MathWorld
MathWorld is an online mathematics reference work, created and largely written by Eric W. Weisstein. It is sponsored by and licensed to Wolfram Research, Inc. and was partially funded by the National Science Foundation's National Science Digital Library grant to the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign.
History
Eric W. Weisstein, the creator of th123e site, was a physics and astronomy student who got into the habit of writing notes on his mathematical readings. In 1995 he put his notes online and called it "Eric's Treasure Trove of Mathematics". It contained hundreds of pages/articles, covering a wide range of mathematical topics. The site became popular as an extensive single resource on mathematics on the web. Weisstein continuously improved the notes and accepted corrections and comments from online readers. In 1998, he made a contract with CRC Press and the contents of the site were published in print and CD-ROM, titled "CRC Concise Encyclopedia of Mathematics". The free online version became only partially accessible to the public. In 1999 Weisstein went to work for Wolfram Research, Inc. (WRI), and WRI renamed the Math Treasure Trove to MathWorld at http://mathworld.wolfram.com and hosted it on the company's website without access restrictions.

When I Die
by: MotherlodeWhen I die, I hope to be
A better man than you thought I'd be
It's been hard to make you see
What kind of man I'm trying to be
All I ask is for you to try to understand
What it means to me
It's not hard to understand why
You get discouraged all the time
I keep trying not to worry
But I can't help feeling lost in you
But I love you, want you and I need you
Time goes by and you'll find
That we'll achieve a love sublime
When I die I hope I'll be
The kind of man you thought I'd be
{Repeat Chorus}
'Cause I love you and I want you
'Cause I gotta, gotta have you
'Cause, 'cause I need you
When I die I hope I'll be
