Introduction

History
     MATHguide's history is a short one. The Internet has been sharply booming since the 90's and on August 10th, 1999, the domain name mathguide.com was purchased through InterNic.

     The site continues to undergo development. MATHguide has added numerous pages, some of which are dynamically geared to help those who are in the process of learning mathematics.

Goals
     MATHguide's goals are to help students, parents, educators and community members as they pursue mathematics education; to provide exciting new methods, a growing source of mathematical information and a forum for learning mathematics; to allow people to purchase the unique materials that we create.

Affiliation
     MATHguide is owned and managed by a high school administrator, Mark Karadimos. He works in a rich educational environment and has collegues who are extremely supportive. If you are interested in MATHguide and would like to contribute to its growth, contact MATHguide by CLICKING HERE.
