Resources For Students And Academics
- UCI Machine Learning Repository: Real data that anyone can use.
- ABE Books: Good for international editions of some math books, which are much cheaper than the average bookstore
- SpringerLink: Contains full books for participating institutions. Many good mathematical textbooks can be found here, as well as those on biology, social science, computer science, and physics.
- Lead2Amazon: Get a BiBTeX entry for that book you're referring to in your paper without having to type! Yay!
Other Interesting Sites
- University of Ottawa: This is where I got my B.Sc. Honours Mathematics degree.

Open Source (Linux)
- Ubuntu: My operating system of choice.
- Fluxbox: The window manager I use for Linux. Everything I want and nothing I don't!
- BashFAQ: This is a very useful set of tips for Bash
- DownThemAll: An extremely handy Firefox extension that allows you to download mutliple files with a single click or small set of clicks. It's great for downloading course notes, for instance.
- Inkscape: An awesome drawing program that is intuitive to use, and has advanced features like manual font kerning. I used this program to design the graphics for jpolak.org.
- Valgrind: A memory-leak detector for C and C++ programs. This is the tool to use to detect those memory leaks in large programs.
- GCC: The GNU Compiler Collection. This is a more behind-the-scenes type program but it deserves a mention, seeing as I use it for all my projects and it does a wonderful job
- R: What I use for statistics and other random (haha) computations
- EncFS: An encrypted filesystem using FUSE. Perfect for quickly encrypting content, as long as you don't mind leaving evidence that something is encrypted
- Claws Mail: The email client I use. Claws has external editor support, and there is also a Windows Port (never tried the port)
- Vim: The ultimate text editor, better than emacs ;)
- Octave: A fairly good open source Matlab replacement.
- Inkscape: For drawing vector art.
- git: A quick version control system with easy branching.
- AdBlock Plus: Get rid of internet advertisements.
