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!

Another welcome
Many thanks for your recent work, which plugs some holes. Please keep up the good work.

Please note that I have tinkered with your contributions: mainly for structuring and house style (in particular I feel it is important to put spaces between entities in a $\LaTeX$ construct, as it makes it easier to read and to follow -- the compiler does not care, but neat code is easily maintainable code). Also, I have added a few more explanatory steps on your Equivalence of Definitions of T3 Space so as to make it crystal clear as to what follows from what and why. (I'm getting old and dim.)

Incidentally, I was going to write a program to solve the $1009$, $1129$, $1201$ problem, but you beat me to it. Good job. --prime mover (talk) 04:50, 8 April 2020 (EDT)


 * Thanks for sifting through those pile of codes! I know there is merit in keeping codes organised, but I think I have a weird mentality where I appreciate seeing structure in others' works, but adopt a minimalistic approach to my own work. (I have been asked numerous times to make my written answers bigger and clearer)


 * Though I wish to know, how does one find the names (and pages) for the steps in proofs (Empty Intersection iff Subset of Complement, etc.)?


 * The short answer: knowing they are there, because I put them there.


 * The long answer: browse the "proofs" category in the subcategory, starting at "Proofs by Topic" where you would expect to find stuff (e.g. "Set Theory" and then within that "Set Complements"), or do a "what links here" for one of the key components in the proof. Yes, it is quite hard work to find stuff till you get a feel for the naming convention. Browse, browse, browse.


 * It is not intuitive how to get to the bulk of the proofs on by going top-down because we had a clown come on here a few years back who restructured everything according to his own ideas of how he thought the site ought to be structured, and I haven't got round to moving everything back into a new structure where everything's easy to find. --prime mover (talk) 16:25, 8 April 2020 (EDT)


 * For example, I do not know if ($x^n-y^n$ divides $x^m-y^m$ iff $n$ divides $m$) is an established result. RandomUndergrad (talk) 07:29, 8 April 2020 (EDT)
 * I don't think that one is. Browse Category:Algebra for results in that area. --prime mover (talk) 16:25, 8 April 2020 (EDT)
