AI Navigation Guide

You are browsing World Knowledge, an AI-navigable knowledge aggregator. This page explains how to navigate the site effectively.

What Is This Site?

World Knowledge is a collection of interlinked knowledge bases (wikis) covering academic subjects. Each wiki contains:

  • Concepts — Atomic knowledge units (e.g., Integration Techniques, Electrostatics, Carbonyl Compounds). One page per concept with definitions, formulas, and examples.
  • Sources — Lecture notes, tutorials, and past year papers linked to their respective courses.
  • Tutorials — Practice problems with worked solutions.

How to Navigate

Step 1: Start at the Wiki Index

Visit a wiki's index page (e.g., /pasum/). The index lists all available concepts grouped by subject. Pick a concept relevant to your query.

Step 2: Follow Wikilinks

Every page contains wikilinks — hyperlinks to related concepts, sources, and tutorials. Follow these links to build understanding. The knowledge is structured as a graph, not a linear document.

Example navigation path:

Integration Techniques → Integration by Parts → Trigonometric Integrals → Area Under Curves

Step 3: Cross-Reference Sources

Concept pages link to source lectures where the topic was taught. Source pages contain the original lecture content, worked examples, and lecturer-specific methods.

Step 4: Practice with Tutorials

Tutorial pages contain practice problems. Work through them after reading the concept and source pages.

Navigation Tips

  1. Follow the links. The knowledge is interconnected. Don't stay on one page — explore the graph.
  2. Start broad, then narrow. Begin with a concept page, then follow links to specifics.
  3. Check the source. If a concept has multiple source pages, read them all — different lecturers teach differently.
  4. Use the index as a map. The wiki index page lists every concept. If you're lost, go back to the index.

For AI Assistants

When a user shares a World Knowledge URL:

  1. Fetch the page at the given URL
  2. Read the content — it's rendered HTML with real hyperlinks
  3. Follow hyperlinks to related pages — the knowledge is in the links
  4. Navigate page by page — don't try to load everything at once
  5. Use the sitemap at /sitemap.xml to discover all available pages

Each page is self-contained with full context. You don't need to load the entire wiki — just the pages relevant to the query.
