Appendice via templates
I'd like other users' opinions on this idea. A lot of books on mathematics, especially on more advanced topics, relegate some of the necessary math to appendices. For example, a book on tensor calculus might in an appendix contain enough topology to define a differential manifold. I like this organization; it allows readers who are already familiar with the prerequisite material to jump into the real content right away, and it provides a handy reference.

Here is my idea: we could use templates to build up these appendices. If the book I am working on needs an intro to set theory in the appendix, I just add in the appropriate place. CyborgTosser 22:24, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)


 * I am a bit confused as to what you mean. But probably because I don't fully understand what the above code would do.  Is the idea to build up a standard set of appendices that could be used in any wikibook? Thenub314 (talk) 10:14, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello
This is a quick hello to see who is out there in working on wikibooks. Seeing how the last edit was in 2011, getting a reply here seems a bit much to hope for, but it couldn't hurt. Thenub314 (talk) 10:15, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Abstract Algebra

 * Hi. I am working on Abstract Algebra/Group Theory now. Anyone interested? Arydye001 (talk) 15:00, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I would be interested once the summer break ends. I have left a more detailed note at your talk page.  Thenub314  ( talk ) 10:17, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm intrested in Apollonian groups, kleinian groups. Because I'm not mathemticien i would like to read about basic theory and practical algorithms to compute it. --Adam majewski (talk) 20:13, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

* Courses
An anonymous IP editor has created several *Courses mathematics books (along with *Courses in other subjects) that are often poorly translated and had contained copyright violations of Wikipedia content (which I deleted). Arithmetic Course, Calculus Course, Trigonometry Course, and Geometry Course are specific to this WikiProject. – Adrignola discuss 02:39, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I can't see the point of Trigonometry Course, given the existence of Trigonometry. It isn't even in English; one page is called Square Triangle.  I am minded to move its deletion.--Wisden (discuss • contribs) 12:18, 18 February 2011 (UTC)


 * As I noted in a general note to others, three previous books created by this editor were deleted due to low quality/redundancy. I've tried to encourage contributions to existing books, but just as the person won't create an account for easier interaction, they also do not respond to any comments/queries left on the IP discussion pages. – Adrignola discuss 14:04, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
