Additional information

<07>An empirical investigation of online mathematical collaboration demonstrates the importance of 'soft' aspects such as analogy and creativity, alongside deduction and proof, in the production of mathematics, and provides evidence for viewing the production of mathematics as a social machine. The work is at the core of Martin's recently awarded EPSRC Established Career Fellowship (EP/K040251), in partnership with Facebook/Monoidics (Peter O'Hearn peter.ohearn@monoidics.com), IBM (Steve Legg splegg@uk.ibm.com), Microsoft (Byron Cook bycook@microsoft.com), two learned societies for mathematics, and the Industrial Mathematics KTN.
