History of arXiv.org

Culture of sharing preprints

Repositories of hard copies

Development of LATEX based on TEX by Donald Knuth, 1978Plain text, not marked up

$$\int_0^\infty e^{-x^2}\, dx = \frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2}$$

produces ∫ ∞0

Papers went electronic, mid 80’sEmail boxes overrun ...Digital repositories - share abstracts, store papers on server
