Hi everyone,

I have decided to try reintroducing an information thread. We will see how it goes.

I want it to be a hub from which interest and discussion threads can be accessed.

I think this is a way of helping to uniting the forum into a little community.

My last wrap, was not not formal and it was not used for long.

My earlier ones give a better idea of what i really wanted but the forum is too big to do it the same now.

ADDRESS OF ORIGINAL WRAP!

http://web2.0calc.com/questions/all-questions-answered-to-this-point

ADDRESS OF WRAP #2!

http://web2.0calc.com/questions/end-of-day-wrap-2

ADDRESS OF WRAP #3!

http://web2.0calc.com/questions/end-of-whatever-wrap-3

KEY DATES :

This forum was founded by Andre Massow on 25 January 2012. Thanks Mr Massow

I discovered it and joined on 28th September 2013.

My first wrap was the 9th January 2014 and I have posted a wrap almost every day until August 2015

A really major restructure of the forum 13th April 2014,

I was given moderator privileges for the first time on 15th April 2014

(What a great birthday present - just one day early )

http://web2.0calc.com/questions/all-questions-answered-to-this-point#r98

CPhill joined 13th March 2014 and became moderator on 11th May 2014.

Alan joined 24th Feb 2014 and became moderator on the 4th May 2015

A second major restructure of the forum. Sun 30th August 2015

I was away traveling for all of September so although made a new wrap it was never used properly.

And that brings us here, to our 4th Forum Wrap.

Here are a couple of questions that caught my eye.

1) Inverse Function Question.

This is a very simple question (high level) but it really made me think. Thanks Rom.

http://web2.0calc.com/questions/maths-question_27015#r2

2) Physics question concerning pressure. Thanks CPhill

http://web2.0calc.com/questions/combined-gas-law-without-p2-t2

3) Also I was helping with a question and I dragged an old post of mine out of the dusty depths.

This is a post that I urge upper high school students to peruse. It is not very difficult and the concepts in it will be of great value to you.

http://web2.0calc.com/questions/how-do-you-find-a-power-function-that-is-graphed

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now I would like to bring your attention to a post by Rom. Thank you for posting this Rom

i-m-concerned-that-we-are-just-doing-people-s-homework-for-them-that-s-no-way-to-encourage-people-to-actually-learn-the-math

Rom is concerned that answerers are answering but they are all too often NOT facilitating learning.

I intend to write a fuller response on Rom's thread, which is where all this discusion really belongs but I will say here, as I have said many times before that I believe that sometimes/often it is not helpful to give answers alone or to give fully worked answers. And, it is definitely not helpful to answer a string of questions that are all of the same type.

Please try to work with the questioners. Give them hints or suggestions. Some of the very best answers are ones that refer the question asker to other resource sites like "mathsisfun", "purplemaths", or you tube clips. These can often explain much better than we can!

Try and encourage the askers to interact with you. If they won't responding to you it would almost always mean that they are not that interested. You are best to leave it and move to the next question.

PLEASE if an answerer is trying to work with a question asker, for example, they may be requesting input from the asker, please consider hard before you give a full answer of your own. This would undermine your fellow answerer and I think that it is important that answerers are seen to support one another.

I have more to say but it will be said on Rom's thread.

PLEASE RESPOND TO ROM. We need to know what your attitude is. Answerers need to understand each other so that we can work together with more efficiencey and harmony. :)

If you want to comment on teaching verses answering, please do so on Rom's thread. If you want to comment on other matters please do so on the Lantern Thread.

Thank you

I think that is the for my first entry in "What is happening" Enjoy your day

Hi everyone,

A very big thank you to our answerers, Saseflower, CPhill, Heureka, Gilbertx5 and Will8537.

There was no where near enough time to answer all questions or check all answers today, this happens quite often.

REMEMBER: Priority goes to members. I believe credit has been given to all member answerers and that all member questions have been answered by someone. If yours has not been answered perhaps it is because it does not make sense or more likely for higher level question, no-one with the knowledge to answer was on today.

Interest Posts:

If you ask or answer an interesting question, you can private message the address to me (with copy and paste) and I will include it. Of course only members are able to do this. I quite likely will not see it if you do not show me.

1) What to order? I found this really confusing. Melody

2) This is a simple vector question. Could someone knowledgable take a quick look please.

Good evening from Australia,

It has been 2 days since my last wrap and answer credits go to ChoZerr, Alan, Heureka, Namodesto, Jeanne, CPhill, Mormert, Nauseated, Will 85237, Linlee, Lonelyparellel, Saseflower and Muhum.

Thank you, I really appreciate all you great work.

I for one, have given up trying to view all questions. For me, priority lies with member questions and also with checking member answers and allocating points and ticks. I think I have found a way that I can do this, at least for the moment until the forum grows bigger still.

