Facing the crossroads of the three different learning environments, [[Formal learning|formal]], [[Nonformal learning|non-formal]] and [[Informal learning|informal]], intertwined with [[Individualist learning|individualist]], [[Cooperative learning|cooperative]], [[Collaborative learning|collaborative]] and [[Active learning|active]] learning situations, looking to [[21st century skills|21<sup>st</sup> century skills]] and with some of Seneca's [[docendo discimus]] and of Socrates' [[maieutics]], it is my aim with this project to contribute to the student's involvement in the organization and development of teaching, learning and evaluation, through the development of online learning materials, their revision and publication in Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia ([http://www.fpa.es/en/princess-of-asturias-awards/laureates/2015-wikipedia.html?especifica=0 Princess of Asturias Award for International Cooperation 2015]). In this way, they work competences that have been established for the Further Mathematics subject in the verified memories of the four-year bachelor's degree in Computing and Computer Engineering and of the four-year bachelor's degree in Computer Software Engineering, at the University of Extremadura. 

<!--to contribute to that the so-called evaluation or assessment stops from being a mere measuring instrument of the extent to which students have assimilated the contents received-->We move away '''from the 'sit back and be told' culture towards the 'making and doing' culture'''<ref><span style="font-variant:small-caps">Gauntlett</span>, David (2011). <i>Making is Connecting: The social meaning of creativity, from DIY and knitting to YouTube and Web 2.0</i>. Cambridge, England (GB-ENG), UK: Polity Press. © CC BY-NC-SA. http://www.makingisconnecting.org/gauntlett2011-extract1.pdf</ref>. Contributing to Wikipedia is an ideal way to find the balance between necessary rigour and neutrality, naturalness and  straightforwardness of the language intended for disseminating academic knowledge. A training experience being able of bringing to light, capacities, abilities, dexterities, aptitudes, attitudes and values that have been intrinsic, reinforced or acquired during the learning process. At the same time as it puts to the test their understanding skills, their aptitude for practical work and their planning and management skills, it stimulates intuition and creativity and develops proactivity, self-esteem, autonomy and decision-making ability, reinforcing the capacity of adapting to new situations and changes and of assuming social responsibilities and the interpersonal and civic competences, and harmoniously combining freedom and respect.

Thus, in particular, the main elements linked to collaborative and cooperative learning that are strengthened are:

[[File:Egm6322.s09.xyz.pic17.jpg|thumb|300px|right|[Cooperative learning].<br>[[:commons:User:Egm6322.s09.xyz|Egm6322.s09.xyz]], 2009.]]

* [[Cooperation|Cooperating]] and [[Collaboration|collaborating]]
* Concrete [[critical thinking]]
* Collaborative and cooperative [[problem solving]]
* Improve writing skills ([[stylistics]])
* Individuality descentralisation, unity of image and joint communication
* [[Social responsibility|Individual responsibility towards the team and society]]
* Joint [[research]] skills
* [[Knowledge transfer]] to society
* [[Participatory leadership]] (read about the 'sound [previously, team] style' in the article [[Managerial grid model]]) (see also ''[[:es:Teoría situacional#Estilos de liderazgo|Teoría situacional#Estilos de liderazgo]]'', in Spanish)
* [[Peer learning]]
* [[Sharing]] and [[Generosity|giving]]
* [[Socialisation]]
* Technical and communication skills
* [[Teamwork|Working and processing in teams]]
also reviewing several notions related to the communal, as, for example, [[commons]], [[community]], [[free knowledge]] and [[communitarianism]].

<!--[[File:Pixelbay Question mark Word Art.png|thumb|300px|right|Question mark with word art in it.<br>John Hain, 2014.]]-->

* [[Persuasion]]
* [[Problem solving]]

Working together with the community of Wikipedia makes us being aware of cutting-edge knowledge of discrete and numerical mathematics. Moreover, we all have the opportunity to deepen our vision upon [[applied academics]], particularly in the field of [[Science and technology studies|Science, Technology and Society (STS)]]. In addition, the fact that students become authors, taking part in publishing, and, therefore, transmitters of information, with the work of documentation (gathering and interpretation of data and information) that this entails, helps them to focus on core concepts, to distinguish between a specialised public or not, as well as to differentiate the encyclopedic point of view, purely informative and jealously objective, from the intersubjective or subjective one (this issue, however, is ultimately avoidable because we are able to elaborate and defend arguments and make judgements, in the talk page of any article).

