The School of Mathematics at the University of St Andrews has a database called MacTutor of ~4000 mathematicians, many of whom are not on Wikipedia. The purpose of this course is to use MacTutor, alongside other sources, to identify which of the mathematicians is notable enough to deserve a Wikipedia biographical article about them.
