Incubating Mathematical Databases
Presenter
July 7, 2025
Abstract
I will speak about two new projects, one of which is gathering momentum after starting at the end of 2023 and the other is still in the design stage. MathBases is a website with a twofold mission: to provide an index of existing mathematical databases (it currently lists 116 but more will be added by the time you read this) and to provide a suite of tutorials, templates and expository articles to facilitate the creation of new databases. The Diophatine Library will be a website where users can browse families of Diophantine equations or search for a specific equation, accessing structural information, lists of solutions, heuristic and proven results on numbers of solutions, references, and code in computer algebra and formal systems for searching for and certifying solutions. Both of these projects are open source and welcome new contributors.
