What is Functor Network?

Functor Network is a blog platform for mathematicians. The term “mathematician” here is used in a broad sense, encompassing people studying math at any level, as well as professionals in related fields. While we provide special support for mathematicians, anyone can register a blog site on our platform and express themselves on a variety of topics, whether they’re related to math or not. You can find our homepage at https://functor.network.

What is Functor Network born for?

Writing mathematical content online often leads to frustration. Mathematicians frequently encounter issues such as poor support for mathematical typesetting or technical difficulties in setting up a blog site. Functor Network is a blog platform specifically tailored for mathematicians. We offer features such as math typesetting, support for LaTeX packages, automatic numbering and referencing, and bibliography support, among others. All you need to do is focus on your content and leave everything else to us.

Which topics are suitable on Functor Network?

While our features are primarily designed for math content, you can write about almost anything you like, whether related to math or not. Examples include math notes, seminar announcements, hobbies, travel experiences, and more.

Who maintains Functor Network?

Currently, Functor Network is maintained voluntarily by Chun Ding, a PhD student in mathematics at Leiden University.
