I expanded the new biography Ivar Stakgold greatly (previously a {bridge-game-stub}). As academic applied mathematician he earned a 70th birthday volume in his honor, c1996. WP:CAT {20th-century mathematicians} altho he is living, emeritus. {maths rating} on the Talk page.
I used as sources Library of Congress online catalog records and enhancements and the Mathematics Genealogy Project, with some references that are fullish but free form. Planning to leave a notice here, I provided fullish edit summaries and some comments (especially at Ivar Stakgold#Books). I hope they help.

An announcement at the wikitech-l mailing list says that logged-in users now have an option to enable MathML rendering at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering. I think it's saying that Internet Explorer would fallback to SVG. Also, there are a couple of editing tricks (create an anchor and display inline/block). Johnuniq ( talk) 02:21, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
\tfrac{dy}{dx}=3x^2
or {\scriptstyle \frac{dy}{dx}}=3x^2
with the \scriptstyle in { } so the whole equation is not rendered small. I'm generally against specific hacks to make the equation look nice as there are so many different ways to view equations and a hack might work in one method and not another.--

\textrm
command causes a couple of problems. With png rendering it needs \,
to force spaces between words and spaces are ignored so <math>\textrm{A\,B C}</math> is rendered as "A BC". In MathJax <math>\textrm{A\,B C}</math> is rendered as "A\,B C". The solution is to change to the \text
command which preserves spaces.I set my preferences for MathML and then I could no longer see anything coded in TeX. All I see is "[Math Processing Error]". This persists even after I've changed my preferences back to what they were. Michael Hardy ( talk) 06:16, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

For editors, there are also two new optional features:
1) You can set the "id" attribute to create math tags that can be referenced. For example, the following math tag
<math id="MassEnergyEquivalence"> E=mc^2 </math>
can be referenced by the wikitext
[[#MassEnergyEquivalence|mass energy equivalence]]
This is true regardless of the rendering mode used.

Hello mathematicians. This old AfC submission will soon be deleted as a stale draft. Is this a notable topic, and should the page be kept and improved instead? — Anne Delong ( talk) 12:44, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
I post this here because I suspect the page has few watchers. I find the article very nice, it is crisp and clear. The page rating should be changed, but there is not a single inline citation. I can (and will) add a couple, but my access to functional analysis literature is limited (to John B Conway's A course in Functional Analysis). Some help appreciated. YohanN7 ( talk) 16:04, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
On Talk:Symmetry, I have proposed a major revision to symmetry which would remove the geometry portion and replace it with low-difficulty description and link to the new page, as well as simplifying the physics portion by moving relevant material to the pre-existing article symmetry (physics). I have a sample draft available at User:Brirush/sandbox, and I would be interested in hearing feedback before taking any action. Brirush ( talk) 18:52, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
There is a discussion at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2014 November 4#Numbers for deciding if Numbers should remain a redirect to Number or should be redirected to Number (disambiguation). Further opinions are needed to reach a consensus. D.Lazard ( talk) 16:53, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
Can someone check if the article Inductive probability makes any sense? — Ruud 09:43, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
Also I have done the maths as text, which works alright because the maths is not difficult. However I dont have references (other than to other wiki pages). Honestly I find it difficult to read scholarly articles. I am not an academic. So maybe my page is not useful to anyone else. Thats OK.
Dear mathematicians - is there anything in this old draft that should be kept? — Anne Delong ( talk) 23:57, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
I'd like to let you know about the nomination of the article Alexander Grothendieck for ITN at Wikipedia:In the news/Candidates#Alexander Grothendieck. It isn't posted yet due to concerns on article quality, mostly referencing. Cenarium ( talk) 14:36, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
I can't view Artin transfer (group theory) (primarily edited by DanielConstantinMayer ( talk · contribs)) when logged in — it's ok logged out or probably with different math rendering preferences — because it's huge and packed with formulas that cause the Wikipedia servers to choke. Instead I get the error message "Sorry, the servers are overloaded at the moment. Too many users are trying to view this page. Please wait a while before you try to access this page again. Timeout waiting for the lock".
I was looking at it to see what should be done about the proposed merge between this and Transfer (group theory), which appears to be on the same topic in much more high-level terms. The "Transfer" article is not much more than a stub, but I think the other one goes too far to the other extreme, so some trimming and attention to WP:TECHNICAL is in order. Maybe some group theory expert here would like to take this on? — David Eppstein ( talk) 07:07, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
User talk:Morcohen2 insists on adding material on Diophantus that's not properly sourced. He did it twice from his account and once from IP in the past 24 hours. Tkuvho ( talk) 13:17, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

The naming of Category:Zero and Category:One is under discussion, see Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2014_November_19#Numbers] -- 67.70.35.44 ( talk) 07:34, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
An issue has come up at Student's t-distribution, where a user doesn't like the existing phrasing, "In probability and statistics, Student's t-distribution (or simply the t-distribution) is a family of continuous probability distributions that arise when... " -- complaining that the subject-verb agreement is wrong.
He's made three alternative proposals so far, most recently diff, none of which seem to me to work.
Apparently he finds the existing version "awkward and bizarre" (as he put it in a lengthy discussion on my talkpage). It seems fairly regular mathematical usage to me. But, rather than the two of us just go backwards and forwards, it does seem to me that we could use some external input here. So, although it seems rather a trivial thing to bring here, I would be grateful for some wider community input. Thanks, Jheald ( talk) 23:32, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
Quotient by an equivalence relation is an article that can be immensely improved. Remind me to look at it some time over this weekend. (And look at it yourself!) Michael Hardy ( talk) 04:54, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

I have nominated addition as a good article. It is well-sourced, covers all major topics, etc. Due to the simple nature of the subject, it should not take someone with an advanced background to review it (I believe it mentions Dedekind cuts, but that's about as bad as it gets).
