Organic mathematics: then and now Veselin Jungic In the early 1990's a group of researchers affiliated with the Center for Experimental and Constructive Mathematics at Simon Fraser University started the "Organic Mathematics Project". One of the main goals of the project was to use the available technologies to create an environment described as follows. "A mathematician working in ideal conditions would be able to look at a fresh problem and easily access any related material, find all the work on simpler but similar problems, and quickly carry out any sub-computations needed for the solution of the fresh problem. Such a person also would be able to consult freely not only with colleagues, but with experts with whom they were not previously familiar."
