Talk:Floor function

If m and n are coprime integers, then
- ∑1≤i≤n-1 floor(im/n) = (m-1)(n-1)/2.
This identity doesn't in any way help understanding what the floor function is. Nor is it somthing special: there are probably dozens of identities involving the floor function. It disrupts the flow of the article. If you want to include it, please explain why you want to on this page before doing so and try to fit it in with the rest of the article. -- Arvindn 13:57 Dec 23, 2002 (UTC)
If there are dozens of identities involving the floor function, then they should all be listed in this article. Suppressing information certainly doesn't help the reader. But I agree with you that it was disrupting the flow of the article. AxelBoldt 03:14 Dec 24, 2002 (UTC)
same as truncation?
Isn't the floor function just a specific case of truncation? (i.e., truncating the number back to the decimal point) –radiojon 02:14, 2005 Apr 20 (UTC)
Ceiling function
Why is the ceiling function here? It should be in its own article!! It's like having an article about males in the female article... Enochlau 14:30, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