=== Academic responsibility and project coordination ===

== Work schedule ==
=== Learning component of this university project ===
It is worth noting that<!-- Epistemowikia and--> '''Wikipedia is a public, free and open wiki site''', therefore out of the [[#Dates|academic date range]] <strong>the project stays publicly open for ever</strong> — please feel '''free''' to contribute to it on those moments — (surely, some of us will have a chance then). In other words, the learning component of this project is never done as <strong>the voluntary cooperation never ends</strong>.
==== Type of contributions ====
[[File:World Brain HG Wells 1938.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Cover of the book [[:en:World Brain|World Brain]] by [[H. G. Wells]]. Published by Methuen & Co Ltd, London, 1938.<br>[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Marcok Marcok], 2015.]]
Consider yourself invited to provide contributions to this project on the English Wikipedia. These contributions must have to do with discrete or numerical mathematics. By participating in this project, you acknowledge, accept and agree that you will try to make your contributions:
* deal with a not so overly specialised subject or that the exposition of them is not difficult to understand (perhaps by the use of a convoluted or dark language, perhaps by an incorrect translation, perhaps too complex and out of the level and aim of this project);
* contain sufficient mathematical exposition or necessary explanations with suitable mathematical or computational examples (maybe occasionally avoidable with adequate [[Hypertext|hypertextualization]] or [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Wikify|wikification]]);
* if they are translations, they are correct in the target language, not simple automatic translations that have not been revised or only superficially revised (which would possibly lead to grammatical errors in English);
* if they are translations, they include translation indicators (for example, the template [[Template:Translated page|Translated page]], using it according to the instructions provided by the template on its own);
* do not contain format or style errors, neither grammatical nor spelling, and that the reference format is correct;
* include an adequate [[Hypertext|hypertextualization]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Wikify|wikification]];
* are categorized;
* contain an adequate number of references;
* they must conform to the types set out in the subsection '[[#Common to both components|common to both components]]'.
Moreover,
* if more people work on similar content to yours, it is essential that you coordinate each other and, if necessary, that you merge content or integrate your contribution into another existing article;
* your participation means that you assume the dynamic commitments that correspond to you (see the subsection '[[#Dynamic commitments|dynamic commitments]]').

=== Academic component of this university project ===
[[File:Wikipedia-logo-with-cap.svg|thumb|300px|right|A Wikipedia globe wearing a flat graduation cap.<br>[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Ragesoss Ragesoss], 2011.]]
Academically, this pilot project is conceived as an <strong>optional out-of-class activity</strong> for the course mentioned above. This component is included in the previous one, therefore, '''each and every one of the considerations made for the learning component is valid'''. As for the academic component itself, the following should be understood as the contractual provisions, susceptible to negotiation, of the [[didactic contract]] (''[[:es:contrato didáctico|contrato didáctico]]'', in Spanish) between you and the coordination of the project. By participating voluntarily and academically in this project, you acknowledge, accept and agree with.
==== Type and minimum number of contributions ====
The goal is that you do a <strong>minimum of four major contributions<sup>*</sup> to the English Wikipedia. These contributions must have to do with discrete or numerical mathematics and you must do at least one contribution per each header topic</strong>: 'Fundamentals', 'Number theory', 'Combinatorics' and 'Difference equations'. Within the scope of this topics, you can freely choose the subjects with which you wish to contribute, <strong>preferably part of the non-transversal sub-themes</strong> (if you have failed to complete the set from the four main themes you could choose maximum one subject from the transversal sub-themes) <strong>and whenever</strong> your contributions:
* are sufficiently ingrained in the main subjects of the course;
* you publish them, continually, along with the corresponding themes to which they belong are worked in class.
Moreover,
* you must publish, on an ongoing basis, in your logbook (a small [[Electronic_portfolio#In_education|process electronic portfolio]]) and in the [[Wikipedia:School_and_university_projects/Discrete_and_numerical_mathematics/Participants_and_major_contributions|contributions page]] of the project, the part of your [[Wikipedia:School_and_university_projects/Discrete_and_numerical_mathematics#Self-report|self-report]] about what you have developed so far.

