subgroups

[Stephen Repetski]

To work on articles, I think that dividing them up into subgroups would be appropriate (correct me if I'm wrong). I can think of a couple of subgroups now, but there are plenty more out there that are probably above my level:

pre-algebra stuff (elementary?)

algebra

geometry

calc

multivar

statistics

what are others?

I guess we'd use these to organize them on the list of pages (http://pilot.citizendium.org/wiki/Category:Mathematics_Workgroup)...?

• pre-algebra stuff (elementary?)
• algebra
• geometry
• calc
• multivar
• statistics

what are others?

Looking at the list of high-priority articles (most of which have been moved to http://pilot.citizendium.org/wiki/Category:Mathematics_Workgroup_%28Top%29), I can see "Graph theory" and "Game theory", which would both make good subgroups. I've found from working on the "Games" article that, when you fix up a top-level article, you inevitably have to define the scope of the subject, and that gives good ideas for natural subdivisions and hence subgroups.

(from outside the group)
Are you planning to discuss high matematics under the headings of algebra, geometry, and calculus or separate them for the customary lower-division undergraduate subjects?

[Stephen Repetski]

If we have enough articles for each topic, I think that we should separate the higher levels from the main topics of algebra, geometry, etc.

[Greg Woodhouse]

Graph theory is a must. It has developed into a core mathematical discipline with an extensive literature.

I am the only one who thought about group theory when seeing topic's name?

Well, you must the only on to think about normal subgroups, instead of all these other silly things.
