Section 14.3 History

This is one of the best all around sites that I have found. It is titled "The MacTutor History of Mathematics Archive."

This is an award-winning site that links to all sorts of mathematics information.

This site, entitled "Matrices and Determinants," is listed here under the history subsection because of its excellent review of the history of solving systems of equations using matrices.
