Category talk:Mathematics
Can we try to put as few things as possible in major categories? That way Category:Mathematics won't be gummed up with as many things that fit better in subcategories. In particular, if we can put something into a subcategory, we don't need to put it in Category:Mathematics as well.
The List of mathematical topics, with its sublists, are the fastest and probably most complete way to flesh out the Category:Mathematics structure, if there are those interested in helping to do so.
Mathematical and natural sciences/math and comp sci
I do not think it is reasonable to switcth to math and comp sci, but ok lets do it both Tosha 11:42, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Not in natural science
I removed this, becuase I think that it was added only to help force some "fundamental" categorization for the template:categorybrowsebar but if you check out that pages talk page, I gave a good reason for including Category:Abstraction in that, and changing "natural science" to "nature". Lastly, Mathematics is really not consideered a part of the natural sciences. —siroχo 03:58, Sep 7, 2004 (UTC)
Lamé's Special Quartic
The wikilink [[Lam%E9%27s Special Quartic]] looks ugly and goes to a page that says that there is no such article. I don't know how to fix this. - ReiVaX 19:46, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Also, a Google search for the phrase "special quartic" brings up 5 pages of results. None of the occurrences I saw were preceded by anything like "Lame's". I'm not much of a mathematician. Does "Lame's Special Quartic" even exist?
- Not only that, the article shows up as "Lam%E9%27s_Special_Quartic" (with no hyperlink!) in search results and even in at least one Category, although I can't remember which one and now can't I find it again! - dcljr 04:01, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Calculus/Algebra/Arithmetic
Why isn't there category of calculus? Integration seems lacking too. I'd make it if I was confident in my knowledge, but I'm not..
I think there should be a category of calculus, with differentiation ad integration under it. I think that arithmetic should be under algebra (it is now listed with algebra under mathematics).

No, my mistake. Thanks for the reply though. There is a category on Mathematical analysis, under which you can find Calculus.
Don't delete
Please don't arbitrarily delete the discussion on talk pages. If the page is getting extremely long, then you can justifiably archive old discussion (this page doesn't need it). See Wikipedia:Talk page#Standards and conventions of writing and layout. - dcljr 22:55, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)