I will of couse continue to answer as many other questions as possible and am always looking for those that have the right degree of interest challenge about them. This is the same for all answerers, we are most enthusiastic about the questions that are at a good level for us.

There has been one would be new member "juriemagic" tell me that he cannot log on. I have told him to identify himself at the beginning of the post and I will endeavour to prioritize him as I would any other member.

I wonder how many other people are having this problem. ://

Hi Melody

In response to your query ' I wonder how many other people are having this problem '.

It's been a problem for me ever since the restructuring at the end of August, and it's why you rarely see me logged in these days. I get a message saying that I need to enable cookies, I do that but it has no effect. I notified someone at 2.0calc.com at the time (and received a response), but the problem has not been resolved.

I am able to login using my tablet, but I hate the touch screen, particularly when trying to type in stuff using LaTex, so I rarely use it, for maths that is.

The problem might be caused by the security software that's on my PC, I've messed around with that, but without success.

It would be good if we could get this sorted.

Best wishes

Bertie.

PS. Hope you enjoyed your trip to England.

Melody · Answer 21 · 2015-11-06T11:40:34

Thanks Bertie,

I was wondering why you had become so scarce.

I wonder if that is why so many of our regulars have stopped appearing?

I just thought that they did not like the new forum.

I will let Andre know that this is an ongoing problem and maybe he will fix it. :)

Yes I did have a good trip to England, thanks :)

I was hesitant to include this post because I do not want people thinking I am big noting myself.

I noted that there are a number of mathematicians working the forum and some are much better mathematicians than I am. (I do not know all their qualifications but I know by the work they produce)

It is just that some of the question askers are wondering about the regular answerers' skills and I do not think it hurts to satisfy their curiosity and let them know that they are dealing with very knowledgable people, who are also being very generous with their time.

We have had some wonderful answers from Meghara, CPhill, Heureka, DoctorNewton, Omi67, LordEnedar, Rom, Alan and TMga2yb. A big thank you to each of you.

Forum Issues:

I have sent a letter to Mr. Massow today discussing the new forum and addressing some of the problems that we are having. Mr. Massow is the owner and developer of web2.0calc.com. In particular I talked about the access problems that some people are experiencing and our need for a reliable search function to search for a member's posts. I did discuss other issues as well and

I gave Mr. Massow the address of the forum thread where various issues have been discussed over this past week. I will let you know if there are any further developments in regards to this.

Hi all,

There has been 2 days worth of great questions and answers. Our intrepid answerers were Alan, CPhill, Heureka, Syakirah159, Dragonlance, Twisted2017, adylyn_rae, TMga2yb, Shaniab29544, Bracefaceshae, Rom, Mathkid, Mellie, Will85237 and many guests. Thank so much. Without our wonderful answerers this forum would not exist.

1) It is really good to see young people playing on the forum again - it has been a while.

Unfortunately you are all guests. Please join up or at least use names in your posts so that people can get to know you. You will find it a lot better that way, really you will.

6) Binomial Probability - I think it is right. Melody

http://web2.0calc.com/questions/probability-question_3

7) Mellie questions - geometry Not answered.

I would have answered at least some of these earlier but they disappeared!

It was really weird. I thought I saw one very early today but when I looked for it later I could not find it - and I spent a fair amount of time looking too. This happened to me last time Mellie posted too. I look for icons, maybe her icon does not always display? It is a real puzzle to me. Anyway, none of these have been answered yet. Maybe they were hidden from other people as well ???

It will be so much better if Mr Massow reintroduces our ability to search for a user's posts via their member page or the search feature.

Lets see, Anonymous4338 has been back for a week or so, DragonSlayer554 returned yesterday, TitaniumRome made his presence felt today.

It is very important to be very vigilant in any social setting and the internet is certainly no exception.

Please be very conscious of your own safety and of other user's safety. Never give out personal information and do not be tempted to leave the forum to chat via email or facebook. Socialise within the forum or with private messaging.

If someone makes you uncomfortable, DO NOT RESPOND TO THEM ! And let me or CPhill or Alan know about it.

Some posts on this thread rang alarm bells in my head. Please READ what i have written within the thread.. Some of it is repeated but not all and it is important for all of us to be reminded of all this over and over again!

Forum / answerer considerations. Thanks Riddler

Please add your thoughts.

http://web2.0calc.com/questions/common-issues

The forum is doing some really weird things.

Sun night, when I tried to remove threads from my watchlist, and once when I wanted to post a new solution, the thread was downloaded to my computer instead.

And then, my wrap lantern from Sunday, which was still there (whenI paste the address straight into the address bar)

http://web2.0calc.com/questions/wrap-lantern-sun-29-11-15

Was no where to be seen in the 'questions list' - Today it has returned again. ://

This happened to me once before when I was looking for one of Mellie's questions.

