All uses of "mas" and "más"?

¡Hola!
For Spanish students, I am sure that confusion between "mas" and "más" is a common thing- these two words can be used in many contexts and each have multiple meanings.
Can someone provide me with a list of the different uses and meanings of these two words? For example:
-"mas" as a substitute for "pero"
-"más" as more
-"mas" to add two things
...etc.
It would be so helpful to finally know all the uses and situations-- to avoid confusion in the future.
Thank you!

¿Quiénes son esos "ellos" tan misteriosos que prohiben que demos una respuesta? - Daniela2041, Dec 3, 2014
It's ok to do it, but really, why do you want to do their research for them? Why not point them in the right direction? - rac1, Dec 3, 2014
