[edit] Extensive TeXification, etc

Hi. Thank you for your contributions. And just a few notes about style. First, putting too much TeX and replacing HTML with TeX is not always a good idea. Per the math style manual, inline formulas better be left as HTML, so ''x''<sup>2</sup> or <math>x^2</math> are better than <math>x^2\,</math>.

Also, and more importantly, if there is a formula at the end of sentence, one should put a period (.) at the end of that formula, it signifies that the sentence is over.

These are small things, but I thought I'd let you know. You can reply here if you have comments. Thanks. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 15:55, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

And one should not put links in section headings, so
== Logic/Model theory definition ==
should be
 == Logic/Model theory definition ==

[edit] Links

Not sure I understood all of it, but it all sounds fine. WP:EL is the relevant guideline. Good luck. - crz crztalk 22:39, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I noticed you had added a link to milstd.net. That site has been systematically spamming Wikipedia using what I suspect are open proxies. I know you're not a spammer, but I thought you'd want to know. Perhaps there's another, more Wikipedia-friendly site you could use. Thanks, --A. B. (talk) 15:42, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
PS Thanks for all your work on electronics-related articles.

[edit] Messy and illegible notation

I think this edit is unfortuanate. You wrote:

p(x)K[x],

rather than either

p(x)\in\mathbf{K}[x],

or perhaps

p(x)K[x]

(with suitable spacing).

Moreover, as I think Oleg Alexandrov already pointed out to you, although "displayed" TeX looks very good on Wikipedia, "inline" TeX often looks terrible. Michael Hardy 21:57, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello, and first of all thank you for your advices. Regarding the notation for the vector space of polynomials (which is also a ring and thus an algebra) common practice requires
p(x)\in\mathbb{K}[x],
but as you (and Oleg) already pointed out "inline" TeX looks very often bad, so I tried (unsuccesfully) to arrange an inline notation giving the same flavor of the standard. I think that a solution could be to give the same information on the same line of the formula below, to enhance clarity and aesthetics: please check. :) Daniele.tampieri 22:56, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: \scriptstyle

Question about \scriptstyle use discipline in mathematical typing.

I replied on my talk page. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 20:07, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] BV functions

Hi. I see you did expand quite a bit the bounded variation article. If you would like to write more on BV functions in n-dimensions, note the following article on PlanetMath: BV function. That stuff can be copied legally to Wikipedia (see our WP:PMEX project), and we have a tool which can easily convert things to Wikipedia format (you would need the article id to use the tool, which you can see in the URL of that article, id=6969).

So, I wonder if you are interested in expanding bounded variation with that material. I can help along the way with formatting and stuff (I know about BV functions also, but not a whole lot). You can reply here in either case (I will keep this page on my watchlist). Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 02:45, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Oleg. Yes, I am interested in expanding Bounded variation with the article on PlanetMath BV function: as you can see I added an external link to that page some times ago. Of course, I would like to add more from other references (mainly from Giusti and Hudjaev and Vol'pert books, since they are "richer" both from the theory and applications point of view), and of course I would be glad if you decide to help me enriching this voice: recently I edited the Germ voice with Nbarth, and he helped me a lot showing me the deep sheaf theoretic aspect of the subject. Now I am at work, so I cannot show you the details of the plan of the voice that I have in mind, but later I'll write you something on your talk page. :) Daniele.tampieri 13:07, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Great. Thank you for your work on math articles. If you need anything, just let me know. I have bounded variation on my watchlist and I will keep an eye on what you are doing there. :) Cheers, Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 15:52, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Everyone interested can see the proposed voice layout and further discussion Daniele.tampieri 07:41, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

And also the talk page related to the voice has contains some information. Daniele.tampieri 16:25, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
