Sections for more advanced Maths/General math discussion?

[daon]

Does anyone think it might be a good idea to add a section or two? Maybe a section for "Math Theory" to cover subjects like real analysis, modern algebra, topology, combinatorics, group theory, advanced linear algebra etc. Also maybe a general "Math Discussion" section for people who have an idea, are looking for advice or want to share something math related?

Yes, I would agree.

. . . . .add category: probability / statistics
. . . . .add category: arithmetic (that is, K-through-pre-pre-algebra)
. . . . .add category: recreational (not a general-chat "lounge", but
. . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . .interesting math-y stuff, like research results,
. . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . .topic-specific reference sites, "Pi Day", etc.)

. . . . .add to category: diff-EQ to "Calculus"
. . . . .add to category: pre-algebra to "Beginning Algebra"

. . . . .change category: "Other" to "Advanced" (specifically, post-diff-EQ)

Right now, "Other" is taking both third-grade arithmetic and graduate-school complex analysis. These areas could usefully be split, I think. And right now math jokes and interesting articles on new research results have no place to go.

Just an idea....

Good enough for me.

Thanks, Stapel.

Great idea, Ted.
