I built a book of the mathematics behind the world

Description and use

A static website hosts mathematical plates with formulas, explanations, author attribution, and runnable Julia code, plus a public ledger of open problems and solutions via GitHub.

Problem

Provide a curated, reproducible collection of advanced mathematics with attribution and machine‑verified results.

Outcome

A fully static, reproducible mathematics book that credits originators, allows machine reruns, and maintains a transparent public ledger of open problems and solutions.

Workflow

• Design plates with formula, explanation, and originator card
• Implement Julia scripts for each plate’s computation
• Host static site on Vercel, repository on GitHub
• Use GitHub issues to submit solutions, merging into ledger after PR approval
• Provide rerun commands for reproducibility
• Offer additional tools: bookplate generator, audio conversion, discussion box

Evidence

Each plate carries the formula, a rigorous reading, and the intuition in plain words, and beneath them a small card for every person who got it there.

Source

Nine julia machines run the moving parts on the page; galaxy rotation, the figure eight orbit, jeans mass, eddington luminosity, the schechter function, phyllotaxis, lorenz, the hubble tension, and the cube group order.

Source

Each machine ships with the command that reruns it, so nothing on the page is a picture of a result nobody can reproduce.

Submitting composes a prefilled github issue, because there is no backend here and i did not want one.
