Hi Andrei. Thank you for making an account (I think you are the person I asked that). The above is the standard Wikipedia welcome. It has good links. Another good resource is Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics. On its talk page the math community gathers.
One small request. It is good to put an edit summary when you change a page, as then people know what you did (like the Subject line in an email). I hope you like it here. Privet, Oleg Alexandrov 14:46, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Hi Andrei,
Welcome to wikipedia! Thanks for your recent math edits, although please note that they come awfully close to violating certain wikipedia rules, the rules prohibiting original research. As you add book references, please also include the ISBN number. The manual of style mentioned above encourages the use of a template for book citations. linas 14:51, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Hi Andrei. I have one small remark. It is good to not put a colon after ISBN. Compare:
ISBN: 1584883553
and
ISBN 1584883553.
Without colon, the ISBN becomes a link. Cheers, Oleg Alexandrov 03:13, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I looked through your contributions, and it seems to me that all your contributions have been to add references to your own books, on many articles that you have not otherwise contributed on. Am I missing something? RandomProcess 17:29, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
Dear RandomProcess, what you are missing is that the references provided are made to fundamental handbooks (not articles) and are to the point. They are the most recent, extensive and reliable sources of information on mathematical equations and their solutions. This is what Wikipedia all about, isn't it? The links provided are also to the point. It would be to everyone's benefit if you could suggest similar or better references/links. Alexei Zhurov 06:23, 4 Apr 2006 (BST).
