Imagine having a super-powered map that connects every important idea, tool, and discovery in mathematics — that’s what zbMATH, and its incorporated platforms such as swMATH, a specific portal for mathematical research software, do. These platforms are like the ultimate librarians of math research, gathering and organizing knowledge from academic papers, software, datasets, and even citation networks. But they don’t just collect information; they make it smarter.
