NuMathWiki beta

NuMathWiki is a wiki created for the purpose of facilitating communication, collaboration and self-study by mathematicians of mathematics at the research level. At its heart it functions just like any other wiki: users create and edit pages (also referred to as articles) about topics of interest. However, NuMathWiki has been customized and optimized in several ways for use by mathematicians to create mathematics-related content.

• The wiki is MathJax-enabled, for easy LaTeX-style formatting of equations and other mathematical content (example: ).
• The wiki supports collapsible blocks (example: ).
• The wiki supports the creation of two kinds of pages, public pages and private pages:
  • Private pages consist of all the pages created inside a registered user's namespace. For example, if Joe Mathematician registered a user named joe314, all pages with a page id that looks like “people:joe314:[pagename]” will be private pages owned by Joe.
  • A private page by default can only be accessed by the user who owns it. The page owner also has the ability to customize permissions for the page by allowing specific users, or all users, to view the page and/or edit it.
  • All pages that are not private are public pages, and can be accessed and edited by anyone (including unregistered users) just like in a typical wiki site.
  • The people page, the base page of user namespaces, contains a directory of those registered users who have set their user profile status to public. You too can customize your profile and make yourself visible to other site visitors.
