Revision as of 20:56, September 5, 2008
, 20:56, September 5, 2008→Math rendering: fixed
Is there a problem with the rendering of the math mark-up? For me (in both IE and Firefox) the expression following "Likewise" is much larger than the previous examples despite having identical mark-up tags. [[User:BrianCo|BrianCo]] 17:09, 4 September 2008 (EDT)

:Looks fine to me (Firefox). However, before Ed's "force rendering" edit, the expression after "Likewise" looked slightly ''smaller'', so I'd assume that that edit is the key to the size issue. But don't ask me why it's fine for me now while not for you. Check the version before Ed's edit - do the lines look the same to you there? --[[User:DirkB|DirkB]] 17:37, 4 September 2008 (EDT)

::It still looked different in both Firefox and IE so I removed the slash at the end and it renders OK now. [[User:BrianCo|BrianCo]] 16:56, 5 September 2008 (EDT)
== Numbers vs Real numbers ==
== Numbers vs Real numbers ==
Typically students learn addition and multiplication with Natural numbers. Then come Integers, Rational and Real numbers. For a student it is important to know that those are the most well known commutative operations with numbers. Why would you restrict the field and confuse their mind with "real numbers" only? Huh. --[[User:BillP|BillP]] 16:15, 5 September 2008 (EDT)
