• Wolfram Alpha can help with many elementary but tedious computations. E.g., type in "Matrix" for information on matrix operations it can perform.
  
• Paul's Online Math Notes are a good, extensive resource for calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations.
  
• Khan Academy has excellent, short video lessons on mathematics at all levels.
  
• eprint.iacr.org has preprints of papers in cryptography, going back many years.
  
• Arts and Letters Daily is a pretty cool website.

Here's something I wrote in undergrad about some group theory thing.
Orders for Which There Are Exactly Two Groups. (PDF)
The LaTeX source file. (.txt)

And that's all she wrote.
