[edit] Equivalent to being small

From page. Charles Matthews 09:53, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)

This paragraph needs work: A theorem by Someone gives an equivalent condition on a set S to being small: Note--it's in Goldberg's (is that his name) silver book Methods of Real Analysis.

It was I who wrote that, and I've since checked Goldberg, and can't find the theorem. So I don't remember where I saw it. I'll try and find out the statement of the theorem. —msh210 17:52, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Actually it is in Goldberg, and this article now includes the theorem (due to Muntz-Szasz). —msh210 19:58, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] This page looks like it should be three separate articles

Unless someone can find a common abstraction unifying the three parts (say, are they all about ideals of sets? Probably not, but that would be the kind of thing to look for) then I think this article should be broken up into its constituent parts, and there should be a disambiguation page under this title. --Trovatore 19:11, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Done. —msh210 22:11, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Yes, good job with splitting. I also wondered about it a while ago.Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 22:19, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
