I love the idea, but I am concerned that if run by and for physicists, it will perpetuate the lack of rigor and &quot;shorthands&quot; physicists use to abuse mathematics [1]. I would propose an additional feature: that entries be highlighted in an additional way if they are mathematically false as written (or misleadingly overloaded, or just a huge abuse).<p>[1] e.g. the sum of natural numbers being -1&#x2F;12, perpetuated with reckless abandon in this video <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=w-I6XTVZXww" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=w-I6XTVZXww</a> to the dismay of mathematicians everywhere. I also have personal gripes with the way physicists use delta functions, and hear many physicists say (about some topic in mathematics), &quot;I don&#x27;t want to actually do the mathematics here, I just want to get intuition about it.&quot;

I wonder what a mashup between this equation store, OEIS, and Wolfram Alpha would look like.
