Article title

Since this article is about a particular group or philosophy, I think the title should be Computer Based Math (ie capitals). If it were about the general topic of mathematics based on computers, then it shoulsd probably be Computer-based mathematics (ie hyphenated, and with the abbreviation expanded).

Notability

There seems rather little in the way of information from independent reliable sources. Deltahedron (talk) 19:10, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Scope

It seems to me that the article is essentially about the organisation Computer-Based Math, founded by Conrad Wolfram in 2010 to promote his ideas about computers in mathematical education. There seems to be no single philosophy "computer-based mathematics" about which there are any reliable sources on which an article could be based, and it seems misleading to suggest otherwise. The article might usefully note that the organisation promotes the use of Wolfram Research products such as Mathematica, that its website is registered to Wolfram Research, and that its name Computer-Based Math is claimed to be a trade-mark.
