RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
This is the first newsletter since January, and, as before, the reason for this infrequency is lack of time. HMI have visited my school again in the last few days and pronounced "reasonable progress". They'll be back in the autumn for more. The subscription site at http://www.mathsnetgcse.com continues to be developed (now including exam questions from this summer's session), and the ASA2 site at http://www.mathsnet.net/asa2/2004/ has been updated too.
You may notice Google ads appearing on pages now. See "Future Expansion" for the reason why.
Ever thought of turning away from Internet Explorer to Firefox? You can download Firefox for free from http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ . It is highly recommended.


FUTURE EXPANSION

My ISP contacted me about two weeks ago to say that the site is so popular that they can no longer tolerate on my current deal the bandwidth it is using. I have to move to a "dedicated server". It's good to be popular but this move will require a large amount of money. Therefore, if it is to continue in its present form, MathsNet has to seek significant sponsorship. The Google ads are a small experimental step in that direction.
Could you be a sponsor or do you know any individual or business that might be interested? Detailed log stats for the site are available to convince anyone that there IS a large volume of traffic passing through.
Note also:
Some search engine ratings, June 2005. A search for "maths" puts MathsNet 2nd out of 6,170,000 at www.google.com, and 11th out of 3,042,000 at www.lycos.co.uk, . A search for "interactive geometry" puts MathsNet 4th out of 1,600,000 at www.google.com. A search for "geometric construction" puts MathsNet 3rd out of 1,980,000 at www.google.com and 2nd out of 29,300 at www.yahoo.com. A search for "A Level Mathematics" puts MathsNet 1st out of 1,710,000 at www.google.com
