From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
What about the mathematical meaning of "index"?

[edit] I know it may be redundant
If you see purposeless linking to "main articles" despite the whole article being there, don't worry. I plan on turning this page into a disambiguation page. MessedRocker 01:48, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] VOTE!! - HDI in Infobox#Countries|country infobox/template?
The Human Development Index (HDI) is a standard UN measure/rank of how developed a country is or is not. It is a composite index based on GDP per capita (PPP), literacy, life expectancy, and school enrollment. However, as it is a composite index/rank, some may challenge its usefulness or applicability as information.
Thus, the following question is put to a vote:
Should any, some, or all of the following be included in the Wikipedia Infobox#Countries|country infobox/template:
- (1) Human Development Index (HDI) for applicable countries, with year;
- (2) Rank of country’s HDI;
- (3) Category of country’s HDI (high, medium, or low)?
YES / NO / UNDECIDED/ABSTAIN - vote here
Thanks!

A use of "index" omitted here is that in mechanics where a movable part is held in any of a set of fixed positions by an indexing device, often a spring-loaded ball. SilasW 16:22, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Article
I am wondering if anyone could clear this for the use of the word index, us as used in US Dollar Index and Trade Weighted US dollar Index, to wheather they are capitalized or not. Talk page on Wikipedia Enlil Ninlil 04:33, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
