Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/Undergraduate Mathematics

Undergraduate Mathematics
The scope of this book is too broad. The Linear Algebra wikibook is a good example of what such a project could be. I came up with the idea yonks ago on undergrad myself and no-one else has taken interest, because I was new to the platform and sketching out ideas.

I'm happy to contribute to other projects, I just don't want people to click this malformed idea instead.

 * Knittedbees many of the pages have a rich history, but I noticed on the logs of some that they were imported in May 2014. Is the bulk of the existing content simply imported from English Wikipedia in 2014? -- Jules (Mrjulesd) 21:05, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, the idea was to use Wikipedia as a template, but pretty much writing a few books like Analysis, Algebra and Dynamics from scratch focusing on exercises and worked examples would be a better approach (i.e. nothing like the Wikipedia articles I tried importing).

 * it has a lot of content but as explained above they are merely imported articles from Wikipedia in 2014. As such, readers would be better off reading the updated articles on Wikpedia than reading this book. So it makes sense to get rid of it. -- Jules (Mrjulesd) 23:25, 15 October 2019 (UTC)


 * As someone with experience in undergrad mathematics, I think the topics in this book are better off as independent wikibooks. Instead, I would favour creating a category of topics that are suitable for undergraduate-level mathematics. P.S: some of the topics are in the wrong category. Stokes' theorem and line integral are in vector calculus, not complex analysis (and there's nothing complex-valued in them, though ideas in line integrals pop up when doing contours and working out complex integrals).

 * I agree with Leaderboard about the idea of splitting the topics into independent wikibooks because of the insane amount and number of fields of information crammed into one single book. However, since the basis of the book is an importation from Wikipedia with a good proportion of analysis, I would favor deletion. I have seen books that are relevant to the content mentioned in that book with more analysis and examples. Maybe it would be a great idea to find those books and organize them under a shelf (perhaps there already is one but I was just unaware of it).
