Pool Hall Lessons: Fast, Accurate Collision Detection Between Circles or Spheres
Jan 2002 - Miles Jackson, Joe van den Heuvel
Collision detection and response between spheres. Very good article as it goes into every detail of the collision detection needed for a pool game. The techniques are not limited to pool games though, e.g. they can easily be used in 3D shooters. Collision detection with swept spheres and ellipsoids

Improved Collision detection & Response
July, 2003 - Kasper Fauerby
This article shows how to do collision detection between an ellipse or swept sphere and triangles. Very good, even for beginners. Collision Detection and Response
Very good article that explains how to do collision detection between various 2D shapes. Uses interactive images to illustrate examples. Continuous Collision Detection for translating Ellipsoid
