Numberical Instability

Hi! Just wanted to leave a little note about your work on this page. You might want to check out some suggestions on writing a math-related article, how to add nice looking formulae to a page, and, as a rule, avoid self-referential pronouns, such as "I", "we", and "one". If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a line. Happy editing! --InShaneee 17:26, 22 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Doin' just fine. :) Making a note on someone's talk page is indeed the correct way to communicate on wikipedia. Oh, one other thing I forgot to mention: there's no need (nor is it proper) to sign your actual articles. Don't worry, you are getting credit for your work. If you click on the 'history' tab for the actual page, you'll see that ever edit you've made to it has been recorded. So, due to the multi-author nature of wikipedia, we use that instead of trying to sign things or anything like that. One other thing you might want to try is until you've got the basic skeleton of the article up, you might want to slap the {{Underconstruction}} tag on the top of it, so anyone stopping by doesn't think someone just left an article up half-written. Anyhoo, it looks like you've got a good start on numerical instability, and I'm rather curious to see how it develops. So, once again, good luck! --InShaneee 17:50, 22 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- The link to "numerical instability again" came out in red because there is no article by that title. (when you put something in double brackets, it tries to link to an article). And yes, I am actually taking calculous as we speak, so I am mostly following along with your article :). Again, keep in touch if you need anything. --InShaneee 05:44, 23 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
