+## MathML
+
+Seems like MathML and the ecosystem are actually pretty interesting. "Open
+Math" is similar to content MathML (eg, also XML), but designed for
+interchange. SBML has a relatively large academic community (looks like many
+student projects building simulators or old-style IDEs).
+
+A version 4 is being standardized: <https://mathml-refresh.github.io/>
+
+## Wikidata
+
+What equations/models/formulae are there already in wikidata?
+
+There is ["defining formula"](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P2534),
+which is an instance of a "mathematical expression", which enforces
+LaTeX-ish parse-ability and rendering with MathML. Currently about 4,500
+instances in wikidata (!).
+
+Alternatively there is [TeX string](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P1993).
+
+Eg, quadratic equation has LaTeX-y output: <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15909572>
+
+Wowa! SPARQL query to describe the components of ideal gas law:
+<https://query.wikidata.org/#%23Explain%20identifiers%20in%20ideal%20gas%20law%20%28wd%3AQ11432%29%0ASELECT%20%3Fidentifier%20%3FdescriptionLabel%20WHERE%20%7B%0Awd%3AQ11432%20p%3AP527%20%3Fstatement2.%0A%3Fstatement2%20ps%3AP527%20%3Fdescription.%0A%3Fstatement2%20pq%3AP2534%20%3Fidentifier.%20%0A%20%20SERVICE%20wikibase%3Alabel%20%7B%20bd%3AserviceParam%20wikibase%3Alanguage%20%22en%22.%20%7D%0A%7D>

+Rust `latex2mathml` crate, for presentation MathML. Has no depdendencies! Good
+to read.

+Rust sbml and mathml parser crates.

+
+libroadrunner is a C library for simulating SBML models. It wraps SUNDIALS and
+libSBML. There is a python wrapper.

+
+LibSBMLSim seems like a simple SBML model simulator.

+
+POPCORN is an alternative syntax for Open Math

+
+Biomodels is a database of SBML models. Here is one of influenza epidemic modeling:

+AsciiMath is a simple infix/C style notation. It can be transformed to MathML by MathJax.

+
+Have some specific projects and ideas to get started on:
+
+- encode the equations in hyperphysics
+- parse (input) latex math and mathml using rust
+- runtime to evolve/integrate systems, then visualize output
+
+Open questions:
+
+- encoding of functions, operators
+- atomic unit of symbols/variables. eg `R_0`, `R_t=0`, `R` confusion
+- "gradual typing" of units
+
+Other half-baked thoughts:
+
+- observable HQ demos
+- add equations/models to wikidata
+    => raw equation as mathml/latex?
+    => also 
+- scrape out latex/equations from wikipedia dumps
+- probably going to be dual rust/racket. I think that is ok?
+- those epidemic model interactive tools were really nice
