[edit] Hi, Scott!
Hi, Scott!
I got your e-mail message. It's probably quickest to write to me on my talk page – I don't check my e-mail as often as I probably should.
Yes, I'm interested in creating an article about H.S. Wall, mainly because his book on continued fractions is one of the only references on the subject that was written in the U.S. during the first half of the twentieth century. I think continued fractions are very beautiful, and generally under-appreciated. You might get a kick out of this article.
I think the best strategy for creating Hubert Stanley Wall is to write a couple of articles about his mathematical achievements first. I think he gave the first proof of the parabola theorem, a fairly general convergence theorem about continued fractions with complex elements. I'll try to get that done in the next week or two.
Oh – if you haven't found it yet, there's a handy resource page for mathematicians. And the math guys on Wikipedia discuss quite a few things pretty regularly, on this talk page.
Have a great day! DavidCBryant 13:36, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
