Answer to "Editor" Question
This answer cannot be correct. If we consider the situation when a is infinitely high (where a represents the average number of pages required to attract an editor), then the number of editors should be very low due to the low attraction rate. However, the formula suggested in this answer would lead to the number of editors being infinitely high - clearly incorrect.

Perhaps a better solution in this case would be to follow through the formula with n = p/a. I don't think the question is worded clearly enough for a student to follow. Qwam (talk) 14:14, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Quite right - thanks for pointing this out. I've corrected it as you suggested. Hopefully it's right this time. If not, then feel free to correct (or even reword) it yourself - that's what wikis are all about! --15:57, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

As an existing Advancing physics student, The "editor" question is still very difficult and requires knowledge not in the specification and indeed not even in most mathematics specifications until the very end, Differential Equations. Having seen a few before, I can see what has been done, but to many they will be a brand new subject. Perhaps a Maths useful for physics sections should be added to the wikibook to include things that are not done yet and to aid those taking advancing physics but not taking maths. ekul81 (talk)