== Starting on Epistemowikia ==
We use [http://cala.unex.es/cala/epistemowikia/index.php/Portada Epistemowikia] to develop our major contributions until they reach the minimum standard required by the English Wikipedia.

Some of the following lines are shared by both Epistemowikia and Wikipedia, and what is more, both sites are similar in many of them.
 
<ol type="number">

<li>If you want to collaborate, you have to join the Epistemowikia.<br>
<ol type="lower-alpha">
  <li>First, <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Especial:Entrar/signup|returnto=¡bienvenido!&returntoquery=showGettingStarted=false}} create an account]</span>.</li>
  <li>After doing that, your email must be confirmed. To do that, please [http://cala.unex.es/cala/epistemowikia/index.php/Especial:Entrar log in] with your username and password and go to your [http://cala.unex.es/cala/epistemowikia/index.php/Especial:Preferencias#mw-prefsection-personal preferences page] and follow the directions from there. If you do this, your edits will be attributed to your username, along with other benefits.</li>
</ol></li>

<li>You could modify, in accordance with your wishes, your [http://cala.unex.es/cala/epistemowikia/index.php/Especial:Preferencias preferences].</li>

<li>On your [http://cala.unex.es/cala/epistemowikia/index.php/Especial:Preferencias#mw-prefsection-personal personal preferences page], you must activate the following three options:
:[X] Enable email from other users</li>
:[X] Email me when a page or a file on my watchlist is changed</li>
:[X] Email me when my user talk page is changed</li>
</li>

<li>[http://cala.unex.es/cala/epistemowikia/index.php/Especial:Seguimiento Here] is your watchlist. You must include the course forums in it. You can, for instance, [http://cala.unex.es/cala/epistemowikia/index.php/Especial:EditarSeguimiento/raw edit your raw watchlist] including the following page names:
:Epistemowikia:Plan de aprendizaje/Ampliación de Matemáticas - Further Mathematics/Actividades/Foros/Noticias, Actualidad y Ocio - News, Current Events and Leisure
:Epistemowikia:Plan de aprendizaje/Ampliación de Matemáticas - Further Mathematics/Actividades/Foros/Cafetería - Cafe
:Epistemowikia:Plan de aprendizaje/Ampliación de Matemáticas - Further Mathematics/Actividades/Foros/Foro AM-FM - Forum AM-FM

:Epistemowikia:Proyecto de aprendizaje/Matemática discreta y numérica
:Epistemowikia:Proyecto de aprendizaje/Discrete and numerical mathematics

Thus, as 'Email me when a page or a file on my watchlist is changed' option is checked, you will be emailed every time a message is posted to any of these forums.
<br>
Note: Observe that, at any time, you can include a page into your watchlist simply checking the star that appears near the 'View history' tab.
</li>

<li>Join the project on [http://cala.unex.es/cala/epistemowikia/index.php/Epistemowikia:Proyecto_de_aprendizaje/Discrete_and_numerical_mathematics/Participants this dedicated page].</li>

<li>Include your major contributions to the project on [http://cala.unex.es/cala/epistemowikia/index.php/Epistemowikia:Proyecto_de_aprendizaje/Discrete_and_numerical_mathematics/Participants the same previous page].</li>

<li>Any person can watch the list of all your contributions easily on [http://cala.unex.es/cala/epistemowikia/index.php/Special:Contributions this page]. Although anyone interested could follow your dedication to the project, you should highlight your major contributions on a personal dedicated page. This must be a sub-page of your user page, that you will use as a public, free/libre and open logbook in which you will write down every and each of your contributions (that is, what is finished, what is being depveloped and what still has not started, including reference dates). You can easily create your logbook page, just browse to the following address, replace 'myusername' with your user name and push 'Enter':
<br>
http://cala.unex.es/cala/epistemowikia/index.php/Usuario:myusername/Logbook
</li>

