Talk:Mediant (mathematics)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are many other new findings and observations on the mediant, and the Generalized Mediant (Rational Mean) and its connection with arithmetical high-order root-solving algorithms and the Generalized Continued Fractions, as shown at: The Fifth Arithmetical Operation. The Rational Mean

This looks like a crackpot website to me, and in any case was poorly translated to English, and has few references but one book to back it up. Deepmath (talk) 05:39, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

I do not understand how some guys like this "Deepmath" dare to lie in such a pitifull way, I have read through the aforementioned webpage on new arithmetical methods and it clearly contains an options-menu with a link to: [1] where everybody can find plenty of references (books, articles, webpages, etc.) to back it up apart from the book you mentioned. On the other hand the only crackpot I can see here are your nonsense comments. I fully understood all the methods shown there, and they are certainly new, they use a new kind of generalized Mediant and the arithmonic mean. I have not seen any precedents of such a wonderful thing, and all of those methods converge to the value of the roots, moreover, they bring whatever convergence-rate you wanted, without any help of derivatives(infinitesimal calculus).

Deepmath, please, next time show some respect to the wikipedia audience.Missingdata1 (talk) 14:48, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
