Fun[edit]

This seems for funspacey to me. ТySerious Business Guy 02:32, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Anyone supporting/objecting? TyTy 20:17, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
As it's written, I think this belongs in funspace, but there should probably be a serious article on common errors in math - sign errors, obscured division by zero, variations on the freshman's dream, implied postulates, assuming the converse, etc. Sake Fueled (talk) 00:58, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
Oh, I think I created this one when I moved this cruft out of mathematics. By all means put it in fun. --MarkGall (talk) 01:04, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

0.999...[edit]

Do we have an article on 0.999... = 1? Because it is a hella interesting :3 and not. incorrect~epixSay What? 13:18, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

Looks kinda funny…[edit]

…in that most sections are displaying a message like unto this:

Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":):

in unfriendly red letters. Is it just me, the combination of Chrome and an iPad or the Sinister Forces of a Shadowy Cabal intent on repressing our thirst for knowledge? Mr Larrington (talk) 00:38, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Math has been broken for a while. What's weird is that some of it works, and, for me at least, all of it works when previewing an edit. 𝒮𝑒𝓇𝑒𝓃𝑒 talk 01:14, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
