Talk:Euler's continued fraction formula

message: Hi, all!
Just a quick note to outline my intentions for this new article. I intend to present the formula the way Euler did (but in English, not Latin :), then state it in a more modern formulation, then indicate how it fits in with the articles convergence problem and fundamental inequalities, and cap it off with a few examples involving familiar power series (logarithm, exponential, maybe an arctan formula).  DavidCBryant 23:19, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Starting a new page 

message: The continued fraction derived from the Mercator series for logz provides a  cute continued fraction expansion for π when z = i. The algebra is pretty simple, but since it involves a value on the boundary of the circle of convergence for the series, I really should check around for some stuff (like Abel's test for convergence on the boundary) and reference that before sticking the example into this article.  DavidCBryant 20:20, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Connection between complex logarithms and Pi 

message: The 4th note:
^ a b This series converges for |z| = 1, except when z = ±1, by Abel's test (applied to the series for log(1 − z))
makes no sense since it is self-contradictory! It should read:
^ a b This series converges for |z| < 1 by Abel's test (applied to the series for log(1 − z)).

Michael Hardy (talk) 18:26, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  From a deleted article 

message: Currently, the continued fraction for pi is derived by using the continued fraction for the inverse hyperbolic tangent (since  \tanh^{-1} x = \frac1{2} \ln \left(\frac{1 + x}{1 - x}\right)) and then evaluating this when x = i. I propose that the continued fraction for pi be moved to under the continued fraction for the inverse tangent, and evaluating this when x = 1. This is better since it does not involve complex numbers. The continued fraction for the natural logarithm should be for  \ln (1 + x). Eli355 (talk) 13:10, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

message: Uh, no, as I recall even from looking up Spedtrum Range for you the other day; Holland, and bivouac following Holland, put the boundary of the Boundary Ranges along Mess Creek, which is the valley to the west of Edziza/Spectrum.  The Spectrum Range are part of the Spatsizi Plateau......which I think is distinct from the Tahltan Highland, I'll check; seems to me the Big Raven Plateau is part of the Tahtlan Highland, while the �Spcdtrum Range to its south is not.  Guess I'll have to go look at Holland again; didnt want to make this reversal since my last couple of reversals were wrong; but I'm pretty sure about this one, esp. re Boundary Ranges, less so about Tahltan Highland.  the inclusion of the Hankin massif (between the Stikine and Iskut) in the Boundary Ranges has always mystified me; why not part of the Stikine Ranges?  Guess 'cause there's plateau in between (Spatsizi and/or Tahltan).  Anyway, pls go check in Holland, if you downloaded that PDF; he's pretty clear about this.Skookum1 (talk) 16:44, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Year Zero (album)

message: For a featured article, it is missing a lot of information. It's pretty standard for album articles to talk about the individual songs on the album and their composition and style, this article has none of that. The personnel section is unsourced entirely, as is the tracklisting (mostly songwriting credit). quite a few sentences are unreferenced (although this might just be a formatting error in adding a second tag of a source). The Themes and Artwork sections seem rather sparse for how much lore there is for the album. The reception section could be expanded (and why is an alt.press review in the external links?). I know FA standards have changed a lot over the years, but I think this article might have trouble getting GA now with a strict enough reviewer. RF23 (talk) 12:24, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

It is a common term, used very often in cribbage (as cited on the cribbage page) and also now in foosball. As I said above, both have the same meaning.

message: I would dispute the line that says "The Heian kata were a product of Anko Itosu's effort to streamline several kata, namely the Pinan series, into forms suitable for teaching the gross body movement skills of karate to young students."
Since, to all intents and purposes, the heian and pinan kata are identical save for a couple of changes (e.g. cat stance into back stance - which is hardly a "streamlining" process), I would dispute that the heian kata are anything other than the pinan kata with a more Japanese name. Is this the "streamlining" in question? Making the name easier for Japanese speakers? That doesn't tally with the assertion that this was done for the benefit of Okinawan youths. Rather than change the section immediately I thought I'd put it to discussion first. Shinji nishizono 12:49, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
