wow -- great article -- this helped a lot.

Characteristic function

Who says "characteristic function" is "much less frequent now"? It's actually the only term I know for this (I had to guess what an "indicator function" might be, when it showed up in Talk:Boolean algebra). Also the notation I know is χA for the characteristic function of A. --Trovatore 15:26, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I agree strongly. I had never hear of "indicator function" before I read the ergodic theory article and linked to this page from there. I propose that this page be renamed to "characteristic function". --70.19.59.194 22:02, 23 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
