Anyone care to nominate best online resources for various subjects vs. best books?

Amazon. :-)

More seriously, Wikipedia and Mathworld are both good for looking up particular mathematical details, but they're better used as entry points than as final answers. In fact, that's going to be true of any general source for any subject. The quest for knowledge begins with 100 web pages open on the desktop.
