with our articles.) Also, the criticisms of the lead of exterior algebra are difficult to take personally, since part of me agrees with many of them. The current draft is something of an experiment in a different writing style for me. It seems to have been more successful than I would have thought, although less so than I could have hoped. Thanks again for the comments. I have edited based on these, and responded to them. Best,
629:. I'm a little worried that the new lead runs afowl of the lead guidelines (that the lead is supposed to summarize the article), but I suppose that is sometimes relaxed to various degrees, and at any rate there were rather vociferous complaints that the lead needed to contain more information that would be useful to a "non-expert" reader. I would value any comments that you could make. Thanks, 552: 707:
The discussion there had its tense moments for me, but my anxiety was unrelated to the current discussion of the exterior algebra lead. (Indeed, it seems like a relief to be working in a definite constructive direction, rather than engaging in pointless abstract debate about how things ought to be

Hm, looks like I should have written 2^{2-m} instead of 2^{2+m}. Good catch! In the current revision, though, I don't understand the logic anymore: what does the last bit "with m chosen so that p bits of precision is attained." mean? I would prefer the previous wording (of course, with the correct

It does not use png images; it merely prevents line breaks, and sets the variables in a nicer serif font than the default sans-serif (in which it can be very difficult to distinguish l from I from |). — 625:, especially the new lead, please? This is an article that I have been wanting to bring up to scratch for some time, but there doesn't really to have been much broad interest in doing so until now following a discussion at 851:
I personally dislike what you call "nicer". I don't want to start again one of these fruitless formatting discussions, but I think it is fair standard not to change the whole article's formatting without talking?

was an extraordinarily bad edit. That Euclid's proof was by contradiction is false and is unfair to Euclid. It is true that quite a few respectable mathematicians assert this. Dirichlet was one of those.

Catherine Woodgold demolishes the myth and also shows why the proof by contradiction is inferior to the one that Euclid wrote. I've cited it in the article.
