Style
Hi, thanks for the fantastc expansion on Jet bundle! Now for a few critiques: One thing I noticed is that you centered all of the formulas; this is not really the style employed on WP; we prefer to indent. To that end, I'd like to get you to review Manual of Style (mathematics). If in doubt, try to make your articles resemble other pre-existing math articles. Another remark regarding long formulas, and derivations aka "proofs": you might want to review the contents of Category:Article proofs and the discussion it references. In short, there is a lack of consensus as to how much should be shown in the way of derivations in articles. I'm not against providing detailed derivations in articles, but I should note that my view is somewhat controversial. linas 17:58, 9 December 2005 (UTC)


 * And please do take this well: I think that you could be awarded the prize for the "best first-time ever contribution to a Wikipedia math article" (If such a prize existed)! We might need to invent such a prize ... Hmmm.. linas 18:04, 9 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Thanks indeed for your constructive criticism. It will only help my mathematical writing style for here and in my worklife too. Thanks Twalton 19:04, 9 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Ditto. Very nice article!  Although you've now forced me to read this massive thing in detail.  But don't worry, no one will be ripping this apart any time soon.  I see several ways to integrate it better with existing Wikipedia articles, so I may tweak it here and there.  Furthermore, it duplicates some of the contents of jet_(mathematics), but that article takes a different approach (it starts with an intrinsic formulation).  Anyway, I'll stew this over for a bit and see what can be done.  Sometime after the end of term chaos, I should be back in action.  At any rate, thanks for the post!

Very nice expansion. Let's start polishing. -MarSch 11:44, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
