To view an explanation to the answer, click on the [show] link to the right of the question. Are Wikipedia's mathematics articles targeted at professional mathematicians?
No, we target our articles at an appropriate audience. Usually this is an interested layman. However, this is not always possible. Some advanced topics require substantial mathematical background to understand. This is no different from other specialized fields such as law and medical science. If you believe that an article is too advanced, please leave a detailed comment on the article's talk page. If you understand the article and believe you can make it simpler, you are also welcome to improve it, in the framework of the BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. Why is it so difficult to learn mathematics from Wikipedia articles?
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a textbook. Wikipedia articles are not supposed to be pedagogic treatments of their topics. Readers who are interested in learning a subject should consult a textbook listed in the article's references. If the article does not have references, ask for some on the article's talk page or at Wikipedia:Reference desk/Mathematics. Wikipedia's sister projects Wikibooks which hosts textbooks, and Wikiversity which hosts collaborative learning projects, may be additional resources to consider. See also: Using Wikipedia for mathematics self-study Why are Wikipedia mathematics articles so abstract?
Abstraction is a fundamental part of mathematics. Even the concept of a number is an abstraction. Comprehensive articles may be forced to use abstract language because that language is the only language available to give a correct and thorough description of their topic. Because of this, some parts of some articles may not be accessible to readers without a lot of mathematical background. If you believe that an article is overly abstract, then please leave a detailed comment on the talk page. If you can provide a more down-to-earth exposition, then you are welcome to add that to the article. Why don't Wikipedia's mathematics articles define or link all of the terms they use?
Sometimes editors leave out definitions or links that they believe will distract the reader. If you believe that a mathematics article would be more clear with an additional definition or link, please add to the article. If you are not able to do so yourself, ask for assistance on the article's talk page. Why don't many mathematics articles start with a definition?
We try to make mathematics articles as accessible to the largest likely audience as possible. In order to achieve this, often an intuitive explanation of something precedes a rigorous definition. The first few paragraphs of an article (called the lead) are supposed to provide an accessible summary of the article appropriate to the target audience. Depending on the target audience, it may or may not be appropriate to include any formal details in the lead, and these are often put into a dedicated section of the article. If you believe that the article would benefit from having more formal details in the lead, please add them or discuss the matter on the article's talk page. Why don't mathematics articles include lists of prerequisites?
A well-written article should establish its context well enough that it does not need a separate list of prerequisites. Furthermore, directly addressing the reader breaks Wikipedia's encyclopedic tone. If you are unable to determine an article's context and prerequisites, please ask for help on the talk page. Why are Wikipedia's mathematics articles so hard to read?
We strive to make our articles comprehensive, technically correct and easy to read. Sometimes it is difficult to achieve all three. If you have trouble understanding an article, please post a specific question on the article's talk page. Why don't math pages rely more on helpful YouTube videos and media coverage of mathematical issues?
Mathematical content of YouTube videos is often unreliable (though some may be useful for pedagogical purposes rather than as references). Media reports are typically sensationalistic. This is why they are generally avoided. |
Original research on Wikipedia[edit]
Hello, I am a mathematician from the German Wikipedia. There we had recently a user that basically "misused" the German Wikipedia to publish his own "research" (if you can call it even that...). Basically the user computed a LOT of things with Wolfram Alpha and published all his computations in the German Wikipedia to a point where the articles became unreadable. He even invented his own names for functions and the user - according to his own words - does not have a formal degree in mathematics. In my opinion most of the stuff was not even relevant for an encylopedia. In the end a lot of his entries were deleted and after a heated discussion the user got banned. Long story short the user was/is also active in the English Wikipedia (see Special:Contributions/Reformbenediktiner). I am not so familliar with the English Wikipedia policies but I know that original research is also not allowed, so I thought I should maybe notify people here and they could at least have a look at some of the affected articles like for example Theta function, Rogers–Ramanujan continued fraction, Fubini's theorem#Example Application, Jacobi elliptic functions, Rogers–Ramanujan identities etc. If you see some math in color, that was probably done by this user. In the German Wikipedia the user did not use any source material and just computed things with Wolfram Alpha. Whether it all was correct or not, I am not even sure. It would be good if people would have a look at the affected English articles as well and give their judgement.--Tensorproduct (talk) 19:42, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- FYI: User:Reformbenediktiner. PatrickR2 (talk) 19:48, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for this report. I just removed a lot of this from Poisson summation formula (two long and almost entirely unsourced sections). Probably the others listed above and the contributions of this user need similar scrutiny. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:28, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, unfortunately every post by him needs scrutiny. In the German Wikipedia eventually almost all of his math edits were removed. Many users asked him many times to provide sources but he kept on editing without providing any source. It seems to be the same here as Jacobolus' example below shows--Tensorproduct (talk) 21:18, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

