→Let's do this.
:Sure, that looks like a reasonable outline for the whole category (though with most of the emphasis on things covered in school -- there are currently many more advanced pages here). What I am wondering is what subtopics of these merit their own pages, and whether we want any rigor in defining basic concepts. What topics in number theory merit their own pages? Should we attempt to define something like a number field (with appropriate motivation and examples, of course), or just write elementary things like Fermat's little theorem? Or no subpages at all? I'm just not sure of the scope that CP is aiming for in these pages, so it's hard to know what writing would be most useful. --[[User:MarkGall|MarkGall]] 10:53, 1 July 2009 (EDT)

:::MarkGall, this is just a basic outline for a basic article that goes into general detail about the subject at hand. This article itself ''is a general article'', and it's not necessary to get into greater detail other then to provide simple descriptions of what each topic is about; the topics themselves will lead to more detailed articles as necessary. So, sit back with a cold beverage, turn up Michael Jackson's ''Thriller'' or Beethoven's 9th symphony, and just work the article as planned. You'd be surprised where it leads you.

:: Mark, there's nothing special about math pages. As with any other topic here, just enter good educational material as you see fit. The wiki software permits easy improvement afterward. Thanks and Godspeed.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 11:04, 1 July 2009 (EDT)
