I went looking for a volume calculator, saw that this template by Patrick had been userspaced as not ready yet, so I patched it up, and put it back in "Template:" namespace. It produces useful output by default (inline), and can also generate table cells, and do controllable rounding. Added documentation for it.
It does not presently support unit output, nor do conversion. Someone who knows that stuff better than I do can probably integrate such features and make it much more versatile. PS: It's also just doing cubic volume basic calculation, not anything like converting L×W×D/H into gallons or whatever. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 23:04, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

Our article Pure mathematics is an important article, and the current lede is problematic in several ways. Recent edits there have made things worse. Paul August ☎ 14:10, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi. There's a new article, Automorphism group, which I could use someone with more math expertise to take a look at. Thanks. Onel5969 TT me 10:15, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Dear all,
See User_talk:CASSIOPEIA#Isotropy_representation. There is a concern that there might be a concern that concerns the editors of the project. —- Taku ( talk) 14:18, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Constructions in hyperbolic geometry is a new article that could use some work. In particular, there is the question of which other articles should link to it. And there are tasks internal to the article. Michael Hardy ( talk) 19:26, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
I have collected another batch of articles with mathematics-related links to DAB pages. Expert help in solving these problems would be welcome. Search for 'disam' in read mode, and for '{{d' in edit mode; and if you solve one of these puzzles, post {{ done}} here.
Feel free to edit. I have a sneaking suspicion that in a couple of the non-technical articles, either an editor or a source may have been misusing a technical term which they didn't understand. One of the articles which I bookmarked before compiling this list failed to survive WP:AFD, and quite right too.
Thanks in advance, Narky Blert ( talk) 08:49, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

I just did this edit, stating the injective nature of the two-sided Laplace transform. Might someone add a proof somewhere in the article? Michael Hardy ( talk) 04:26, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
There are "well known" fast methods for change of variable in a polynomial, but I am unable to find their description in WP. More specifically, I am interested in the fast computation of and more generally of where p is a polynomial of degree n. For such a change of variable, the standard method is a generalization of Horner's rule, which computes with at most additions and multiplications by r. This method was used by Horner himself, but I ignore how it is called in modern literature. Also, does it exist a faster algorithm (for example using FFT)?
I need this for an article Real root isolation that I am preparing for fixing the mess of Vincent's theorem and Root-finding algorithm#Method based on the Budan–Fourier theorem or Sturm chains. (I have already rewritten, in the same spirit Budan's theorem and the introductory part (before subsections) of Root-finding algorithm#Roots of polynomials).

I am working on Draft:Hole to create a primary topic article for this subject. I was wondering if there is a mathematical definition of a "hole" suitable for inclusion in a very basic level of article. bd2412 T 03:51, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
Totally off-topic, but it might appeal to anyone who (like me) retains a juvenile sense of humour. Benjamin Jowett, in his masterly 19th century translation of Plato's Symposium, has the playwright Aristophanes define love as the 'desire and pursuit of the whole'.

In the lede of Maass cusp form, it seems that Maass cusp forms and Maass wave forms are equivalent, but my non-expert reading of Maass wave form#Definition of a Maass wave form is that the cusp form is a subset of wave forms.