<li>Although there is a [http://cala.unex.es/cala/epistemowikia/index.php/Epistemowikia:Página_de_prácticas test page], it seems reasonable that you have a personal one (similar again, browse to the following address, replace 'myusername' with your user name and push 'Enter'):
<br>

</li>

<li>Important:
<ol type="lower-alpha">
  <li>On Epistemowikia, mathematical formulas are represented using MathML (through a third-party Mathoid server). If, at some point, you see an error message instead of the formula, browse to your [http://cala.unex.es/cala/epistemowikia/index.php/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering appearance preferences page] where you can check the PNG option instead (the first option).</li>
<li>If you make a minor edition, please check that option before saving the page. Doing this you indicate the community that the change made is not an essential change. On the other side, it generates a smaller load on the data base.</li>

You are welcome to continue editing without [[Special:Userlogin|logging in]], but many editors recommend that you '''<span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:Userlogin|type=signup&campaign=anonwelcometemplate}} create an account]</span>'''. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits such as the ability to create articles. For a full outline and explanation of the benefits that come with creating an account, please see [[Wikipedia:Why create an account?|this page]]. If you edit without a username, your [[IP address]] ({{ {{{|safesubst:}}}ROOTPAGENAME}}) is used to identify you instead.<br>
In any case, enjoy editing here and being a [[Wikipedia:Wikipedians|Wikipedian]]! Please remember to always [[Wikipedia:Signatures|sign your comments]] on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the {{{{{|safesubst:}}}Usig|i}} button on the [[Help:Edit toolbar|edit toolbar]] or by typing four [[Tilde|tildes]] <code>{{Usig}}</code> at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date (a [[timestamp]]). If you create an account, your IP address will be hidden and you will be able to build a [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-personal|custom signature]] that can link to [[Special:MyPage|your own user page]].<br>
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to [[Wikipedia:Department of Fun|have some fun!]]<br>
To get some practice editing you can [[Wikipedia:Sandbox|use a sandbox]]. If you register an account, you will have <span class{{{|=}}}"plainlinks">[{{{{{|safesubst:}}}fullurl:Special:Mypage/sandbox|action{{{|=}}}edit&preload{{{|=}}}Template:User_Sandbox/preload}} your own private sandbox]</span> for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Also you could create more sandboxes (with other names) as sub-pages of your user page. Then for easy access in the future, you could put links to them on your user page. By the way, if you haven't created a user page yet, simply click [[Special:MyPage|here]] to start it.<br>

=== The basics ===
* [[Special:CreateAccount|'''Create an account on the English Wikipedia''']], if you do not have one yet.
* After doing that, '''you must confirm your email'''. To do that, please [[Special:Userlogin|log in]] with your username and password and go to your [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-personal|preferences page]] and follow the directions from there. If you do this, your edits will be attributed to your username, along with other benefits.
* You could modify, in accordance with your wishes, your [[Special:Preferences|preferences]]. For instance, on your [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-personal|personal preferences page]], you must activate the following three options:
**[X] Enable email from other users
**[X] Email me when a page on my watchlist is changed
* The list of pages you have selected to monitor for changes is on your [[Special:Watchlist|watchlist]]. '''You must include''' in this list, the different pages dedicated to the project and their talk pages (communication channels among the participants). To do this, [[Special:EditWatchlist/raw|edit your raw watchlist]] and include the following page names:
:* Wikipedia:School and university projects/Discrete and numerical mathematics
:* Wikipedia talk:School and university projects/Discrete and numerical mathematics
:* Wikipedia:School and university projects/Discrete and numerical mathematics/Participants and major contributions
:* Wikipedia talk:School and university projects/Discrete and numerical mathematics/Participants and major contributions
: '''It is equally advisable''' to add the pages dedicated to the learning plan:
:* Wikipedia:School and university projects/Discrete and numerical mathematics/Learning plan
:* Wikipedia talk:School and university projects/Discrete and numerical mathematics/Learning plan
:* Wikipedia:School and university projects/Discrete and numerical mathematics/Learning plan/Sandbox
:* Wikipedia talk:School and university projects/Discrete and numerical mathematics/Learning plan/Sandbox
: Thus, as 'Email me when a page or a file on my watchlist is changed' option is checked, you will be emailed every time any of these pages is modified.
: '''Note''' that, at any time, you can include a page into your watchlist simply checking the star that appears near the 'View history' tab. Thus, '''it is also advisable to add''' the talk pages:
:* of the project participants, in the current academic year, and
:* of their logbooks.
: Observe also that the talk page which is associated with any page, serves mainly as a way of communication, in application of the sociable point of view, about the content of the page.
: <strong>Note:</strong> As you can have the same user account under all the Wikimedia projects, it is advisable that you do something similar at the Spanish Wikipedia (see <i>[https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Proyecto_educativo/Matem%C3%A1tica_discreta_y_num%C3%A9rica#Comienzo_y_desarrollo_en_la_Wikipedia_en_espa.C3.B1ol Comienzo y desarrollo en la Wikipedia en español]</i>).
* '''Join the project''' on [[Wikipedia:School_and_university_projects/Discrete_and_numerical_mathematics/Participants and major contributions|this dedicated page]].
|}
<br>{{Ambox|nocat=true|text=Please remember, by joining the project, '''you agree to all the terms and conditions''' established on these pages.}}

