Talk:Natural number

message: Right now, the various notations for the natural numbers with or without 0 are scattered in several places: in the second paragraph, at the end of "Modern definitions", and in "Notation".  Should these be consolidated?  Also, perhaps it is worth adding the notations \mathbb{Z}_{\ge 0} and \mathbb{Z}_{>0} to the list; in my experience, these are more common than some of the other alternatives listed.

thread_title:  "N (math)" listed at [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion|Redirects for discussion]] 

message: It seems to me that it would be valuable to have a section or sections discussing the way natural numbers are used, rather than only describing their properties.
We should probably have some discussion of how natural numbers are used as a basis for counting, sorting, comparing sizes of finite collections, etc. Are there some particularly important results that are reasonably accessible that could give readers a flavor of what natural numbers are for and what they are about? We might e.g. talk about the dimension of a geometric space, the order of a group, the rank of a matrix, ... We could briefly discuss the cardinality of the natural numbers and how it relates to the cardinalities of other sets (notably, the rational numbers being enumerable but not the real numbers).
Beyond natural numbers per se, they can also be used as a "building block" to construct other kinds of numbers: for instance the integers can be defined as equivalence classes of pairs of natural numbers, where two pairs are considered equivalent if the pairs are the same distance apart; the rational numbers can be defined as equivalence classes of pairs constructed from an integer numerator and a positive integer denominator; the integers modulo n can be taken to be equivalence classes of natural numbers (or integers) where numbers n apart are considered equivalent; the Eisenstein integers can be defined as equivalence classes of triples of natural numbers where triples are considered equivalent if adding the same number to each element in one triple yields the other triple. Etc. etc.

Talk:Normed vector space

message: I think this article should be explicit about the underlying field of the vector space. The norm 
places additional constraints for the field. A norm space is a certain kind of a topological vector space, and 
topological vector spaces are defined over topological fields. The norm outputs a real number, and somehow 
the norm has to be consistent with scaling by a scalar. I'm not sure what the most general route is, anyone?
I'm thinking there should be something like normed fields, of which the reals and complex numbers are
examples.

message: Cite:
:All norms on a finite-dimensional vector space are equivalent from a topological point as they induce the same topology (although the resulting metric spaces need not be the same)
Does it mean that the metric spaces are not homeomorphic?! Or simply they are not isomorphic? The latter, I suppose. Urzyfka  —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 15:44, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Stupid question? 

message: Both forms, "seminorm" and "semi norm" are used in the article. And "semi-normed" also appears. For consistency a single form should be chosen.
The norm article uses "seminorm", so I suggest that.

thread_title:  Seminorm /semi norm consistency 

message: In the introduction it is said that "Multiplying a vector by a positive number changes its length without changing its direction." However, the following formula states that |α||x| = |αx| for all α. If it is assumed that the scalar α is a real number, then clearly this equation is not equal to the verbal statement, since it is possible that α = 0 which is not a positive number. I don't know which statement needs fixing, so someone else will have to do it.

Talk:Numerical analysis

message: Apologies for not making the corrections directly - I'm new here.
In most, if not all, of the places this article uses the term "ill-posed" or "ill posed" (sic), it means ill-conditioned. There's a suitable wikipedia article on "Well-posed problem" to link to and I think it is also used to explain ill-posed.
It is true that x |-> 1/(x-1) is discontinuous at x=1 but the numerical instability of the evaluation is to do with the large gradients close to x=1. Continuity of the square root cannot be given as the explanation for why is it well-condition (if it is well-conditioned).