- Here was another recent discussion: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Mathematics/Archive/2023/Jul#Theta_function. --JBL (talk) 18:58, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
- Huh. I spotted the stuff at theta function, and scratched my head a bit about it. I would be happier if much or most of this was removed, or maybe moved to a distinct article. Many of the relations are cool-looking! Yes, it is not uncommon for stuff similar to this to be published in journals. However, the cutting edge academic journals & books will say things similar this in the intro: In 1837, Kummer listed three identities for hypergeometric functions; this was extended to 50 by 1880, and 240 in 1920 and a general algorithm to generate a countable number of such identities was given in 1960. However, it did not list all of them, and neither did algorithms x,y,z proposed in 1980 and in this paper we explore the structure of algorithmic generators ... and so you realize these guys are talking about a kind-of fractal splattered all through this landscape of inter-related identities, and how to best understand/describe that fractal. (As far as I know, there aren't any articles on WP that even scratch the surface of this topic, and it would be cool if there were... but, whatever.) The problem is that the enthusiastic amateur is unaware that he's dong the algebraic equivalent of publishing cool-looking zooms of the Mandelbrot set. Yes, its still cool looking. But is not where the action is, and it is a clutter and distracting, if you were reading the article to find something else, e.g. look up some factoid about riemann surfaces, and that factoid is now buried in reams of wild identities. 67.198.37.16 (talk) 08:13, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- It's up to you guys if you want to check every edit of him, whether it is legit or not (like we did in the German Wikipedia), or you want to save time and just remove them. For me is "computing stuff with Wolfram Alpha and not adding to the mathematical theory" not mathematics and hence not relevant for an encylopedia.--Tensorproduct (talk) 22:05, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
- I literally just came across a few edits by that user at the article Jacobi elliptic functions while looking for articles to translate into Spanish. Unfortunately that user's article edits go back to 2022, and I can't justify reverting that far back since I can't integrate other people's edits while deleting that user's edits. I can confirm that a good chunk of their vocabulary is gibberish from at least 19 March 2024, but because the topic is somewhat beyond me, I can't even confirm the tremendous amount of notational modifications that user also made since 2022. I do suspect that reverting all of that user's edits is the right move. JuanTutors (talk) 00:21, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- Wow, yeah. Vast stretches of Jacobi elliptic functions and Theta function are garish, under- or unreliably sourced, and basically impenetrable. There's no way to tell what is important and what is just a formula included for the sake of having a formula. XOR'easter (talk) 01:35, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- I'd go so far as to say that Theta function should be reverted to the version of 14 April 2022. XOR'easter (talk) 22:34, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- I agree with this. It seems that there were some intervening good edits, but it seems like the simpler approach would be to merge those in manually. Tito Omburo (talk) 10:45, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- I can hit revert myself, but I'd have to clear time/gather energy to do manual merging of any intervening good edits. Perhaps some of the additions to these various pages could be saved in a List of identities for the such-and-such function kind of article (like Exact trigonometric values and List of trigonometric identities). But we'd need better grounds for preserving such material than "Wolfram Alpha says so" or "one random preprint on ResearchGate includes it". XOR'easter (talk) 18:11, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

I've removed a section of geometric series by this editor that was obvious offtopic original research. I looked at their edits to Fubini's theorem, which I consolidated into Fubini's theorem#Calculation examples and I don't feel very strongly about it (although it badly needs edits for style). Tito Omburo (talk) 10:39, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
Note: It seems like @A1E6: has had a lot of interactions with this editor in the past, and presumably could weigh in. Tito Omburo (talk) 10:55, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- Some of his work exceeds the limits of what WolframAlpha can do. But what matters is that he often harms the Wikipedia project by adding his original research that is clearly beyond WP:CALC and not only that; the research is sometimes hardly notable/interesting from a mathematical standpoint. I've had a conversation with him on several occasions; you can check out my Talk page if you want.
- When I first started editing Wikipedia, I had a similar mindset like Reformbenediktiner – but that changed (a long time ago) when I understood what this project is about.
- I'm not active on Wikipedia anymore though; otherwise I would have already done all the "dirty work" myself – like deleting some of his contributions (or adding warnings about original reseach for readers) and discussing on the Talk pages – I'm familiar with all the mathematical articles that he edits.