=== When practising Mediawiki language ===
* Your test page is [[Special:MyPage/sandbox|{{color box|SteelBlue|'''your sandbox'''|Gold}}, one sub-page of your user page]]. Use it to develop your major contributions until they reach the minimum standard required by the English Wikipedia.
{{Questions}}
* As to the '''doubts''':
** Do not forget the [[Help:Contents|Wikipedia Help page]].
** You can ask for help at the [[Wikipedia:Help desk|Wikipedia Help desk]] (only questions about how to use or edit Wikipedia).
** Or you can also ask for help at the [[Wikipedia:Teahouse|Teahouse]], a help space for new Wikipedia editors.
** For other questions use the [[Wikipedia:Reference desk|Wikipedia Reference desk]].
** In addition, at the [[Wikipedia:Adopt-a-user|Adopt-a-user]] program, you could seek adoption by an experienced editor who will mentor you as you learn about Wikipedia.
** Similarly, you could see the book [http://workingwithmediawiki.com/ ''Working with MediaWiki'', by Yaron Koren].
** Also, a detailed guide is [https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usuario:Tsaorin/CursoWiki2015 Workshop ''Cómo editar en Wikipedia: primeros pasos desde instituciones culturales''] by [https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usuario:Tsaorin Tomás Saorín], but in Spanish.

* If you wish to '''create an article''' and you are not sure of how to proceed, you should use the '''[[Wikipedia:Article_wizard|article wizard]]'''.
* Anyway you should consider consulting the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Layout|guide about the layout of a Wikipedia article]].
* Accessing to '''[[Special:Preferences|your preferences]]''', you will be able to modify: your [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-personal|user profile]], the [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering|general appearance]], some options for [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing|editing]], how the [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rc|recent changes]] and your [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-watchlist|watchlist]] are shown to you, how [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-searchoptions|to search]], which [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-echo|notifications]] you will be given and how do you like to receive them; in addition to this, you will be able to test [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|some beta features]] and to use lots of [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets|gadgets]] that will help you work better and easier on Wikipedia.
* If you make a '''minor edition''', please check that option before saving the page. Doing this you indicate the community that the change made is not an essential change. On the other side, it generates a smaller load on the data base.
* You must take into account that '''Wikipedia is a public, free and open website'''. Think well what you write and the personal data you provide. Do not write personal information such as government identification numbers, emails, phone numbers, etc., but if you have done it and you want it to completely disappear elsewhere on Wikipedia, read [[Wikipedia:Oversight|this page]] or go to [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard|here]].

