Talk:Friendship book

thread_title: Untitled

message: Both based upon the German article and my own experience (myself being German), I think the sentence "Typically they are more like shared journals between two best friends or a couple and are kept at one of their houses." is incorrect. Maybe that kind of friendship book exists, but the main purpose of a friendship book as described (as long as it is remotely similar to the English one) is to collect (superficial) information on *many* people - for instance, all 20-ish classmates at elementary school. Except for the occasions when it is being filled, the friendship book does remain at the owner's house, and it will typically receive only entries from people the owner asks personally to add themselves, but the insinuation that only two people write into the book, each of them possibly even several times, seems to describe a totally different concept. 92.224.27.141 (talk) 21:15, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: I agree.  I think it will require admin work to get the playwright moved back to this article along with its history.  moving the dab page should be no problem. (John User:Jwy talk) 14:31, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I am an admin, so I can do it, but I'd like to see if there's any more feedback first. john k 14:35, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Er...wow.  Umm...I, the person who just suggested the change, was also the person who originally moved it to the unsatisfactory location!  Madness.  I had completely forgotten that I did this. I think the original move was because the William Congreve article originally contained discussion of both the playwright and the scientist.  I took out the scientist material to its own article and moved the rest of the article so as to prevent ambiguity.  I'm not sure why I did it that way, and obviously now (having forgotten the original action entirely) I think it should change.  Given that I was the one who apparently originally created the original situation, I guess I can change it now, huh? john k 14:42, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:DR Class 132

message: I've just finished adding the other Class 132,130,142 classes to this article.
Possibly the article should be renamed a bit. Would "DR Class 132 and variants" be right?
If anyone wants to split into separated articles please feel free to do so.
The article is short of inline references as the source (german wikipedia page) didn't have any.
I'll attempt to find some in the future.
Possible the sections could be rearranged for a better reading experience - my primary aim was to get the information in - if anyone want's to suggest changes in this regard please feel free to do so.

Talk:Leibniz formula for determinants

message: Is the "physisists formula" usinge the Levi-Civita symbols correct? As I understand it, there is a 1/n! missing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 131.130.26.227 (talk • contribs) 14:03, 17 August 2006  (UTC)
:So there was. I've now written the formula in a manner which obviates the need for the prefactor and makes the connection with the first formula more transparent. -- Fropuff 05:35, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

message: In the proof, the reason why the n-tuples are reduced to the permutations is missing.  The reason why the ordered n-tuples (k_1, \dots, k_n) are reduced to the permutations is because F is alternating, and therefore F(E^{k_1}, \dots, E^{k_n}) is zero for all n-tuples (k_1, \dots, k_n) that repeat indices. Jeff Wu 01:11, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  A part of the proof is missing 

message: The proof shows that if F is a function that satisfies the conditions, then F is equal to the Leibniz function. This shows the uniqueness of a solution. To prove the existence of a solution, you must show that the Leibniz function actually satisfies the conditions. Ceroklis 11:47, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  A second part of the proof is missing :) 

message: This way, it is easier to follow the proof:
:
\begin{align}
F(A)& = F\left(\sum_{k_1 = 1}^n a_{k_1}^1 E^{k_1}, A^2, \dots, A^n\right)\\
& = \sum_{k_1 = 1}^n a_{k_1}^1 F\left(E^{k_1}, A^2, \dots, A^n\right)\\
& = \sum_{k_1 = 1}^n a_{k_1}^1 \sum_{k_2 = 1}^n a_{k_2}^1 F\left(E^{k_1}, E^{k_2}, A^3, \dots, A^n\right)\\
& = \sum_{k_1, k_2 = 1}^n \prod_{i = 1}^2 a_{k_i}^i F\left(E^{k_1}, E^{k_2}, A^3, \dots, A^n\right)\\
& = \cdots\\
& = \sum_{k_1, \dots, k_n = 1}^n \prod_{i = 1}^n a_{k_i}^i F\left(E^{k_1}, \dots, E^{k_n}\right).

thread_title:  Practical examples? 

message: Some source should be supplied that supports calling this the Leibniz formula, and also something to explain why that name is attached to it. Leibniz may have introduced the concept of determinant (in Europe), but this formula seems a bit unlikely to be stated in this generality in that timeframe.

None of both links in the reference section confirm that he has this syndrome. The first reference just lists "mental retardation" as a keyword for his films (that applies well for many other films and actors, including Forrest Gump and Rain Man. The second link is just an arbitrary collection of the "films showing persons with Down's syndrome". The list is compiled by a volunteer and can not be taken as a credible source.
