The site, in 2002
A database that traces mathematicians back through their doctoral advisors and students.
It began because founder Harry Coonce wanted to know who his advisor's advisor was. By September 2025 it held 334,029 mathematical scientists, and it lists Newton and Lagrange even though they had no doctorates.
In 2002: Mankato stopped supporting it that autumn, and the project moved to North Dakota State University.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
