Links with the MacTutor History of Mathematics Archive

One of the great – and oldest – resources for mathematics on the web is the MacTutor History of Mathematics Archive.  Before there was Wikipedia, there was MacTutor.  It was founded by two mathematicians, John J. O’Connor and Edmund F. Robertson, both of whom are at the University of St. Andrews.   You can read the MacTutor origin story here.  I have been a fan of the archive for almost twenty years.  So I am especially happy that there is now linking between the MacTutor archive and MathSciNet.  

John O’Connor found 1706 mathematicians with biographies in their archive who have author profiles in MathSciNet.  For each of these mathematicians, they have inserted a link from their biography to our Author Profile Page. (It’s at the end of the biography, with the other links.) And reciprocally, we have a link from the MathSciNet Author Profile page to the biography page at St. Andrews.

Here are 37 examples:
