General Resources

These are some good investigatory links for students or anyone interested in further delving into mathematics:

Budapest Semesters in Mathematics is, in my opinion, the finest study abroad program in mathematics out there. If you're interested in mathematics or Hungary, or better yet both, it's definitely worth applying.
The Mathematical Association of America is a American professional-mathematician society, with an emphasis on the pedagogical, outreach, and training aspects of mathematics. They run a great many wonderful programs targetted at budding mathematicians from junior high school through junior faculty.
MathWorld is a pretty good encyclopediac reference. It's run by Wolfram, so it's kind of Mathematicaesque.
The Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences is an invaluable resource if you care even the slightest bit about lists of numbers. If you ever need to find a pattern for integers, or integers matching a pattern, this is your resource. It's got Catalan numbers. It's got numerators in the Taylor series of tan(x). It's got the number of strongly connected tournaments on n nodes. It's even got the lyrics to the Boards of Canada song "Aquarius".
The Art of Problem Solving is not only a wonderful book, but also a useful online resource for anyone, especially high-school students, interested in problem-solving. AoPS is also responsible for the San Diego Math Circle, which is a great opportunity for students in the San Diego area to learn and practice problem-solving skills.
