A work in progress
- This site is a first step.
- Mathematical communication requires regular use of graphics -- diagrams, charts, graphs, geometric images, graphical annotations on symbolic expressions, special page layout -- and cannot depend on text alone. Keeping it fully open-source, so that others can improve the articles we write, means making it easy for others to create and edit the graphics, too. We are researching tools to make this possible, but do not yet have them.
