Basic analysis
Can the article have an alternate heading of Basic Analysis in the Real Analysis Section or some reference to the term Basic Analysis? I searched wikipedia for Basic Analysis and could not find the term. I found this article using Google searches. I think the term Basic Analysis is still in common use and would help searchers and readers if the term Basic Analysis was cross-referenced with the term Real Analysis for example: http://www.jirka.org/ra/realanal.pdf Jcardazzi (talk) 04:50, 27 April 2015 (UTC)jcardazzi
"Analysis" as a term is more used in Europe, americans prefer to talk about "Calculus". Lbertolotti (talk) 23:48, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
Merge
The decision at a lightly-attended AfD was to merge Non-classical analysis into Mathematical analysis#Other topics. There's some duplication there already and not all the content is mergeworthy. — Charles Stewart (talk) 18:00, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
- I merged the four points I mentioned in the AfD - please feel free to edit/remove as you see fit! Felix QW (talk) 18:54, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
- Looks good. I kind of regret that we've lost the pointer to abstract Stone duality. We've not had substantial coverage since Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Abstract Stone duality in 2009. Request by Paul Taylor; maybe I email him and see if his feelings on having a Wikipedia article on the topic have changed. — Charles Stewart (talk) 21:21, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
Be more clear on Cauchy contribution
You need to be more clear on whether or not Cauchy produced a "modern" mathematical system of analysis, with strict definitions/axioms unlike Newton who differentiated on intuition. VictorPorton (talk) 15:33, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
Proposed link update for vector analysis
The current "Vector analysis" section links to book articles. It would be more useful to link to Vector calculus which provides a broader overview of the field. What do you think? mw (talk) 12:08, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- Clearly, vector calculus is the correct {{main article}} of this stub section. I have fixed this.
- By the way, I have removed the text-book style explanation of what is a vector, and the basic examples that do not belong to this section. D.Lazard (talk) 16:06, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
