Some Traditional Mathematical Knowledge Management
نویسنده
چکیده
What is mathematical knowledge and how can it be managed? There are not only differing views around on the management aspect but there is no real clarity or consensus on what mathematical knowledge is; indeed there are questions as to what knowledge is and what mathematics is. For the sake of definiteness I will adopt a particular stance from which to work, namely that aspect of organizing the knowledge of mathematics represented by Mathematical Reviews, for which I have worked since 1980. From that platform we can explore and speculate both historically and prospectively. Some new results of bibliometric and other machine-enabled examination of the mathematical literature will also be discussed.

INTRODUCTION Mathematical knowledge is significantly different from other kinds of knowledge. It is abstract, universal, highly structured, extraordinarily interconnected, and of immense size. Managing it is difficult and requires special techniques and tools. Mathematicians have developed (over the last two or three millennia) many techniques for managing mathematical knowledge. For example, t...

متن کاملMathematical Knowledge Management: Transcending the One-Brain-Barrier with Theory Graphs
We present the emerging discipline of Mathematical Knowledge Management (MKM), which studies the possibility of computer-supporting and even automating the representation, cataloguing, retrieval, refactoring, plausibilization, change propagation and in some cases even application of mathematical knowledge. We focus on theory graph technology here, which supports modular and thus space-efficient...
