@mixedmath i self study mathematics sometimes (rarely) i find nice/ natural proofs of theorems which i learn about, is it OK to share these proofs in the blog ?
@leo it's funny that you ask - we don't really have anything set in stone. We do expect posts to have proper grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc., and so it's good to have someone read over them
in any position of responsibility or leadership, there are unexpected things that pop up, and I'm not so good at predicting these. Each editor will have more or less equal say (including in comparison to the mods here).
@Amr With good exposition, I bet so. For a more concrete answer, you could mention a particular idea you have here. I'm sure we'd respond
One particularly good topic for writing is exposition on the recent Fields Medalists and/or their work
Hello, I'm interested in writing an article on introductory actuarial science, aimed at an undergraduate audience. The goal of the article is to show how why insurance companies are better equipped to handle risk efficiently, and what it means for the risk that you and I, as customers, face. To that end, I would present a problem and work a problem on risk management.
@mixedmath: I don't have anything ready yet, but I should be done in a couple of hours. After that, how does the submission process work? Where do I post or send it to?
@nomen Try going to http://math.blogoverflow.com/wp-admin/ and attempt to sign in. You'll notice that you don't see anything at first. This is our only form of spam protection, and you only do it once.
once you go, let me know, and I'll update your privileges to be able to write a draft. Formatting math on wordpress can be a bit of a pain, and feel free to ask if you have a question.
Once you're content with your draft, let this room know, and we'll see what we can do.
@leo You're right - I didn't know about those, and they seem to be nice biographical stories. I suppose all that's left is a good exposition of their work, which is a bit harder
@nomen ok, if you check again, you should now be able to start writing a post
@MikeMiller well, I hope it all works out. I'm afraid I'm stepping out for a bit, but I hope others stop by and are inspired to contribute - my fingers are crossed there too
JLs posts on CD compression codes is the 1st for me also. on an ipad & think also desktop chrome/ IE. is it different for others?
idea: announce new blog posts, maintain history of new posts, maybe in meta. ofc one can scroll thru the blog to see history, but isnt in summary form.
