The Educational Times was a British journal published in the nineteenth century that addressed a wide variety of topics including a section in which readers can propose mathematical questions and submit answers to the questions that have been submitted. The mathematical questions and answers that appeared in the Educational Times were later extracted, reorganized (so that a question and its solutions are together), and published in a different journal entitled Mathematical Questions (MQ) with their solutions, from the "Educational Times"; we refer to this later journal as MQ. Jim Tattersall of Providence College, Rhode Island, USA then created a spreadsheet of the meta-data about these questions and answers. The meta-data in his spreadsheet includes for each mathematical question submitted to the Educational Times a single row that contains:

1) The question identifier (all the questions submitted have an assigned number in chronological order)
2) The name of the author proposing the question
3) The date and volume of the issue of the Education Times in which the question appears
4) The names of each solver of the question
5) The dates and volumes of Educational Times issues in which solvers of the question submit their solutions
6) The volumes in MQ where the question and solution to the problem is published
7) The question type (the category within mathematics that the question resides)

Additionaly, with the help of Dr. Sloan Despeaux and Mr. Robert Manzo, the data was cleaned up and extra information to these records have been found and provided. The intent for this website is to provide an online tool to search the meta-data contained in the spreadsheet that Jim Tattersall developed.
