When you say “Started writing one of those” Do you mean a blog in general, or a “simple mathematics of everything” in particular? 1000 pages is a pretty decent contribution. What happened to all those pages?
I’ve encountered proof wiki before- its certainly a useful resource, but perhaps not precisely what I am working towards.
Hey...
I’m new here. Hi.
I was recently re-reading the original blogs (e-reader form and all that), and noticed a comment by Eliezer something to the effect of “Someone should really write ‘The simple mathematics of everything’ ”.
I would like to write that thing.
I’m currently starting my PhD in mathematics, with several relevant side interests (physics, computing, evolutionary biology, story telling), and the intention of teaching/lecturering one day.
Now… If someone’s already got this project sorted out (it has been a few years), great… however I notice that the wiki originally started for it is looking a little sad, (diffusion of responsibility perhaps).
So… if the project HAS NOT been sorted out yet, then I’d be interested in taking a crack at it: It’ll be good writing/teaching practice for me, and give me an excuse to read up on the subjects I HAVEN’T got yet, and it’ll hopefully end up being a useful resource for other people by the time I’m finished (and hopefully even when I’m under way)
I was hoping I could get a few questions answered while I’m here: 1) Has “the simple mathematics of everything” already been taken care of? If so, where? 2) Does anyone know what wiki/blog formats might be useful (and free maybe?) and ABLE TO SUPPORT EQUATION. 3) Any other comments/advice/whatever?
Cheers, Babblefish.
