## AI overview

The article discusses code4math, an effort to advance mathematical research by building software infrastructure such as packages and databases of mathematical objects. It highlights Mathbases and the House of Graphs database, which supports graph searches by drawing and provides relevant statistics for records.

## Source excerpt

Steven Clontz informed me of an effort he's involved in called code4math. It's described as a professional organization for the advancement of mathematical research through building non-research software infrastructure. By that he means, for example, writing software packages like Macaulay2 or databases of mathematical objects that other researchers can use to do their research. Clontz recently gave a talk on the topic, with ample discussion of the evaluation material they can provide to justify the academic value of this sort of work.
