Your edits at derivative

Hi. I left a message at talk:derivative. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 01:53, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How about making the variables italic, at derivative, that is,

''x'' or <math>x</math>

instead of plain x? And it would be good if you use edit summaries, they are helpful for other pople.

I strongly disagree with putting the main formulas and the full rigurous mathematical definition on top of an article. If you hang more around this place, you will understand why. People complain that math is hard, that mathematicians write only for themselves, that is, their articles are incomprihensible and scare away people who would like to learn.

Polarizer

It's common usage in optics to talk about the light "transmitted" through an optical element (as opposed to light incident on the element or reflected from it.) You're right, though, that this terminology might be confusing to a general audience. I reworded it. See if you think it's better.

The other things you mentioned are a style of presentation from scientific publishing. The idea is to punctuate the equations as if they were part of the sentence, rather than ending the paragraph before each equation with a colon. Thus, if an equation happens to fall at the end of a sentence, it gets a period. If it falls at the end of a phrase, it gets a comma. Depending on the sentence, no punctuation may be required. This is generally easier to read and understand, but I do admit that for some reason with Wikipedia's typography the commas and periods are somehow not as aesthetically appealing as they are in print. I'm not sure why that is. It may be that just more spacing is needed or something. Similarly, it is common in good scientific writing to introduce the variable that is given by the equation at the place where that quantity is first mentioned, i.e. before the equation appears.--Srleffler 04:20, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries

Would you mind using the edit summary field, it makes it a lot easier to see whats going on. Thanks! --Tawker 21:01, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes please, at all times. :) And using your account at all times is good too. More clarity helps others. :) Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 01:26, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I try! Fresheneesz 01:28, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Style tip

Yes, I bug you. :) One remark. One should not put links in section titles, they look ugly, and belong in the text only. Thanks. :) Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 20:03, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes it seems like it would be cumbersome to add the text needed to incorporate the link inside the text. But again, I'll try to compromise. Fresheneesz 22:35, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

August Müller

Thanks for redlinking August Müller in Contact lens. This is like a red rag to a bull to me, and I produced this, which was a DYK article earlier. I think an article on Eugene Kalt is in order, plus a sentence or so on him in the history section of contact lens. I'll get on to it when I get the time. I wasn't the editor who added the bit about Müller being the inventor of the first 'true' contacts to contact lens, but if I can find any more I will add to both the Müller and Contact lens articles.

Hey to you too

I saw your comment on my talk page. Well, I might be someone you know. What's your name? Anabanana459 16:37, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
