These pages are terribly outdated and many of the links defunct. I'm in the process of recreating them, but no ETA when ShepWeb will be reborn.

Scientific Resources

I used to be somewhat ashamed at how thrown together and disorganized this page is. However, Fred Jensen found a real jewel in here that some of the other search engines (Lycos included) didn't reveal. He claimed it

"A treasure trove of really obscure and not-so-obscure mathematical delights"
   — Fred Jensen
Which really made my day.

Disclaimer

I feel somewhat ashamed at how rough and thrown together this page is. The most organized sections are the Newsgroups and FAQs. For the other sections, I used some search engines and just grabbed any URL that came up. I haven't tested many of them so they may or may not reveal any useful information once you delve deeper.
