AI Thread Summary
Research papers in mathematics are commonly referred to as papers or publications. While there is no single comprehensive catalog of all mathematical work, arXiv.org serves as a key resource for accessing preprints and historical documents from notable mathematicians. MathSciNet and zbMATH are also significant databases for journal publications, with zbMATH recently becoming open access. However, many papers remain behind paywalls due to copyright restrictions. Overall, arXiv offers extensive coverage of mathematics papers, making it a valuable tool for researchers.

TL;DR Summary
How do I search for math papers on web?
First of all, I want to know what research papers are called in Mathematicians' jargon.
Second, I want to know if there is a place on web where I can find all the work done in math by all the mathematicians. Thanks.

Research papers. Journal articles. Publications.

No. But arxiv.org has a lot of preprints which were later published. You can also find many historical documents: Newton, Gauß, Einstein, Noether, which have been scanned and published by some institutions.

To find a specific one you will need the original title. Wikipedia's list of references at the end of each article are a good starting point to search.

However, there is no catalog that lists all papers published ever, let alone find them at one place. There are still many papers which are protected by copyright so you will have to pay in order to get access.

arXiv has ~100% coverage for mathematics papers in several fields - everything that gets published is also uploaded there, often months before the publication. There are also many submissions that never become "full" publications. And everything is free to access.

Papers or publications.
 
If you are a student, your uni might have bought access to MathSciNet.

arXiv is indeed the standard for pre-prints.

For journal publications, MathSciNet (AMS) and zbMATH (EMS) are the standard resources. The latter has recently become open access. Neither contain a list of all journal publications of all times, but their coverage of past and present is very extensive.
 
Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'
Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...
Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'
Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
