Talk:Spectral sequence

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] New To Advanced Math

Hi; I'm trying desperately to understand many of these advanced principals of mathematics, such as spectral sequence, but no matter how many times I review the material, it doesn't sink in. Could someone please provide examples, problems to solve (with their solutions) and/or ways to visualize this? beno 26 Jan 2006

I removed the attention template. The material is correct, and needs no more attention than a typical page. The fact that the subject is one that can be written about ad infinitum is not grounds for needing special attention. Most mathematics pages are like that.--192.35.35.36 14:18, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] filtrations section

The notation in the filtrations section is not clear (different objects named "A" in the first short exact sequence, for example). I will gladly correct if I can figure out the author's intention, although I'm just learning spectral sequences well for the first time. Kinser 01:48, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Accessibility

As far as allowing anyone not already professional in these matters to understand what is happening, some of the recent changes have had a negative effect. For example going straight to abelian categories doesn't help, and saying we are in a category of modules would be good enough. Removing the spreadsheet metaphor also takes away a prop to understanding. Charles Matthews 12:13, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Also I see the example is gone. Charles Matthews 12:16, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
