The QED Project

Summary

The aim of the QED project is to build a single, distributed, computerized repository that rigorously represents all important, established mathematical knowledge. The construction of this system will be a scientific undertaking of significant proportions, requiring the cooperation of many mathematicians, computer scientists, research groups, research agencies, universities, and corporations. This system will have benefits for mathematics, science, technology, and education.

The QED Project is described in detail in the QED Manifesto, which is available in plain text and html.
