[edit] The Roberts-Rose theorem

The Roberts-Rose theorem (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Article by a student about his "theorem" that is little more than an application of basic algebra. I prod'ed it since it didn't seem to fit a speedy category--the prod was removed by the author with the explanation "New credible mathematical discovery". Non-notable subject made up in school one day. --Finngall talk 22:25, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Wow. I'm taking basic Algebra and I could have figured that out... Delete — no sources; original research; non-notable "theorem" made up in school one day. --Agüeybaná 22:30, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Wow-thank u for this, KEEP, all mathematical discoveries should be preserved —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.43.36.151 (talk • contribs)
    • Sure, as long as they have sources. --Agüeybaná 22:38, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
    • NO I agree it should be kept, and Agüeybaná maybe you could have done it yourself but the point is that you didn't and it sounds like you're a little jealous! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.43.36.151 (talk • contribs)
  • Delete Hooray for Mark and Adam. Mandsford 22:40, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Timothy Clemans
  • Delete account of non-notable rediscovery of simple algebraic identity. Gandalf61 22:48, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Hi, sorry I havn't meant to cause this controversy, just felt that this should have been made known. After all we are always striving to delve deeper into mathematics are we not? —Preceding unsigned comment added by MarkRoberts127 (talk • contribs)
  • I love that not only was this made up in school one day, the article actually lists which school and which day. Question: Does this work for a=i (the sq rt of -1)? If not, I have to say delete. :) Deltopia 23:23, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
