Abstract

One of the main challenges faced by the academic community, science diffusion may be and is already potentialized by technologies attributed to the so-called web 2.0, among which, there is Wikipedia. This project has as goal to continue the process of intensification of the use of the on-line encyclopedia in the diffusion of contents related to Neuromathematics, focus of the NeuroMat Wikipedia Initiative. Another purpose is to understand the relation between numeracy in a country and the level of its inhabitants' contributions to the entries on the subject on the electronic encyclopedia. (AU)
