I felt the need for the two footnotes I added. The problem is that now it breaks the logic of the references section -- my notes fall into referenced Cauchy works... I'm looking for a solution (Cauchy works would better be separate), so if you know some technical means to do that...

Revision as of 03:27, 5 November 2007
A sentence from intro
"He established a convergence criterion for sequences of the type that are now called Cauchy sequences". After quite a long reflection I changed it slightly. It's difficult to keep "criterion" and "Cauchy sequence" in one sentence (perhaps not necessary). Please copy edit. Aleksander Stos 16:20, 3 November 2007 (CDT)
PS. Excellent text! I see an approved article emerging on the horizon.
- I gave the sentence another try, maybe we should consult a native speaker.--Paul Wormer 11:24, 4 November 2007 (CST)
Finished
I have finished Cauchy for now. If licences permit the illustrations would be nice additions. Alek, when you see room for improvement, be my guest. --Paul Wormer 07:35, 4 November 2007 (CST). PS. I just saw that the French WP has a very long thorough article on Cauchy. For people reading French and wanting to know more about Cauchy this article is a must. --Paul Wormer 08:11, 4 November 2007 (CST) . PS2 The German WP version is also good, it looks very much like the CZ version (apparently they also used Belhoste as basis, as I did). It would have helped if I had seen the French and German versions earlier. --Paul Wormer 09:00, 4 November 2007 (CST)
- These images are all good to go. Stephen Ewen 11:06, 4 November 2007 (CST)