=== When publishing an article ===
You could request help in the form of a [[peer review]] of your created article, particularly if you think your article may be a candidate for being a [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|featured article]] or a [[Wikipedia:Good articles|good article]]. In favour of the community, think about the work involved in carrying out a peer review and keeping in mind the ''[[Glossary_of_ancient_Roman_religion#do_ut_des|do ut des]]'' watchword, make a commitment to cooperate in the peer review of an article on which you are an expert. The [[Wikipedia:Peer review|Wikipedia's Peer Review area]] is the right place to request such a review and also to offer your expertise and to cooperate.

== Remember ==
[[File:The Impact Of Wikipedia.webm|thumb|500px|right|"The impact of Wikipedia" video, with subtitles in multiple languages.<br>[[:commons:User:Vgrigas|Victor Grigas (WMF)]], 2012.]]
* '''You must include your major contributions''' to the project on [[Wikipedia:School and university projects/Discrete and numerical mathematics/Participants and major contributions|the same Participants & Major contributions page]] (on this page, write down links to your contributions and be continually aware of the comments [either through symbols on that page or by receiving feedback on your talk page]).
* Any person can watch '''the list of all your contributions''' easily on [[Special:Contributions|this page]]. Although anyone interested could follow your dedication to the project, you should highlight your major contributions on a personal dedicated page. This must be a sub-page of your user page, that you will use as a public, free/libre and open logbook in which you will write down every and each of your contributions (that is, what is finished, what is being developed and what still has not started, including reference dates). You can easily create your logbook page, just browse to [[Special:MyPage/logbook|the sub-page that will host {{color box|SteelBlue|'''your logbook'''|Gold}}]]. Precisely, this one is the page that will host your [[#Self-report|self-report]]).
* Do not forget, the project main page on the English Wikipedia is this one, where you are now: [[Wikipedia:School_and_university_projects/Discrete_and_numerical_mathematics|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:School_and_university_projects/Discrete_and_numerical_mathematics]].
* And, please, do not take anything for granted and do not write anything off. Never give up!

== Identify yourself as a member of this project ==
You may wish to add the following [[Wikipedia:Userboxes|ID badge]] '''to [[Special:MyPage|your user page]]''':

{{Wikipedia:School and university projects/Discrete and numerical mathematics/Userbox}}

<div style="clear: both;"></div>

For doing this, include the following wiki code on [[Special:MyPage|your user page on the English Wikipedia]]:

<code><nowiki>{{Wikipedia:School and university projects/Discrete and numerical mathematics/Userbox}}</nowiki></code>

== Communicating to the Wikipedia community what we are doing ==
In certain occasions, it is customary to communicate to the Wikipedia community what we are doing.

== Self-report ==
[[File:MoMA Art Feminism 2019 62.jpg|thumb|300px|right|'2019 Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon' at The Museum of Modern Art, New York.<br>Manuel Molina Martagon, 2019.]]
For your '''academic participation''' to be taken into account, in all cases, you must continually write, keeping up with the developing of your work, a '''public, free and open self-report''', on your [[Special:MyPage/logbook|your logbook]], about the whole of your contribution to the project and justify that it is related to the four heading topics. A simple format could be:

: First and last names: __________
: Contributor on the English Wikipedia (your username and URL locator of your user page): __________
: Major contributions to the English Wikipedia (page titles, their URL locators, work accomplished and justification for its relationship with the four heading topics or at least with three out of those four and with one of the transversal sub-themes): __________
: Other minor contributions to the English Wikipedia related to the project: __________
: Comprehensive summary and assessment of all the work done (specifying the 'crossing' of the checkpoints and the fulfilment of the dynamic commitments): __________

[[User:Jmleonrojas/logbook|You can see here an '''example of logbook''']] (for the time being, only the statement of intention). You can also see '''real logbooks''' consulting the corresponding by the project's participants in previous editions, for instance, [[:es:Wikipedia:Proyecto_educativo/Matem%C3%A1tica_discreta_y_num%C3%A9rica#Personas_participantes_y_contribuciones|here, in Spanish]].

