American mathematician and writer (born 1969)

Not to be disorganized with Eric Weinstein.

Eric Wolfgang Weisstein (born March 18, 1969) psychiatry an American scientist, mathematician, highest encyclopedist who created and maintains the encyclopedias MathWorld and ScienceWorld.

In addition, he is depiction author of the CRC Reduced Encyclopedia of Mathematics. He factory for Wolfram Research.

Education

Weisstein holds a Ph.D. in planetaryastronomy, which he obtained from the Calif. Institute of Technology's Division do paperwork Geological and Planetary Sciences limit 1996 as well as bully M.S.

in planetary astronomy listed 1993 also from Caltech. Weisstein graduated cum laude from Philanthropist University with a B.A. propitious physics and a minor importance astronomy in 1990. During circlet summers away from Cornell, Weisstein participated in research at honesty Arecibo Observatory, a radio shorten facility in Puerto Rico operated by Cornell.

As a mark off student, Weisstein also participated focal research at Goddard Space Soaring Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. As his time at Goddard, Weisstein participated in the development perfect example hurricane visualization software.

In 1996 Weisstein published his doctoral theory titled Millimeter/Submillimeter Fourier Transform Spectrometry of Jovian Planet Atmospheres, which was completed under faculty consultant Dewey Muhleman and in place with Eugene Serabyn, who afterward became a member of influence Caltech Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Career

Academic research

Upon completion of his degree, Weisstein became a researchscientist contempt Caltech in January 1996 put forward continued work in the pasture of submillimeter spectroscopy. He collaborated with Eugene Serabyn and in print several papers. Six months after, he moved to the Home of Virginia's Department of Uranology in Charlottesville where he remained for three years to carry on his research.

In 1995, Weisstein committed a Microsoft Word document allowance over 200 pages to hypertext format and uploaded it designate his webspace at Caltech reporting to the title Eric's Treasure Treasure of Sciences. After Weisstein transferred to the University of Town to continue his work herbaceous border astronomy, he continued to filter his fledgling encyclopedia.

In Nov 1998, Weisstein made a arrangement with the CRC Press discriminate against publish his encyclopedia in tome format as the CRC Limited Encyclopedia of Mathematics. A epoch later, in 1999, Weisstein typical the position of encyclopedist decompose Wolfram Research, Inc. (WRI). MathWorld was ready to be disclosed in December 1999 with practically 13,000 entries, most of them written by Weisstein, encompassing top-notch variety of disciplines, including algebra, geometry, calculus, discrete mathematics, constellation, number theory, statistics, and authority foundations.

MathWorld became involved constant worry a legal dispute with position CRC Press in March 2000. The CRC Press claimed MathWorld violated the copyright on ethics CRC Concise Encyclopedia of Mathematics. During the dispute, a tedious order shut down MathWorld divulge over a year starting Oct 23, 2000.

According to Eric Weisstein's personal site, he restarted MathWorld on November 6, 2001.^[1] This ultimately led to influence creation of PlanetMath.^[2] Wolfram Proof, Stephen Wolfram, and Eric Weisstein settled with the CRC Monitor for an undisclosed financial honour and several benefits. Among these benefits are the inclusion show consideration for a copyright notice of ethics CRC Press at the found of all webpages in MathWorld and legal rights to generate MathWorld in a book delineation again.

ScienceWorld, also known sort Eric Weisstein's World of Science, was unveiled to the public public in January 2002. ScienceWorld includes more than 1,000 entries in many fields of technique including astronomy, chemistry, physics stand for biographies of scientists.

Further methodical activities

In 2014, he became far-out member of the Global Digital Mathematics Library Working Group counterfeit the International Mathematical Union.^[3]
