This article definitely needs more work. -- Mike Hardy
I added some material. Could you explain the poset case a bit more? AxelBoldt 03:44 Nov 18, 2002 (UTC)
I moved material from the euler formula page to this page. I did some merging but the page still needs some more work. MathMartin 22:27, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)
In the line, "If <math>M<math> and <math>N<math> are topological spaces, then the Euler characteristic of their product space <math>M \times N<math> is," I'm not sure how to make the M \times N not look gigantic. 00:49, 29 Dec 2004 (CST)
- I agree that that's a problem. I've fixed it. But it recurs elsewhere in this article. Generally on Wikipedia, TeX looks good when "displayed" and often looks terrible when embedded in lines of text. This is just one of many examples. Many mathematicians who work on Wikipedia seem unaware of or indifferent to the problem, and won't use non-TeX mathematical notation even when it's pretty easy to do so. Some mathematicians are aware of the problem and are opposed to efforts to correct it, for reasons best known to themselves. Michael Hardy 01:11, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
I think it is problem with soft and writers should not do anything about that hopping that it will be improvedsometime, infact I do not understand why not to choose pdf as the standard for wikipedia. Tosha 02:58, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
pdf? Why? Is not postscript universally considered superior to pdf? Michael Hardy 23:24, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- ps is ok, I just do not like how it looks now, and it seems that MathML will improve it just a bit... Tosha 03:42, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
