                    Math searching

                    Reading time: 1min

                    Embedding math in a web page using MathML also makes it possible for web searches to include the mathematics on pages, not just text. Someday, a population biologist might be able to do a Google search for pages containing partial differential equations similar to ones he believes describe the predator-prey relationship between caribou and wolves in Alberta. One of the hits could be an astrophysicist's paper where she has actually solved the equations. Design Science received an NSF grant to hold a math searching workshop at which interested parties discussed the requirements for math searching technology.
