the situation being dominated by a person who keeps asking you to serve his needs is indignant and annoying.

when you refuse his request more than once, he still demands you and even does that in a coercive manner.

his demands are either obscene or frivolous

there is really no rationalization to waste time in that kind of man.

I have so many labor needs without people to serve.

why not let that kind of man to serve these labors?

I'm getting a bachelor degree in Mathematics this summer, and I must choose a master. I'm interested in algebra, mainly in the more abstract/structural aspects of it; to give an idea, I like category theory, Galois correspondences and homological algebra, I don't like numerical subjects for examp...

Hi there - I've been working on implementing ACS style Patent citations using BibTeX/LaTeX, and I've come up against some question about implementation that I'd like y'all to take a look at, if you can.

@TaylorScott Why not try Tex SE? Actually, the answer you received is from one user of Tex SE. As I recall, there are also some high-rep users who are in chemistry, and they are maybe familiar with the style guide.

@MassimoOrtolano - I actually aleady gave Tex.SX and Chemistry.SX chats a shout and asked them to take a look. Both David Carlisle and Marcel Kruger from the TeX chat have been exceedingly helpful, but they haven't said anything regarding the syntax of the citations themselves thusfar

Q: Is it alright to invite a professor to cowrite a paper

I managed to improve the techniques of a year-old paper to get a significantly stronger result. I used original ideas, but a large part relies upon results of the original paper. (to the point that half the paper may be recapping the lemmas of the past paper) Q1) Is it acceptable to ask the auth...
