One of the great – and oldest – resources for mathematics on the web is the\u00a0MacTutor History of Mathematics Archive<\/a>. \u00a0Before there was Wikipedia, there was MacTutor. \u00a0It was founded by two mathematicians,\u00a0John J. O’Connor<\/a> and Edmund F. Robertson<\/a>, both of whom are at the University of St. Andrews<\/a>. \u00a0 You can read the MacTutor\u00a0origin story\u00a0here<\/a>. \u00a0I have been a fan of the archive for almost twenty years. \u00a0So I am especially happy that there is now linking between the MacTutor archive and MathSciNet. \u00a0<\/p>\n

John O’Connor found\u00a01706 mathematicians with biographies in their archive who have author profiles in MathSciNet. \u00a0For 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\u00a0Author Profile page to the biography page at St. Andrews.<\/p>\n
