Nice biology links, they have been added. And I will now have quality ebooks for my TI-89 titanium :thumbsup: Thanks goes to the moderators, now I don't have to search for this thread!
 
Just thought I'd bump this with a tip:

On google, if you need to do a conversion, type something like:

45.67 miles = ? cm

And, it'll do the conversion for you. No need for a special website.

And along with that, google features
 
Cannot believe nobody has mentioned Dogpile.com yet. :Q

Why limit yourself to just Google, Yahoo, Ask, or many others, when you can use a Metasearch engine like Dogplie to use them all at once?

It's even smarter than that. You can just type

45.67 miles in cm

and it'll give you the right answer.

It also knows a lot of physical constants. Try typing in:

(mass of electron) * c^2 in MeV

It'll give you the rest mass of an electron

Of course you could just type in

mass of electron in MeV/c^2

to get the same thing. Actually, google calculator does a lot of cool physics stuff. I use it in the lab all the time.

This is an *amazing* reference of thermophysical properties of chemicals. It has data compiled from the research of different scientists, as well as references. For example, it will tell you the heat capacity of a liquid and then the range of temperatures it was tested at, and then the names of the researchers and when they tested it.

I used it in one of my classes to find things like:
Boiling temperature
Heat of vap at boiling
Antoine's constants
critical temp/pressure/volume
etc
 
Nice list. Most of the sites I have in my favorites are too specialized, but I'll have a look later to see whether I have some decent ones too still.