Also some of the posts are displaying and then going blank later on. Anonymous4338 gave a detailed answer to a question, and then the question disappeared. I mean it was still there but it was just white space. And I saw other threads like this as well. Weird!!!

Also the picture insert was not working. I have seen some recent pics, maybe it is working now or maybe members have been following Alan's instructions on how to post a pic when the normal method is not working.

How can you post a picture when the picture upload on the forum is not working properly ?

Hi everyone,

Well the forum is definitely alive with members and activity. There is no way that all questions were answered or that all answers were checked. As desirable as this would be it is totally impossible on our busier days. :(

Anyway we have lots of dedicated answerers which is fabulous. Today these were gabbifluker, LambLamb, CPhill,Alan, Hayley1, Anonymous4338, HaleyWoodall17, Riddlet, buubleman, GenericUserName, Saseflower, xXForeWraithXx, and Heureka. Thanks everyone.

Etiquette for social posting

Social posting is fine but you need to keep these social posts to a small number threads.

The vast majority of threads must be used for mathematics queries. If the forum is clutterred with social content then the real questions end up getting overlooked. I have written more on this in the post below. Please read it

If people persist in creating new threads instead of posting on the end of ongoing threads they may find that their posts are deleted. You can find the current existing threads via the 'answer' page tab :)

The forum is too big and I have been too busy to really know what is going on If you answer a question and you believe your answer is correct and reasonably well explained then I strongly advise you to give yourself 5 stars.

It is Australia Day! 26th Jan 1788

It is also Republic Day in India 26th Jan 1950 Rosala taught me that! Thank Rosala

It is kinda funny, Rosala is celebrating the day when her great country became a republic.

And, Australia is clebrating the day when the United Kingdom dumped 11 sailboat loads of it unwanted criminals on our shore. Sometimes you just gotta be Australian or you just won't get it LOL !

I tried to put an India picture in but the post was playing up and sat over the top of the writing - weird!

Hi all,

It has been a long time since my last wrap, my question and answer checking has not been at its best.

I have been really busy and I will continue to be really busy for a while yet. But, I wll do the best I can :)

Answer credits are awarded to CPhill, Alan, Heureka,Solveit, Rarinstraw1195, OneDirection, Hayley1, Will85237, gibsonj338, InjustaGod, Katie-Leigh, ~jc, Dragonlance, DragonSlayer554, Coldplay

and WhyIsEveryNameTaken? I had to laugh at that one, welcome to the forum WIENT

A very big thank you to each and every one of you

What is happening:

1) Mistress Katie-Leigh has been employed by Queen Guinevere as a Lady in Waiting (In training) She has been assigned to Head Mistress Melody where she is carrying out all manner of very important tasks. She she is now a representative of the Royal Court so it is imperative that she acts with great dignity at all times. It is also very important that others of the forum hold her in the High esteeme that her Office affords her.

2) Admin has been on quite a bit lately. He probably introduced all sorts of great things that I haven't even noticed yet

BUT here is one I do know about.

We now have the ability to block and unblock specific members from messaging us.

Hayley (I think) says it is not working properly, well let us know if you find it isn't working, hopfully they will only be teethng problems and Admin will have it working real well soon.

The button is found at the bottom of the members private message page.

This will be really good to stop those nuisance messagers, I am interested in feed back on exactly how it works that is assuming it does work LOL :D

Hi everyone,

As most of you would be aware, I have been away and I have not been very active on the forum for the last 2 or 3 weeks. I have not been collecting names of answerers but I greatly appreciate all the help that every answerer gives

What is happening:

1) 26th January was not just Australia Day AND not just Republic Day in India.

26th January is also

Birthday of Camelot's Valiant Protector, TitaniumRome!!

Happy belated birthday TR. I hope it was a great day!

2) What else? How should I know, I've not been here LOL

I did notice something this morning

There used to be 5 forums here: English, German, Spanish, French and Russian.

I knew that the Russian forum, which was not being used, was removed a while back but I noticed this morning that it has been replaced by HINDI

Hindi is one of the official languages of the Union of India and it is the first language for 180 million people.

My goodness that is a lot of people !! Australia only has 24 million people! I digress........

We have many Indian members and guests on the forum. Perhaps some of those can get some good use from the new Hindi Maths Forum. Thanks Mr. Massow for organising this forum for the 180 million potential users. It will be great to see it come to life.

You can click into any of the forums from the bottom of most screens.

Just click into the one that you want (This is what it looks like)

Hi everyone,

It's been a quiet Saturday/Sunday. Not that many good questions but more than our fair share of nuisance posts that had to be deleted.

Anyway:

Threre are ALWAYS some good questions and they are ALWAYS accompanied by good and interesting answers.

Today our industrious answerers are CPhill, rarinstraw1195, Dragonslayer554, Amberella, asinus, gliu1, BruceWayne, Heureka, Solveit, Geno3141 and Hayley1.

