- Synopsis
- Discover your (academic) ancestors!
- Description
A simple command line program for extracting data from the Mathematics Genealogy Project (http://genealogy.math.ndsu.nodak.edu/index.php).
Lookup your entry at http://genealogy.math.ndsu.nodak.edu/index.php and then use that URL as a command line argument. 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 more options. Requires GraphViz (in particular the dot program) to run.
