Welcome to ProofWiki! Since you're new, you may want to check out the general help page. It's the best first stop to see how things are done (next to reading proofs, of course!). Please feel free to contribute to whichever area of mathematics interests you, either by adding new proofs, or fixing up existing ones. If you have any questions please feel free to contact one of the administrators, or post your question on the questions page.

Here are some useful pages to help get you started:
 * Community Portal - To see what needs to be done, and keep up to date with the community.
 * Recent Changes - To keep up with what's new, and what's being added.
 * Check out our house style if you are keen on contributing.
 * Main Page talk - This is where most of the main discussions regarding the direction of the site take place. If you have any ideas, please share them!

Some notes
Thank you for the brilliant job on Equivalence of Definitions of Vector Cross Product‎.

Some pointers for future work:

a) Note the eqn template and its use. It's a complicated beast, but deliberately so, in order to present equations in the neatly structured style that is the trademark of.

b) I have increased the scope of numbering of all the equations in use, so as not to have to refer back to things like "the such-and-such equation above", allowing more precise insight. (I have a dream that one day there will be computer apps smart enough to be able to understand and interpret raw pages -- that day may not be so far off).

c) I have made cosmetic tweaks to the $\LaTeX$ code as can be noted. Examples: 1) in the squaring of subscripted entities I have enclosed the variable in curlies so as to make it clear that the index applies to the subscripted variable (it makes it look better), 2) to put a space between each variable label, 3) some of the links have been amended.

Again, big thanks for this, it's been a gap that needed to be plugged. --prime mover (talk) 08:53, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

rotations
Thank you for your additions to the category of rotations, it's useful stuff for when we need to populate oour examples categories. We're a long way off yet, it's not an area I've ever excelled in. When you get to 3D it's seriously hard work.

I can't understand getting hung up over whether a rotation is clockwise or anticlockwise.


 * Sorry, what I mean to say is: can you implement a page explaining it in detail for people you are trying to explain to? --prime mover (talk) 17:56, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

Rather than implement a separate page for each one, you can write just one page explaining why, when you travel anticlockwise in a negative direction, you are going clockwise.

Please feel free to try and explain it, even if just at the level of "it's a convention" referencing the 3D version (which to an extent covers the plane version just not very explicitly). All this stuff is under coordinate systems. To get there start with analytic geometry, click on the link defining the coordinate space and/or axes, and things will start to appear. --prime mover (talk) 17:55, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