Thank you all for your enthusiasm and your great answers

Communications:

I will now take this opportunity to talk about this problem of obnoxious posts and posters

A person who makes these unpleasant posts is looking for a reaction - any reaction! As soon as you put words into a reply post you are giving this person exactly what they want, you are giving them attention! If you do not respond at all the person can derive no reaction thrill. It would feel to him like he is trying to prod a brick wall. He'll get bored with that very soon and go find a different playground that might be more fun.

SO PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND AT ALL!

Yesterday I gave a happy belated birthday message to TitaniumRome. Titanium, InjustaGod and Rarinstraw all expressed their pleasure and the break in the wrap drought. Thanks guys, Titanium also gave me a peice of his birthday cake. Since forum cakes are non-diminishing, I would like to share it with all of you. ENJOY!

Good evening everyone

Our great answers were delivered today by CPhill, Heureka, Solveit, rarinstraw1195, danielr_ddrp, asinus, admin and User101.

Thanks guys (and girls) :)

What is happening:

1) Our obnoxious poster from yesterday has been banned from the forum so it was very pleasant today :)

2) OUR FORUM HAS HAD A BIG UPGRADE

IT INCLUDES:

- Better profanity filter to screen out bad words.

- Pictures will be screened better to check they are appropriate.

- It is now possible to respond to a specific post within a thread.

- Non-members can no longer give points

- You can no longer give yourself points any more

- Moderators now have the ability to close threads so they cannot be added to.

Since he was so new to Camelot permision was denied. But, he has been given an apprenticeship as a Black Smith at Cyberswords.

Good day to you all,

I have not done a wrap since Sat 20th Feb 16

I have not been on the forum much, I am just too pre-occupied with other issues.

I have not been keeping lists of names, sorry.

Forum News:

Mr. Massow has continued to make changes to try and make the forum better for us. There have been some positive changes, for instance, it is now a little easier for the moderator to get rid of garbage posts and we can close threads as well. Most decent people who use the forum understand the need for moderators to be able to delete or hide offensive posts.

We are supposed to be able to edit our posts. This facility has not worked for perhaps a couple of weeks. Anyway I have written to Mr Massow and asked if he can fix this. I have not heard back as yet. I am sure Mr Massow is very busy, but I will remind him in the next couple of days if I do not hear from him first.

Camelot News:

1) Officials of Camelot Melody

2) Great news of Camelot's Playhouse. Introducing Romeo and Juliet. More to follow. Thanks SpawnofAngel.

Good day to you all,

I have not done a wrap since Sat 7th May 16, and that was the first one since Feb 16.

I stopped doing them because the forum got too big and I was too busy with other things.

At this stage I do not intend to start them again on a remotely regular basis but there were a couple of interesting post today and I just wanted people to see them.

I am sorry, I know many of you post and answer very interesting questions very often and I do not even see them anymore. I am sad about this. If you send them to me by private message and I have time I will post them in a wrap for you so that other people can see them too.

Forum News:

I was just reading my last news entry and the problem is the same. Most people cannot edit their posts! This is a real pest and it is one of the reasons that I stopped writing the wrap. Collecting the questions just became too difficult when i could not edit the thread that they were entered into. Soon I will apprach Mr Massow about this again but being realistic the problem is not likely to go away.

Camelot News:

Camelot seems to have been defeated.

The King is still off at the crusades. Queen Guinevere has not been doing a good job of ruling in his stead. The ghost has been silent. The Doctor, Morgan Tudd, has not been seen in months. Sir CPhill and Sir Alan are here but they seem to be in disguise. I have heard no more news of Sir CPhill's search for the Roman Zero. He knows it is in Sisyphus's boulder but still he has not retrieved it. I did see Mistress Katie Leigh recently but she was vas very quiet. I did not even hear her school keys jangling. Maybe our reporter HeatherF, is off soing war correspondence with the King. I have not seen her.

Mathematics posts:

I am sure that there has been a great many excellent questions and answers but unfortunately I have not seen them. :(

1) Max posted this one and Heureka and I answered it. Thanks Heureka :)

http://web2.0calc.com/questions/sequence_14972

2) This one was asked a while ago and I have been talking to Bertie about it. I really like the explanation that Bertie gave, I think other members could learn from Bertie's answer too :)

Plus, I always find these combinatory questions interesting.

http://web2.0calc.com/questions/plz-help-me-fast

Repeat offer:

I know that there were other good questions and ansswers but I have not collected them. Like I said, I invite people to send the addresses of good questions/answers to me by private message and if I have time I will include them in a wrap like this one. They do not need to be high level questions or answers, they just need to be interesting questions, or answers that you think are worthy of recognition. They can be your own answers or someone elses.

Please take advantage of my offer
