Mathematics formatting
Hi, I noticed that you've been making some changes to formatting in mathematics and physics articles. There are guidelines on this topic you should be aware of; see MOS:MATH. In particular, I'd like to talk to you about the use of upright differentials (as in dx). I consider this an error; there is no interpretation of dx under which the standard rules of mathematical typography would make the d upright. My own preference would be to eradicate this usage from Wikipedia. However, I'm not the only one with strong feelings on the matter, and there are those who feel equally strongly that dx is an error. In order to keep the peace, Wikipedia generally requires editors not to change articles to conform to a particular style. Changing an article for consistency with itself is okay (i.e., an article should use dx or dx but never both) and consistency with reliable sources is okay (many physics sources write $$\textstyle\int d^3x f(\vec x)$$ and not $$\textstyle\int f(\vec x)\,d^3x$$ like I would), but trying to make all of Wikipedia consistent invites edit wars, and edit wars are a worse evil than inconsistency. The same philosophy is applied to spelling (as in color versus colour) and other stylistic differences; see MOS:RETAIN.

I've undone a few of your changes (but the rest are good, and I haven't touched them). I'd like you to keep editing! We always have room for new editors. I'd particularly like to invite you to WikiProject Mathematics. The wikiproject talk page is the primary place for coordinating work on mathematics articles.

 * Yes, WT:WPMATH would be the place to coordinate changes to the calculus series of articles. If you have a large reorganization to make, then it's easier to discuss it there than to spread the discussion across many individual article talk pages.  However, if all you want to do is add Hessian matrix to Template:Calculus, then you should be bold and just do it.  This sort of thing is encouraged on Wikipedia (and indeed, seems to me to be the best way to get anything done).  Ozob (talk) 00:24, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Will you please comment on what random access memory in general is actually installed for?
Hi. I started this discussion because of an inaccurate edit-warrior. Will you please comment on it? Thanks. 2600:100E:B141:AE59:1B4D:9EA7:5CC5:82E1 (talk) 18:04, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

Will do. Hayazin (talk) 18:45, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
