Welcome to the Mathberet wiki for contributors! 👋

"What is Mathberet?"

Mathberet is an open-source digital mathematics notebook written in React and TypeScript, designed for math students who need a platform for graphing, sketching, and writing in $\LaTeX$. The goal here is to create a learning platform that allows students to write mathematical statements fluently and easily, in addition to sketching, graphing and arranging notes as freely as in a real-life notebook. We're also trying to keep the UI as clean and user-friendly as possible, allowing students to make the most out of their learning without thinking about the app itself. As a self-hosted application, Mathberet is both free and customizable, providing a reliable and efficient tool that works anywhere and anytime.


"Why open source?"

Great question! I, for one, think learning tools such as Mathberet should be freely available for everyone. Moreover, making Mathberet open source will allow people to contribute and extend Mathberet capabilities even further, improving it one commit at a time.


"What's with the name?"

Glad you asked. Mathberet is a portmanteau of "math" and the Hebrew word for "notebook" (מחברת/machberet).
