Mathematics Genealogy Project

The Mathematics Genealogy Project is an online database that tracks the academic lineage of mathematicians. It traces the relationships between scholars, detailing who studied under whom and where they earned their degrees. Essentially, it functions like a family tree for mathematicians, highlighting the connections between various researchers. This tool helps understand the influence of different mathematicians on one another and the evolution of mathematical ideas over time. It includes information on thousands of mathematicians, their doctoral advisors, and their contributions to the field.
