Should posting on Meta affect reputation? When we launched this community, we did not yet have the ability to set different reputation grants for different categories. We've had this for a while but we failed to follow up before now, sorry. Do you want us to change posts on Meta to not award rep for upvotes or subtract it for downvotes? ... (more) |

A: LaTeX formulas not rendered correctly in summary This problem is now fixed, but you can't see the fix here because previews are turned off. Previews are turned off because of this problem -- rendered Mathjax can be very tall and that did unfortunate things to the category page. We're happy to turn previews back on if that's what folks want. At l... (more) |

A: Posts with math are very, very tall in the feed Oh my. The new preview shows the first N characters of a post (default N=200). But a MathJax character can consume rather a lot of space. I'm going to disable the previews on this community for now. Please decide as a community whether you want them, and if so we'll figure out a value that wo... (more) |

A: Why doesn't \$ work? Testing a fix: \$1 - that was written as `\$1` . I'm not fluent in MathJax, so I'll point to the PR and the associated issue for those who would like to take a closer look. I'm marking this status-complete based on those discussions; please let me know if there's still a problem. (more) |

A: How to get rid of the tag ordinals? We don't have a way to outright delete tags yet, but moderators can merge a tag into another tag. After confirming that `ordinals` still had 0 posts, I merged it into `ordinal-numbers`. You shouldn't see the former show up in tag suggestions now, and it's not visible in the tags list. (more) |

A: Should there be more than one sort of math community? I'm not a mathematician so maybe I'm missing something, but I would think that "When I see a problem like this, what methods or theorems should I think of to solve it?" would be an appropriate type of question. It starts with a problem and asks not for a formula or proof but, instead, methods. Simi... (more) |

How can we grow this community? Codidact's communities have a lot of great content that is helping people on the Internet. Our communities are small, though, and sustainable communities depend on having lots of active, engaged participants. The folks already here are doing good work; our challenge is to find more people like you ... (more) |

Please welcome your new moderator, Peter Taylor Math has been running without any community moderators for a while. This is not ideal from a community-building perspective, and with this community in particular, it's also far from ideal for Codidact staff members who are not math-fluent to be the ones evaluating flags and handling other issues. ...

A: What story and TWO-digit Natural Numbers best fit Bayes' Theorem chart? Thinking that I had acted on my own for reasons forgotten, I reopened it in response to this question. The questions do sound awfully similar -- that the methods that answer one would also answer the other -- but I'm not a math expert. It's now been pointed out that this was flagged as a duplicat...

A: MathJax rendering freezes post editor The rendering happens when auto-save runs. We weren't able to solve the problem directly (something something Javascript is single-threaded something), but there is now a preference to disable auto-saving, which is a work-around. Go to your user profile and then to the "preferences" tab. Be sure... (more) |

Who should the temporary moderators be? It's been a couple months since I asked this and we've gained some new community members in the meantime, so I'm bumping this again. As we have set up communities here on the Codidact network we've been appointing temporary moderators. Ultimately, of course, we want each community to choose i... (more) |

A: Scope of site (comparison with CrossValidated) Welcome! Mathematics is a new community and so its scope is still being defined. Discussion on the community proposal included this as a starting point, which the community here should further refine: > Scope for this site would include: > > - all branches of theoretical and applied math: al...

This community is starting "from scratch", without importing Q&A from other sites, so your community can set its own direction.[^1] Please ask questions about maths in the Q&A categor... (more) |
