Would it be possible to change the dictionary or make another version of it so that all the definitions were on the same page? That'd make it far easier to proof-read and in some cases, easier to use as well.

Wow, good feedback so far!

Mathsy: that could be useful for rough proofing, but just the words is not enough - it is best to see them in context with the illustration. It would also be very long.

jl: i shall look at having a letter menu on each page. I need to "beautify" it. I would love to have all the letters sitting inside some beautiful frame, maybe with fractal images and such.

Yes, I hope to link up similar words with something like "(Also See xyz)"

They are not part of the search yet, coz I don't trust the definitions for general use.

Obviously something funny with "I" !

I intend to work on this for the next week or two, then officially "publish" it with a link from the main index page.

But the highest priority is accuracy - don't want to give a wrong definition!!

Just a little thing you might want to add, that natural numbers, integers, rational numbers..., are noted with a blackboard N, Z, Q... Besides that, it's looking pretty good

i think it looks really kl. well done!

why is n q and z more important?

sets? or do you mean nets? nets are the layout of a 3d shape

ooooooo i thought u meant nets!

I meant sets A set is a collection of elements, like devanté showed before. Sets are conventionally denoted with capital letters. You could for example consider the set A={1,2,3,4} or Y={} (empty set, also denoted Ø). Some sets are used often however, for example the set of integers, and because of that you use a font called blackboard bold. ℤ represents the integers (the z comes from the german word Zahlen which means numbers).

Because sets are in everyday life. Why, you are a set yourself. And so am I. And everyone else on the forum, and in the whole world. In fact, existence itself is probably the biggest set imaginable...I think.

cant remember, copied it off some document or website, but can't seem to find it again

"Those letters" are used to denote the different 'kind' of numbers we have. Natural numbers, Integers, Rational numbers, and so on.. The importance of being able to use these sets should be obvious.
