into 10 sections:
For definitions of some mathematical terms, see my glossary (which is incomplete though).
If you have suggestions, corrections, questions, sites you think it would be useful for me to link to, either on one of my content pages or my math links page, or anything else, please contact me, either by e-mailing mathlair@allfunandgames.ca or through the Contact Me page.
I hope that this site is at least readable on all browsers. If any of the pages look horrible, please contact me to let me know. Note that I've rendered the headings in Goudy Medieval font. If you can use TrueType fonts on your computer, you may want to download it.
I've rendered exponents in various ways, depending on when I wrote
the page. My latest try is as follows, so "ten to the power of twenty"
is rendered as 10
20. There's a small image between the base and the exponent with
alternate text of "^". The intent is that it should render fairly
well even on browsers that don't support superscript.
