'''Math Overflow''' is an [[interactive]] [[mathematics]] [[website]], which serves both as a [[collaborative blog]] and an [[online community]] of [[mathematician]]s. It allows users to ask questions, submit answers, and rate both, all while getting [[brownie points]] for their activities. It is modeled after [[Stack Overflow]], a similar forum for computer programming questions, and uses the [[Stack Overflow#StackExchange|StackExchange]] software engine.
It is primarily for asking questions on mathematics research – i.e. related to unsolved problems and the extension of knowledge of mathematics into areas that are not yet know – and does not welcome requests from non-mathematicians for instruction, for example homework exercises. It does welcome various questions on other topics that might normally be discussed among mathematicians, for example about publishing, refereeing, getting tenure, etc. It is generally inhospitable to questions perceived as tententious or argumentative.
