The MathResource Dictionary was written by Jonathan Borwein and Ephraim Borowski. The database of math terms, definitions and images was originally written and published as the Collins Dictionary of Mathematics. Jon and Eph maintained the electronic rights to the dictionary which they ceded to MathResources in 1995. Through this series of adventures MathResources is licensing The MathResource to the MathDL.