- But don't get me wrong – some of his contributions are good... A1E6 (talk) 12:44, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- This is an area that I also have some familiarity with, but I am not a great expert. If I have time, I will try to clean up some of these articles and keep you posted. Tito Omburo (talk) 19:11, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
Piecewise[edit]
I'm confused by Set theorist's recent move of Piecewise to Piecewise-defined function. Shouldn't we have an article about the general concept "piecewise" (when applied to some property of a function, rather than a definition), which subsumes piecewise linear function, piecewise constant function, piecewise continuous function, piecewise differentiable function, etc.? (The last 2 links redirect to Piecewise-defined function which I consider misleading since the properties are independent of the way in which a function is defined.) - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 11:11, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- I agree, and I have reverted back to the previous title. D.Lazard (talk) 11:46, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- I have rewriten the lead for making clear that "piecewise-defined function" and "piecewise property of a function" are essentially the same concept. Much further work would be useful for this article. D.Lazard (talk) 12:36, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- Someone should write something about the higher dimensional case, especially surface interpolation and connections with many areas (e.g., computer graphics). Tito Omburo (talk) 15:06, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- Higher dimensional examples are significantly more complicated/diverse; I'm not sure if the name "piecewise" is ever used for this per se, but perhaps. E.g. in the 2-dimensional case there are some such functions based on regular square or triangular grids, some based on arbitrary triangulations or division into assorted rectangles, and some based on arbitrary divisions into regions of other shapes. –jacobolus (t) 17:17, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

- This concept is not only about functions. See piecewise linear manifold and piecewise linear curve, for instance. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:13, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
Generally adjectives make bad article titles (see also WP:NOUN). In mathematics specifically, they often seem to be explanation-of-jargon articles, which in my opinion we should generally not have. I'm not convinced there's a good rationale to explain all the different mathematical uses of "piecewise" in a single article. A blurb in glossary of mathematics might be OK, and the search term could redirect there. --Trovatore (talk) 19:50, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
Since the article, as it now stands, is only about piecewise defined functions, it should be moved to Piecewise-defined function and then a new Piecewise disambiguation page should be created, with links to Piecewise-defined function, Piecewise linear manifold, and other "piecewise" things. Michael Hardy (talk) 02:24, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
- I disagree: The lead of the article defines and is linked to piecewise linear function, and I have just added in this article a hatnote linking to piecewise linear (disambiguation). As Piecewise linear manifold is about a very advanced matheatical concept, one can presume that interested readers will not search for "piecewise", and that the new hatnote is sufficient. D.Lazard (talk) 11:05, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
- Piecewise linear 2-manifolds, as polyhedral surfaces, are actually a quite familiar and not very advanced concept. Similarly piecewise linear curves are commonplace and familiar. It is only in higher dimensions that they get more advanced. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:06, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
- Moreover, all articles whose name begin with "piecewise" refer to the same meaning of this adjective. In this case, WP:DABCONCEPT discourages to create a dab page, and recommends an article on the general concept (WP:Broad-concept article). D.Lazard (talk) 11:25, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
- The big risk with "broad-concept articles" is that we might be abstracting out a "broad concept" on our own, that sources have not isolated as a particular object of study. We are not supposed to do that. Can you find sources that bring together all these meanings of "piecewise" in a single place? If not, then we shouldn't either. --Trovatore (talk) 18:36, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
How to deal with this example/proof heavy article? (Cauchy's theorem)[edit]
I was asked to edit the article on Cauchy's theorem (group theory). There are two example sections which are earmarked for lack of citations. But when I read them, they do not seem particularly appropriate for the encyclopedia format at all. Putting aside typoes and poor grammar for a moment, the examples are both presented like problem book exercises, and could be shortened to a one-sentence description, if they are even interesting enough to warrant inclusion at all.
I'm also surprised that the article includes not one, but two entire proofs of the theorem. There must surely be textbooks online with complete proofs of their own. The style manual suggests "as a rule of thumb, include proofs when they expose or illuminate the concept or idea; don't include them when they serve only to establish the correctness of a result." - by this metric I would vote to remove proof 1 entirely, and heavily abbreviate proof 2.
I have ideas for content that could be added, but I thought before removing 50% of the article I should get a second opinion. Danielittlewood (talk) 21:02, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- I also am a fan of proof 2. As far as a citation for this proof goes: it is an exercise in Isaacs _Finite Group Theory_. The original proof is by J McKay in a 1959 article in the Amer. Math. Monthly. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 21:23, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for that reference. I managed to find the exact reference (although I can't access it, I'll take your word for its content). I'll add that to the article.
