Talk:Modular Arithmetic

Book Outline
There is just an outline of the book for now. James Crook and I are creating it. We will continually add more. Feedback is appreciated. Shrig94 (talk) 20:03, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Exercises
A note that if we include any contest problems we need to be 100% sure we are not in copyvio and provide a link to show that that is so. Most likely we will need to make up new problems ourselves. JamesCrook (talk) 21:55, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia Imports
We could ask for a number of wikipedia pages to be imported to seed the book. We might cut out a great deal, but even having the LaTeX for formulas will save us time. I would suggest Quadratic reciprocity would be a good one to ask for. Let's put a list here on this talk page and review it before asking. JamesCrook (talk) 22:50, 14 November 2010 (UTC)


 * So for all Wikipedia imports is there a procedure to copying the content? --Unsigned contrib by 70.5.54.97 (User:Shrig94?), 25th Nov 2010


 * Yes. We ask at Requests for import, an admin 'transwikis' them, which gives the full page, the page history and any talk page and its history now in wikikibooks, e.g Transwiki:Quadratic reciprocity.  Once in wikibooks I can move/rename these to the pages that we want - which is what I did for some trigonometry pages that appear on the requests for import page.  We should build and discuss a list before making any requests.
 * For small extracts from pages it is OK to cut and paste, but we need to give a reference/credit to the wikipedia page in that case. JamesCrook (talk) 11:26, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
