Where to Find Site Information and Search on Wumbo

Updated

Wumbo's site information and search tools live in the "Site" section of the site. According to the site's own listing, that section contains three entries: About, Search, and Support. Use About to learn what the site is and who it's for, Search to jump straight to a topic, and Support if you want to contribute to the project.

What Wumbo Is

Wumbo (wumbo.net) describes itself as "a math reference site for students, teachers, and enthusiasts." It is organized as a reference rather than a course, so you look things up by concept or symbol instead of working through a sequence of lessons.

The site's own section list gives a clear picture of how the material is grouped:

Section What it holds
Concepts Core ideas
Examples Worked problems
Formulas Symbol recipes
Functions Input–output
Glossary A dictionary of terms
Notation Written syntax and grammar
Operators Process and operations
Symbols Glyphs and notation marks
Videos Moving pictures

Finding Site Information

The About page is the place to go for background on the site itself. It sits under the "Site" heading alongside Search and Support, so if you are already on the homepage, look for that grouping rather than a separate top-level menu item.

The site also flags a few pages it considers good starting points, listed as "Pinned":

  • Signed Angle Between Two Vectors
  • 2D Right-Hand Rule
  • Radian Angle System

These are useful if you want a sense of the site's style before committing to a topic.

Using Search

Search is the fastest route when you already know the term you need — a function name, a symbol, or a concept. Because the site separates Symbols, Notation, and Operators into distinct sections, searching for a specific glyph or operator name is often more direct than browsing.

A practical approach:

  1. Start with Search if you have a specific term in mind.
  2. Fall back to the section list (Concepts, Formulas, Functions, etc.) when you only have a general area.
  3. Use the Glossary when you have the word but not the notation.

Support and Membership

The Support page explains how to contribute. The site states that if its math resources add value, you can join as a contributing member, and that support "directly funds the creation of future videos and resources." The listed action is BECOME A PATRON, which points to Patreon as the contribution channel.

Note that the site describes this as a voluntary contributing membership. Nothing in the available site information states that content is gated behind payment, so treat Support as an optional way to fund the project rather than a requirement for access.

Videos

Wumbo's video section is worth checking separately from the reference pages. The latest video, as listed on the site, covers the fundamentals of quaternions and demonstrates implementing a quaternion class in Python to animate and rotate a 3D model such as Earth. That gives you a sense of the level: conceptual explanation paired with working code.
