Talk:Magnitude (mathematics)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

should this

s=\sqrt{u^2+v^2+w^2}

be this

|s|=\sqrt{u^2+v^2+w^2}

or this

\|s\|=\sqrt{u^2+v^2+w^2}

What are you even refering to? I don't see "s" in the article. Aucaman 12:22, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "Propagation of error"

I have removed the new section "propagation of error" added by User:Wykypydya on 13 April, 2007. In my opinion the section was irrelevant, in the context of this article.

I also notice that the author of this section added "fact" and "expert" tags right from the get go. That is a very odd practice. If you don't understand the subject (i.e., if you already need an expert's help before you start writing) then please don't burden the rest of us. Be sure you know what you're writing about, in other words. DavidCBryant 11:23, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
