Real coordinate space

You may reuse Real coordinate space #The domain of a function of several variables and some other pieces there, as well as make wikilinks back and fourth. Also, do not forget about category: Multivariable calculus. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 14:05, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done link and category, I'll continue writing later today. M∧Ŝc2ħεИτlk 14:12, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

To do

Thanks for the creation of this article. This is a good thing for WP. However, this article is yet a stub, relatively to the amount of material that should be in it and is yet lacking. I'll use the template {{to do}} to summarize this lacking material. D.Lazard (talk) 04:24, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A good list, but presumably some things (like the Taylor expansion, partial derivatives, Hessian matrix, real multivariable calculus) are to be mentioned and linked to, not to be covered in too much depth here. M∧Ŝc2ħεИτlk 06:09, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
By now, I've at least scraped the surface of a number of entries in the list. Any corrections of my inaccuracies are appreciated in advance.
Maybe some examples could be removed but not sure which ones. The geometric examples are always nice for easy visualization (surfaces of conics and surfaces/volumes of certain 3d solids). Considering the recent posts at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics#Linear function, Linear Equation, Linear Inequality full of errors and inconsistencies and "matheese" about "linear equations" and "linear functions", etc. we should at least keep the plane and hyperplane examples... as well as non-linear examples for contrast. The inclusion of a variety of examples in physics/engineering/applied maths is essential. For compactness maybe we could tabulate some examples but it would not be encyclopaedic to do so... Will look at trimming later. M∧Ŝc2ħεИτlk 10:08, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The article is desperate for diagrams, which are coming shortly. M∧Ŝc2ħεИτlk 11:12, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
