http://scitsc.wlv.ac.uk/university/scit/modules/mm2217/g.htm
Whereas many Greeks made decisive advances in geometry, as far as we know they only produced one algebraist, Diophantus of Alexandria (c 250 A.D.).The MacTutor History of Mathematics archive
http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/history/index.html
The archive contains the biographies of more than 1300 mathematicians. We have written some articles on the development of mathematical ideas cross-referenced to the biographies. There is a collection of more than 60 articles on Famous Curves which have been extensively studied by mathematicians, giving their history as well as pictures of the curves and various curves (evolutes, inverses, caustics etc.) which are associated with them. There are Chronologies showing the overlapping lives of the mathematicians in our archive.Algebra Homework Help at Algebra.Com

http://www.math.buffalo.edu/mad/00.INDEXmad.html
In Mathematics, more than any other field of study, have we heard proclamations and statements similar to, "The Negro is incapable of succeeding." Ancient and present achievements contradict such statements. One of the purposes of this website is to exhibit the inaccuracy of those proclamations by exhibiting the accomplishments of the peoples of Africa and the African Diaspora within the Mathematical Sciences.GoMath.com

http://it.stlawu.edu/~dmelvill/mesomath/
The purpose of this page is to provide a source of information on all aspects of Mesopotamian mathematics. We explain the origins of mathematics in Mesopotamia from the earliest tokens, through the development of Sumerian mathematics to the grand flowering in the Old Babylonian period, and on into the later periods of Mesopotamian history. We include some general surveys to get you oriented in each period, and some more detailed resources for those interested in specific aspects of this fascinating episode in history.Famous Problems in the History of Mathematics

http://tqjunior.thinkquest.org/4116/History/history.htm?tqskip=1
Math started around 2,000 B.C. We examine those great mathematicians who developed key concepts such as algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus. You will find names like Euclid, Pascal, Newton, and Gauss in your textbooks. Most of these mathematicians were scientists too. You will enjoy reading these pages as we walk you through the history of math.Midieval History of Math
