→Let's do this.: Statement of interest
:::::: In any case, I'll try to write a few articles on differential geometry the level that I think is appropriate. This will probably entail beefing up the motivation on [[differential geometry]] and adding a page about Gaussian curvature for surfaces in R^3, with motivation for the more general situation. I will also write a page about minimal surfaces, with particular reference to the 3d case, but perhaps some discussion of mean curvature. Once these are up, please tell me what you think! After that I may work on [[algebraic topology]], but that topic looks like it will require a substantial amount of cleaning of the existing pages to a more appropriate level. --[[User:MarkGall|MarkGall]] 00:02, 1 July 2009 (EDT)

:::I can also contribute to analysis. My particular interest is introductory (and that's the only kind you can do at this level!) topology, and its relatiionship to analysis and calculus. In other words, I want to answer the question "Why are mathematicians so obsessed with whether a set is open?" [[User:PatrickD|PatrickD]] 14:09, 5 July 2009 (EDT)
