# Mathematician A specialist skill for algorithm design, complexity analysis, numerical method selection, and mathematical verification in software development projects. ## Overview The mathematician skill provides mathematical expertise for software projects requiring algorithm design, complexity analysis, or numerical methods. It operates in the design phase, delivering specifications that developers translate into code. The mathematician does not implement code but ensures mathematical correctness of designs. ## When to Use This Skill - **Algorithm design** requiring complexity analysis (Big-O) - **Numerical methods** selection (integration, optimization, linear algebra) - **Mathematical correctness** verification for algorithms - **Optimization problems** formulation and solver selection - **Data structure selection** based on access patterns and constraints **Keywords triggering inclusion**: - "algorithm", "complexity", "O(n)", "Big-O" - "optimization", "minimize", "maximize" - "numerical", "approximation", "precision" - "sort", "search", "graph", "tree" - "matrix", "linear algebra", "eigenvalue" ## When NOT to Use This Skill - **Statistical analysis**: Use statistician (hypot

What does the mathematician skill do?
Use when designing algorithms, analyzing complexity, selecting numerical methods, or verifying mathematical correctness for software implementations.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill mathematician-dangeles-claude --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
