1 Welcome to the Manifold Atlas Project:
- a scientific Wiki and
- an on-line journal, the Bulletin of the Manifold Atlas

The Manifold Atlas has six chapters:

• Manifolds: with pages about constructions and examples of manifolds as well as their invariants and properties.
• Theory: with pages summarising useful general facts and theorems.
• Problems: with pages listing persistent and deep open problems, their status and their history.
• History: with pages about the history of the study of manifolds.
• Philosophy: with pages on the philosophy of mathematics as it relates to manifolds.
• Questions: with pages containing questions and answers about any aspect of the study of manifolds.

You will find the pages listed alphabetically by clicking each chapter.

Atlas pages offer a workspace for collaboratively organising and creating knowledge about manifolds.

Mature pages are refereed by the editorial board: if approved they are published in the BoMA.
