Hi, Greg. I saw your comments at Mathematical analysis and thought I'd say hello. I think you're right -- the article could use some serious reorganization. Here – stop by this talk page to get acquainted with some of the math guys on Wikipedia.

Have a great day! DavidCBryant 01:18, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Books with multiple authors

I've been working on Concurrency (computer science) and realize that I have no idea how to use the citation template for a book when there are multiple co-authors. On that page, the second co-author of "Distributed Systems" should be Maarten van Steen, the first author is Andrew S. Tanenbaum.

Many of the templates have help if you go to the template page itself, in this case Template:Cite_book. You can see here there is a coauthors parameter. So you'd need something like
 {{ cite book
 | last = Tanenbaum
 | first = Andrew S.
 | coauthors = Van Steen, Maarten    
 | title = Distributed Systems: Principles and Paradigms
 | publisher = Prentice Hall
 | date = 2002
 | isbn = 0-13-088893-1
 }}
You can also see other things such as the authorlink item which could be used to add a link to Andrew S. Tanenbaum in this case. (authorlink = Andrew S. Tanenbaum)--pgk 22:08, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
