The site, in 1999
An online mathematics encyclopedia, largely written by Eric W. Weisstein and sponsored by Wolfram Research.
It started in 1995 as a student's notes, called Eric's Treasure Trove of Mathematics. A 2000 contract dispute with CRC Press took it offline by court order until a settlement in 2001, and the gap led to the PlanetMath project.
In 1999: Weisstein joined Wolfram Research, which renamed his Treasure Trove MathWorld and put it online without restrictions.
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 Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 1999 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 1999, then plays a short scene. Want MathWorld in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
