Talk:An elegant rearrangement of a conditionally convergent iterated integral

message: I've done a partial move to FT/Examples. If nobody complains I'm going to make a full merge in [[[FT#Example 2]], since the article is pretty empty and a separate page with examples, in this case, seems wasteful somewhat. --User:Mdob | Talk 20:38, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Merging in 24 hours

message: I have changed the title back to what it was originally, "an elegant rearrangement of a conditionally convergent iterated integral", because I think the misleading nature of any title that explicitly mentions Fubini's theorem is in large part the cause of Stlemur's misunderstanding.  He actually thought that "Fubini's theorem" was this page's "originating page" and that because of that, the article should get merged into that one.
One could with equal plausibility say that absolute convergence is the "originating page", but the title mentioning Fubini's theorem obscured that.
Stlemur said that all of the pages that link here could just as well link to Fubini's theorem.  That is wrong: the article titled absolute convergence could not "just as well link to Fubini's theorem.
I suspect Stlemur may have thought I was proposing that ALL examples in math articles should be in separate articles by themselves.  I was not.  Routine examples, e.g., illustrating how to use partial fractions to find a particular integral, should not normally be articles by themselves.  But anyone who looks at the list of mathematical examples will find mathematical objects that may be relevant to multiple different articles, not just one, that link to it, some of which are unusually elegant or enlightening, some of which are substantial discoveries in their own right.

replies: text: There is not now an article titled conditional convergence; that is just a redirect page to absolute convergence.  If anyone were to create an article collecting examples of conditionally convergent sums and integrals whose values change when they get rearranged, this would fit right in, just as well as it would if anyone collected examples relevant to Fubini's theorem.  If this material is all moved into the Fubini's theorem article, then it would also have to get copied into the conditional convergence article as well. Michael Hardy 22:55, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why I just changed this article's title back to what it was originally 

message: My instinct is to say this belongs in a wikibook, with a link from the Fubini's theorem wp article. It's not as though this is a notorious example with a history. Or is it? Then I would like to see that in the article. 128.135.60.26 19:02, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it's in some of the standard counterexamples books, such as (and, I suspect, including) Counterexamples in Analysis.  Definitely I think a reasonably simple example such as this one should appear in Wikipedia, since we should be clear about when Fubini's theorem applies and when it doesn't.
