"Shuttered Math Site Reopens" by Mitch Leslie. Science, 16 November, 2001, page 1423.

The popular math website MathWorld (mathworld.wolfram.com) is back on line. It had been taken down more than a year ago because of a lawsuit filed by CRC. According to the article, "the site treats everything mathematical from the abc conjecture to Zorn's lemma, with over 10,000 entries and links to references." There is also information about the lawsuit and its settlement at the site.
