 * Thanks for having me welcome! I currently don't have much time to introduce myself or anything really but I have some questions and hope it's okay to ask here.
 * Regarding e.g. the Mental Maths book it has a banner which reads "A Wikibookian believes this page should be split into smaller pages with a narrower subtopic."
 * This leads to two questions: First I wonder where this could be discussed as I honestly don't deem it necessary. It would only make sense to split for each operations type (i.e. addition, substraction, etc) but then some pages would be ridiculously short. Is there a way to comment on the banner or something like this?
 * Second: I like downloading the books and it is somewhat frustrating when a book is split into many pages because then I have to download each page. Some books are available in PDF format and as single-paged book. Is this something anyone can upload? Can you recommend a good way to compose single-sided versions? I would happily do it, then.
 * I did some minor contributions here and there (other Wikimedia projects) and hope that some day I'll find myself being more active but for now it will be minor edits only. Ja Siggi (discuss • contribs) 19:04, 12 April 2021 (UTC)


 * You could ask at Talk:Mental Math. However you may not get an answer as this a fairly quiet project.
 * Many books have print versions. See WB:PRINT, and Category:Books with print version. If a book has a print version, go to it and press the link in the left sidebar under "Print/export" that is "Download as PDF".


 * If you have further questions, please ask at WB:HELP. -- Jules (Mrjulesd) 20:19, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Mental Math
About your question there, the formula simplifies to this if certain assumptions are made; I have edited it to make this clear. -- Jules (Mrjulesd) 18:50, 12 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Perfect! Ja Siggi (discuss • contribs) 18:53, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
