Howdy. I also thought I'd pop by to say hi and welcome (and luckily the tireless Angela has already put in the "hello" boilerplate, so I don't have to). No, we don't have an automated welcome system, but she's so fast that I'm beginning to think she might be a python script :) I read your Abstract structure article - it's very good (although it made my teensy brain hurt a bit), and it's nice to see a new wikipedian produce an article with all the markup right and the links valid. If you're at a loss for something to do, pop by Wikipedia:Cleanup - there's always some scary math page needing fixed. If nothing else, you'll see how bad a page can be :) ttfn Finlay McWalter 03:21, 8 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Hi Gandalf. Nice rewrite on Fractal, much more readable now. Chopchopwhitey 16:32, 17 Apr 2004 (UTC)


Continued fractions

Thanks! I am glad you liked my extra sections, and it was kind of you to say so.

Now I think someone needs to write an article about continuants and their relation to continued fractions. -- Dominus 13:53, 19 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gandlaf, I see a scintifc publication as such that are part of the academic work. An important publication should be one that contirbuted to science. See List of publications in computer science to see the kind of publications I talking about.

I removed the publications due to that reason. I'm aware that the importance of publication is very subjective. We can open a new category of popular popular writing or educational books. These publications will fit into these categories. APH 07:49, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I agree with you. I should have discussed their removal first. Sorry - I'll remember it in the future. APH 10:34, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)


I'm not sure that

  • Euclid and his Modern Rivals by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson a.k.a. Lewis Carroll

should be in the list. I didn't read it so I have a problem judging it but according to the article content it doesn't seem to be too important. APH 11:44, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)
