Talk:Fourth power

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Expanded and removed prod tag

I've expanded the article, improved its formatting, added links to OEIS and MathWorld, and recategorised it. I think it now deserves to be kept, so I've removed the prod tag. One further comment - the prod tag comment said there are no articles on second powers or third powers - in fact, there are; they are called square number and cube (arithmetic).

This is certainly an improvement; but compare to Square number or even cube (arithmetic). Is there notable content here? Maybe the reference to Waring's problem, but that's in that article. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 03:04, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

I have always thought there was some flexibility with the number articles; so long as the powers don't expand beyond 4, it doesn't seem worse to me (personally) if they stop at 4 rather than 3. When I put the prod, I didn't realize there were articles for 2 and 3. CMummert 03:36, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
