[edit] gfdl vector calculus book
You know about this? http://mecmath.net It looks in terms of licensing like it can be incorporated into the wikibook, and maybe the author would like to participate. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.241.238.217 (talk • contribs) 04:46, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Current Contributors
Hello, I'm fairly new to Wikibooks but interested in helping on this chapter. Would anyone be willing to give me an overview of the goals and organization, as well as where the most help is needed
Hearing no objections, I'm planning on doing some reorganization of the Integration Techniques modules. I would love to get some input from the community, let me know. W3asal (talk) 05:32, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
- If anyone else is currently working on this book, let me know. I'm planning on doing major rewrites of several sections (starting in the Applications of Integration), and I'd love to coordinate with others. Leave me a message below or on my talk page. Thanks, W3asal (talk) 01:27, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Style for theorems.
Is there a standard style for stating theorems in this book? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 199.170.84.172 (talk • contribs) 09:39, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
- This book seems to lack a contributor's guide or local manual of style. --Swift (talk) 06:36, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
- I've created {{Calculus/Def}} for this sort of thing.
- The old Calculus/Outline resembled a contributor's guide, so I've expanded it at Calculus/Contributing. --Mrwojo (talk) 16:28, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Merge with Solving Integrals by Trigonometric substitution
I would agree with this merger. Unless there are objections, I will be happy to start this process. --Shiftout (talk) 23:11, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
- I've moved the merge notice to the appropriate sub-page. Go ahead and be bold. --Swift (talk) 06:12, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Expanded TOC
I've just expanded the TOC on the main page. While the collapsed version may be more contributor friendly, those who are new to calculus and unfamiliar with the book structure benefit from a more detailed view. To further help them catch their bearings (and pretty this up a bit) I've added some relevant images to the first few sections. --Swift (talk) 06:11, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Inclusion of more examples and intent of book
Is there a policy on the number of examples/worked problems within the text? I think more examples would be of great value. Secondly, I'm curious as to the intent of the book. Certainly, someone looking for a survey of calc text would not be served well by this book but the content they want/need is within. Any suggested reading ideas?
