Re: your question to Karada - a colon at the start of a line indents.

Ah, Thanks! Kevin

Hi! Pentagonal number theorem is excellent! One tip: Start with a complete sentence and follow the highlighting convention (see my editing of that article). Michael Hardy 00:17, 14 Oct 2003 (UTC)

I took another look at the history of auction. The sentence I removed didn't contradict itself, but it contradicted a statement made later in the article. Here are the two statements that I thought contradicted each other:

"These two auctions are theoretically equivalent, a result which has been verified in practice as well."

"These two auctions are also theoretically equivalent, but in practice Dutch auctions will produce less revenue than sealed first-price auctions (one of the important results of Experimental economics)"

They agree on the theoretical equivalence (which I'm certain of anyway,) but not on whether the auctions are revenue equivalent in practice. I chose to remove the first statement, since I was the one who originally wrote it, and I can't remember what I based that on. I figure that someone talking about experimental economics probably knew more about what happens in practice than I do. Isomorphic 16:51, 18 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Hello. Some of your recent edits related to Gröbner bases prompt me to point out that there is no need to write such things as [[algebraic_geometry|algebraic geometry]], since just writing [[algebraic geometry]] suffices. Michael Hardy 23:21, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

random matrix

Hello Kevinatilusa,

I have reverted your edit at random matrix, since it was probably a misunderstanding. What I meant to say is that the only RM ensembles which are both invariant and have independent entries are GUE/GOE/GSE (I used the word "common" in the sense of "intersection", not as "usual"). If you have an idea how to rephrase this sentence more clearly, that would be great,-- I guess it is indeed ambiguous.
