Mathematical Expressions (ME) and words are carefully bonded in technical writing to characterize physical concepts and their interactions quantitatively, and qualitatively. This paper proposes the Qualitative-Quantitative (QuQn) map as an abstraction of scientific papers to depict the dependency among MEs and their most related adjacent words. QuQn map aims to offer a succinct representation of the reasoning logic flow in a paper. Various filters can be applied to a QuQn map to reduce redundant/indirect links, control the display of problem settings (simple ME variables with declaration), and prune nodes with specific topological properties such as the largest connected subgraph. We developed a visualization tool prototype to support interactive browsing of the technical contents at different granularities of detail.
