Organizing the Mathematical Literature

On the Road to MSC 2020 Edward Dunne Fabian Müller Norman Richert Olaf Teschke January 10, 2018 1

SLIDE 2 History and Aims of MSC
  • jointly produced by MR and zbMATH
  • dates back to 1940s, official revisions every decade starting from 1990
  • used by zbMATH and MR for internal workflow
  • libraries use it for classifying journals and books
  • search by area or keyword
  • filter search results
  • community driven

SLIDE 3 Is This Really Necessary? HITS tried Topic Modeling on zbMATH reviews using ToPMine. Results: some meaningful topic clusters in applied areas, useless for pure mathematics
  • Bayesian inference, posterior distribution, Gibbs sampler (62F15)
  • pull back, container loading (category theory vs. operations research)
  • hyperplane arrangement, traffic jam, speed of light (???)

SLIDE 5 How Much Change is Needed? Comparing human-awarded MSC codes zbMATH ← → MR: Level F1 1 0.83 2 0.72 3 0.58 = ⇒ no need for new top-level codes in MSC2020 (and few second-level ones). 5

SLIDE 6 Selected Highlights from Current Suggestions 14Q (Computational aspects in algebraic geometry):
  • Numerical algebraic geometry
18D (Categories with structure):
  • Higher categories
55U (Applied homological algebra and category theory):
  • Topological data analysis
62 (Statistics):
  • Algebraic Statistics
68 (Computer science):
  • Computer-assisted proofs
