General theory of relativity
I messed up Kate's paragraph order (again!) Sorry.

More introductory material, and try to improve the "this encyclopedia" stuff. Still not crazy about self-referential articles, but this may have to do.

Equivalence principle
Rewrite, put in historical context -- Newton, Soldner, Einstein.

Capitalization. The practice for article titles seems to be "title case". And this article is not following it. Oops.

Yay! New intro!: capitalization, charter/scope

Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem
Put in stuff about accumulation points. I hope I haven't messed up the economics stuff, but it doesn't seem very clear, either before or after. Can someone tell us just what the theorem says about e

Redirect. This page is linked from deduction,and is a common term for it in any case.
