About
Citizen science (cf. Wikipedia entry) is one of several terms used to refer to research-related activities involving volunteers. This page facilitates the collection of observations about mathematical aspects of citizen science projects.
Examples of math in citizen science projects
- The Scribes of the Cairo Geniza project on Zooniverse has a math tag through which pages like this one can be found, which contains mathematical notation in the context of notes written in Arabic script
- The Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search is about finding Mersenne Prime numbers (Wikipedia)
- The Panamath project is about one's number sense (Wikipedia)
Discussions about math and citizen science
- MathOverflow: Can pure mathematics harness citizen science?
- YouTube channel NaturalMath has some videos on citizen science (overview)
- Pr∞fWiki: goal: "collection, collaboration and classification of mathematical proofs"