- https://www.jstor.org/stable/2310010 Danielittlewood (talk) 21:07, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- A few examples showing some basic consequences of a theorem generally seems like a good idea to include. It would be nice to show some picture with these. Any wikipedia article explicitly about a theorem should include at least one proof if it is not inordinately long, or a proof sketch if all of the proofs are extremely cumbersome. If there are multiple proofs with substantially different ideas, then including more than one proof is nice. The style guide you are quoting is discussing the use of proofs in articles that aren't explicitly about particular theorems. In an arbitrary mathematical article (something like Circle or Matrix (mathematics) or Differential calculus or Real number), including a proof of every statement would be a distraction. –jacobolus (t) 22:43, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- In this case i completely agree with removing (at least most of) the examples. The first one has nothing to do with Cauchy's theorem: it should be removed. The second one uses it (in a confusingly oblique way) while usually the result is deduced from Lagrange's theorem; it can conceivably remain if it is rewritten correctly. jraimbau (talk) 05:06, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- I'm certain there are better applications. I think the ones in the article currently can be abbreviated to a single sentence while losing nothing of value. I'll try to find some better examples, ideally that lead to proofs of deeper theorems. Danielittlewood (talk) 21:08, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

- I think both proofs are good to include, since they're very short and the page is about the theorem. To my personal preference the second proof could be written a little condensed, something like this:
- Given any group G, the cyclic group Zp acts on the set of tuples (g1,...,gp) in G with g1...gp = e, by cyclic permutation of the elements. If p is prime and G is finite, it follows from the orbit-stabilizer theorem that each orbit of the action has size either 1 or p. Orbits of size one are in natural bijection with group elements g such that gp = e. If there is no such element other than e, it follows that the cardinality of the set of tuples is not divisible by p (since it is equivalent to 1 modulo p); since it can be checked that the cardinality of the set is divisible by the order of G, it follows that the order of G is not divisible by p. So if the order of G is divisible by p, then there must exist a non-identity element g with gp = e.
- (with obvious room for improvement, and provided there's a reference given with details). If there's a similar way to slightly reduce the first proof, I think that would be ideal. But I also think that both as currently written are acceptable in terms of detail. Gumshoe2 (talk) 23:37, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
Inner measure[edit]
The inner measure article had an unsourced and incorrect definition from almost 14 years ago, which I have now removed. It leaves the article pretty spare. Thoughts on what to do are invited on the talk page. --Trovatore (talk) 05:50, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
Hello, I think there was some vandalism on the Hodge conjecture. I tried to revert to what looked to be last good version of the article. However, I am not sure given the maths in the article. If someone can take a look at the diffs and content of the article that would be much appreciated! Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 22:03, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

- @Classicwiki and Tito Omburo: I notice that the article was edited heavily by Darcourse in 2023 and 2022; this editor is singularly incompetent in my opinion (though not a vandal), so if you're checking what the last good revision is, you might inspect their edits, too.

Copy-pasting proofs in articles[edit]
I just deleted some technical proofs in the Coppersmith's attack article, because they were pretty much copy-pasted from some of the sources with a few words changed. Given the article is not about most of the proofs, they're probably better deleted anyways, but I was wondering what the policy was on proofs in articles and how similar they're allowed to be, because obviously Wikipedia can't have its own proof of every subject, but I think it's a copyright violation if you copy-paste (even with a few words changed) the exact wording. Does anyone know if that's correct? I looked for any policy pages but could not find them. Mrfoogles (talk) 00:56, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- Sounds about right. Review Wikipedia:COPYVIO. Perhaps if you spent a lot of time and determined that the sources were CC-by-SA, and so they could be copied, the question still remains if mathematical proofs in articles adds any value. Usually, they don't. See Category:Article proofs and Category:Articles containing proofs and Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics/Proofs.
My knee-jerk reaction is you're dealing with a form of spam from a novice editor with good intentions but lacking experience.On closer inspection, that article was created whole, including the proofs, in 2011, by an editor who created two WP articles in two days, and never-ever edited WP ever again. The intricacy of detail suggests that the author is copying directly from their own thesis, i.e. they are probably copying their own work. Probably. But since they're anon, can't quite tell, and since they're not active, can't ask them.
- One more comment about proofs. If they are added by a clear subject-matter expert (as is the case here) then they're OK (because likelihood of correctness is high, and the maintenance burden is low.) When they are added by a college sophomore studying for a mid-term exam, then they must be exterminated with prejudice. If they clutter the article, they can be wrapped with one of the auto-expander click-thru box templates, so that they don't take up space when not expanded. 67.198.37.16 (talk) 02:46, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Emmy Noether FAR final citations and checks[edit]
The Emmy Noether article has been at featured article review for a couple months now. If anyone wants to take a look, most of the issues seem to have been fixed but the contributions to mathematics and physics section would likely benefit from a couple more citations and a quick survey (including of the typsetting) by someone more qualified than I am.
