Editing MathWorld (section)

==History==
[[Eric W. Weisstein]], the creator of the site, was a [[physics]] and [[astronomy]] student who got into the habit of writing notes on his mathematical readings.  In 1995 he put his notes online and called it "Eric's Treasure Trove of Mathematics." It contained hundreds of pages/articles, covering a wide range of mathematical topics. The site became popular as an extensive single resource on mathematics on the web. In 1998, he made a contract with [[CRC Press]] and the contents of the site were published in print and [[CD-ROM]] form, titled ''CRC Concise Encyclopedia of Mathematics''. The free online version became only partially accessible to the public. In 1999 Weisstein went to work for Wolfram Research, Inc. (WRI), and WRI renamed the Math Treasure Trove to ''MathWorld'' and hosted it on the company's website{{Citation needed|date=April 2023}} without access restrictions.{{Citation needed|date=April 2023}}