== Cooperative group work or better said, team work ==
[[File:TheBanglesLiveinSydney2010.jpg|thumb|300px|right|[[The Bangles]] performing live in Sydney, 22 Oct 2010.<br>[[User:Alamo25|Alamo25]], 2010.]]
Also regarding your '''academic participation''' and alongside your individual work you can also do a '''team work'''. There are only four requirements:
* Self-selection of the team, i.e. it is up to you to decide with whom you want to carry out the activity.
* The maximum number of people in the same team is 3.
* The work of the team must comply with what it has been established in the section '[[#Work schedule|Work schedule]]'.
* To ensure that the work of the team will be taken into account, the work of each of its members must comply with what it has been established in the section '[[#Work schedule|Work schedule]]'.

== Regarding the assessment of your participation in the project ==
* Please read: [[Wikipedia talk:School and university projects/Discrete and numerical mathematics/Learning plan#Welcome to the course and to its learning plan strengthened by the English Wikipedia (academic year 2019-2020)|Welcome to the course and to its learning plan strengthened by the English Wikipedia (academic year 2019–2020)]].

<p>'''Note 3: Appropriate content.'''<br>Contributions on topics not related to the contents of the course are not valid. Topics such as the limit of a sequence definition, convergence criteria, Cauchy sequences, series, convergence criteria, continuity of functions, derivability, etc., belong to calculus, to (non-numerical) mathematical analysis. Basic topics on matrices, their definitions, simple Gauss elimination method, etc., belong to (non-numerical) linear algebra. In this project, '''such topics have no place because they do not belong either to discrete mathematics or to numerical calculus'''. In this project, the topics should essentially single out the particularities of discrete versus continuous issues and the different algorithmic aspects of their numerical calculation.</p>

For each academic year, we will consider the topics and epigraphs of the [https://zurbaran.unex.es/cloud/index.php/s/RqzqR04EI0UwnXX teaching plan (ficha12a)] as the central contents. This will be fully reflected in the updated [[Wikipedia:School and university projects/Discrete and numerical mathematics | project page]], in this page and in the archived pages corresponding to past years.

For appendices or additional or transversal topics, we could keep in mind, in addition to some suggestions in the teaching plan (ficha12a), the classification made by the Wikipedia community:
* Discrete mathematics themes:
** '''[[Discrete_mathematics#Topics_in_discrete_mathematics|Topics in discrete mathematics]]''',
** '''[[Outline of discrete mathematics]]''';
* Numerical algebra and calculus themes:
** [[Numerical_analysis#Areas_of_study|Areas of study]],
** [[Outline of numerical analysis]].

All this without forgetting certain related areas such as, for instance, [[:Category:Decision theory|Decision theory]] (particularly [[:Category:Optimal decisions|Optimal decisions]]) or [[:Category:Sequential methods|Sequential methods]]. Or the '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics|WikiProject Mathematics]]''', where we can find direct links to:
* [[Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Mathematics|requested articles]],
* [[:Category:Mathematics stubs|mathematics stubs to be expanded]],
* [[:Category:Mathematics articles needing expert attention|articles needing expert attention]],
* [[Wikipedia:Pages needing attention/Mathematics|mathematics pages needing attention]],
* [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Mathematics#Things_to_do|more things to do]],
* [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Mathematics#Recognized_contents|recognized contents]], and
* [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Mathematics#Conventions|conventions for articles with mathematical content]].

Also of great interest are the following wikiprojects on the English Wikipedia: 
* [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Logic|WikiProject Logic]],
* [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Numbers|WikiProject Numbers]],
* [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Cryptography|WikiProject Cryptography]], and
* [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Game theory|WikiProject Game theory]].

<p>'''Note 4: Knowledge volunteering.'''<br>Though '''the present university project is specific for contributing to Wikipedia''', we may be involved on a '''voluntary basis''' and independently of our work relating to the course (that is, '''not academically evaluable'''), in:</p>

The final goal of this initiative is to improve the [[English Wikipedia]]. Once you finish your academic participation in this project, '''please, consider the possibility of continuing your contribution to Wikipedia'''. The greatest value of Wikipedia, as an open project, lies in its active community of contributors. Do not forget the other [[Wikimedia_Foundation##Projects_and_initiatives|Wikimedia Foundation projects and initiatives]], nor the global [[Wikimedia movement]]. Come on! And if you like Wikipedia or any other Wikimedia project or initiative, tell your friends and colleagues.
