mathgenealogy: Discover your (academic) ancestors!

[ gpl, program, web ] [ Propose Tags ]

A command line program for extracting data from the Mathematics Genealogy Project (http://genealogy.math.ndsu.nodak.edu/index.php).

Find your entry at http://genealogy.math.ndsu.nodak.edu/index.php and then use the URL as argument to mathgenealogy. For example, if Carl Gauss wanted to explore his academic ancestors, he would type

mathgenealogy http://genealogy.math.ndsu.nodak.edu/id.php?id=18231

which produces the directed acyclic graph http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22490968/genealogy_of_gauss.png. See

mathgenealogy --help

for details. Requires GraphViz to run.

Changes in 1.0.0: * updated for GHC 7.6.1 * choice between PDF and PNG output * optional inclusion of PhD theses in output Changes in 0.1.0:

  • fixed bug regarding trailing commas (thanks to A. Koessler)
