Talk:Lucasian professor
From Academic Kids
I have doubts about the use of the lower-case "p" in this case. Michael Hardy 23:18 Apr 27, 2003 (UTC)
I agree. Tannin
I have changed it, because most places where I see it was lower case: several articles used [[Lucasian Professor|Lucasian professor]], 1911 encyclopedia use lowercase, ... If you think it better upper case, I will rechange them all to uppercase. -- Looxix 23:41 Apr 27, 2003 (UTC)
- Just to be sure (I don't myself if it should be lower or uppercase), I checked in my History of Mathematics by D. E. Smith nad he also use lowercase. So, I think lowercase should be acceptable. -- Looxix 23:54 Apr 27, 2003 (UTC)
Looks like a doubtful one, then Looxix. I would have imagined that, as a formal title, it would be capitalised, but if it's as frequently lower case as upper, then so be it. You might as well leave it as it stands. Sounds like it doesn't mater either way. Tannin
