Most of the world’s mathematicians fall into just 24 scientific
'families', one of which dates back to the fifteenth century. The

which aims to connect all mathematicians, living and dead, into family
trees on the basis of teacher–pupil lineages, in particular who an
individual's doctoral adviser was.
