Have you read papers that you wanted to annotate? Or would you like to get the ideas from a community of readers who are reading the same thing you are?
“Fermat’s Library is a platform for illuminating academic papers. Just as Pierre de Fermat scribbled his famous last theorem in the margins, professional scientists, academics and citizen scientists can annotate equations, figures and ideas and also write in the margins. Every week we send you a new paper annotated by the community.”
Here are a few of their papers:
The Usefulness of Useless Knowledge
Abraham Flexner – 14 comments
Ethereum: A Next-Generation Smart Contract and Decentralized Application Platform
Vitalik Buterin – 14 comments
Proof Without Words: Pythagorean Runs
