Line 1:
'''MathOverflow''' is a [[mathematics]] [[[[Comparison of Q&A sites|question-and-answer (Q&A) website]]]], which serves as an [[online community]] of [[mathematician]]s. It allows users to ask questions, submit answers, and rate both, all while getting merit points for their activities. It is a part of the [[Stack Exchange Network]].
It is primarily for asking questions on mathematics research – i.e. related to [[List of unsolved problems in mathematics|unsolved problems]] and the extension of knowledge of mathematics into areas that are not yet known – and does not welcome requests from non-mathematicians for instruction, for example [[Homework|homework exercises]]. It does welcome various questions on other topics that might normally be discussed among mathematicians, for example about [[Academic publishing|publishing]], [[Peer review|refereeing]], [[Doctoral advisor|advising]], getting [[Tenure (academic)|tenure]], etc. It is generally inhospitable to questions perceived as tendentious or argumentative.
