The Worldwide Center of Mathematics: The Future of Math
The Worldwide Center of Mathematics was founded in 2008 by David B. Massey, an award-winning professor with 26 years of collegial teaching experience, and a leading research mathematician in the field of singularities. Our office is located in Cambridge, MA, one of the truly great hubs of mathematical research in the world, which gives us direct access to cutting-edge mathematics and mathematicians.

The purpose of the Center is to promote and disseminate mathematical knowledge at all levels to help increase the knowledge of the community as a whole. Some of the activities we currently offer include:

Video-textbooks: We believe that as students evolve, their textbooks should as well, and thus, we are committed to producing the first modern textbook. We produce our textbooks as PDFs because it allows us to hyperlink all of the cross-references in the books, put in pop-up margin comments, include interactive graphs, and embed these teaching videos at in each section that actually teach the student the content of that section. The PDF format also allows our textbooks to be completely portable, as the student can have it on his or her laptop, iPhone, iPad, Kindle, or any other device that supports PDFs. Our texts are written by award-winning professors, and are written to emphasize ideas and examples. The technical details (rigorous mathematics) are very important in our textbooks, but we place these details at the end of each chapter, where they do not interrupt the exposition. Even without all of the new features that we offer, we know that our written textbooks are superior to any others that currently exist.

Custom Video Lectures and Reviews: With two weeks notice, we can produce custom videos on all of the topics for which we offer course materials as well as many other topics of interest.

Research-Level Lectures: Multiple times per month we host live, research-level lectures by some of the world’s premiere mathematicians, which the public is invited to attend. High-quality videos of these lectures are available for viewing and download on the research portion of the site.

The Worldwide Journal of Singularities: We also produce an online-only, refereed journal of research in singularity theory.

In addition to these current offerings, in the future we plan to offer test-preparation materials, tutoring services, postdoctoral research positions, more Worldwide research journals, and we would like to host mathematical research conferences.
