→‎Fixed points: clarify what it means for degree 14 polynomial to have a closed-form solution

GregG

→‎Liberal Bias: remove off-topic reference to global warming, as using math to model global warming is really the province of climatology, not math per se

GregG

→‎Algebra and Number Theory: fix broken tag

→‎Fixed points: it's possible to solve a polynomial of degree 14. It's just very difficult and arduous to do without a supercomputer.

MarkGall

added "further reading". additions welcome!

MarkGall

clarification of intent of article

MarkGall

rough draft of periodic orbits in billiards. i don't actually remember what the poincare recurrence theorem tells us here -- i'll work through it tomorrow and make sure i'm right

MarkGall

failure of unique factorization in Z[sqrt(-5)]: a first draft

MarkGall

anyone else's improvements welcome too, of course

MarkGall

double bubble draft: rschlafly's improvements welcome!

MarkGall

a bit on careers

MarkGall

very brief writeup of bezout's thm, will require pictures. if someone who isn't familiar with the theorem could critique it, i'd be grateful! i have the feeling that this is very poor exposition

Aschlafly

→‎Geometry: improved description of geometry, nice reference to the double-bubble conjecture!

PatrickD

→‎Related fields: Let's be clear on that.

Aschlafly

→‎So What?: more on career opportunities

MarkGall

extremely rough treatment of fixed points: brouwer's theorem, sharkovsky's theorem. please comment on the exposition, especially if you haven't seen these before!

RJJensen

→‎Other fields: add

MarkGall

added image

MarkGall

motivate algebraic topology

MarkGall

describe the konigsberg problem and its solution

MarkGall

move a couple problems, reorganize

→‎Major Topics of Study

Aschlafly

→‎Probability and Statistics: how many no-hitters must a pitcher toss before one can conclude from that evidence alone that he is a great pitcher?

MarkGall

reorganize

MarkGall

add statistics section, per RJJ's suggestion
