New categories[edit]

Thank you for recategorizing the calculus articles. One remark. I think if you put a certain article in Category: integral calculus, then it needs to be removed from Category:Calculus which is a supercategory of Category: integral calculus. I mean, the main point of putting things in a new subcategory is to refine the categorization and reduce clutter. Then, I think it does not make sence to still keep those articles also in the mother category. What do you think? Oleg Alexandrov 01:43, 25 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your kind comments. I agree with you for a taxonomic system. However, I found that some article already had double categorisation within the Calculus 'tree' so I continued with what I found rather than take on a new issue as well as the restructure. I'm happy to tidy this down / help tidy this down if you agree. Thanks, Ian Cairns 08:51, 25 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Which Calculus?[edit]

Shouldn't the calculus of Newton and Leibnitz be called "The Calculus" rather than simply "Calculus", since there are any number of calculi have been conceived for various intellectual purposes?

simplify/examples[edit]

ok, maybe i'm just an idiot but most of the articles i've looked at in here are written in a language that only mathmateicians could understand. they need to be simplified that way someone who is trying to figure out how to do a problem can figure it out. examples would greatly help that. some don't have that.--Jaysscholar 03:06, 29 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You may not be a total idiot, but your grammar could use some work. :p
