Talk:Cancellation property

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I wouldn't worry about slight overlap between articles, provided it's only slight. -- The Anome 02:36, 27 Feb 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Simpler explanation of 'cancel'?

This article may be a bit difficult for a non-mathematician to understand. Perhaps it would be good to either

  • add a short introduction (what does 'cancel' mean in mathematics, plus easy example like \frac{ab}{ac}=\frac{b}{c} a,b,c real and nonzero), or
  • use this information to create a separate 'easy' article about canellation?

I added a link here from derivative, and there is a risk that non-mathematicians will follow that link. --Erik 18:53, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
