Projects
My current main projects are:
| Supporting the genetic method, and the history of proof ideas | |
| Argument mapping and annotations for mathematical proofs |
Alpine Mathematics
Alpine is a little non-profit org whose main job right now is to host an online edition of PISE (the Proofscape Integrated Study Environment), called PISE Online.
Anyone can request hosting and indexing of Proofscape content repos at PISE Online. Curently, the repos of the Toeplitz Project are hosted there.
Nomadic Software, LLC
In contract work through Nomadic, I recently contributed a new library to the Adaptagrams project, which is a C++ library for constraint-based network layout. Adaptagrams is used in many projects, including Inkscape and the Dunnart layout editor:
