How this grows
This is the widest, shallowest layer: the official U.S. list of what can be studied, what work it leads to, and what that work draws on. Next come the courses that teach each field, drawn from the outlines states publish so colleges can transfer credit. Then the concepts inside those courses, and the open questions at the edge of each field, like the ones on the Problem Atlas.
