MIT 18.755 Introduction to Lie Groups

Study hints
What is useful for me is to start by thinking of the most simple Lie Group that I can think of which is a translation left and right. Imagine a group G, whose elements are all "shifts left and right."

The Lie Algebra which corresponds to the Lie group is just a unit vector pointing left, and a unit vector pointing right.

Once I've gotten some initution regarding this, then I make the group a little more complicated by allowing for arbritrary translations.

Help wanted
I think I have a good picture in my mind of what a fiber bundle is, but I need some one to illustrate what a principle fiber bundle looks like.

Roadrunner 14:16, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

 * A fiber bundle is like a generalized vector field. Instead of attaching vectors to each point of a space, we attach fibers, which allows us to talk about different types of behavior. In technical terms, a fiber bundle is a triple (B, T, p) where B is the base space, the space we are interested in, T is the total space: the space created by attaching fibers to each element of B, and p is the surjective projection function that maps fibers in T onto points in B such that the pre-image of a given neighborhood N of each point in B is homeomorphic to the space NxB. This assures us that the bundle "behaves nicely and each fiber gets along with the other fibers" locally.

 * For example, in differential geometry, we study vector bundles, a fiber bundle where the fiber is a vector space. It is usually the case that the base space is a smooth manifold, such as Rn or S1. One example of a vector bundle over Rn is to just attach a copy of Rn to each point. A less trivial example is to attach copies of R to each point of S1 in a way such that you can define a section of the total space to be the Moebius band (take S1 as the meridian circle of the band). Basically, just draw lines through each point of S1 so that the lines vary continuously and you can trim the lines to resemble the Moebius band. A trivial vector bundle is the cylinder over S1.

 * An example of a principal fiber bundle over a manifold is to, instead of attaching copies of R to S1, attach copies of S1 itself. If this is done in a trivial manner, you get a space homeomorphic to S1xS1 = T2. Hopf attached copies of S1 to each element of S2 to accomplish the amazing Hopf fibration. If you're attaching finite groups to the space, you can imagine little polygons attached to each point.

 * I'm only giving one (inexperienced) opinion of the mathematical picture, though. I'm not sure what you use these for physically. :-)

 * PS. Mathworld gives good examples.

 * PPS. Actually, now that I think about it, Feynman describes photons in his QED as particles with a rapidly rotating vector attached (dependent on energy). Perhaps one can attach copies of S1 to each point in space and once one chooses a path, a section of that bundle would correspond to the vector orientations for a photon of a certain energy, and one can integrate over the section to get the probability vector! Eh, overkill. :D

 * I'd like to know what SU(m,n) generators look like. --HappyCamper 19:23, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
 * What does look like mean? Are you looking for their definitions?--Hillgentleman|User talk:hillgentleman 06:46, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I think what I am looking for is the representation of that particular lie algebra... --HappyCamper 01:14, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

A trivial example: principal G-bundle over a point
Let G be any group of your choice. G acts on itself simply transitively by left translation. Let X be the set of elements in G, forgetting the group operation. Then the set-theoretic map X-->point is a principal G-bundle over a point, with G acting on X on the left.--Hillgentleman|User talk:hillgentleman 06:41, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Frame bundle
GL(n) acts simply transitively on the set of frames in a n-dimensional vector space. Take any rank n vector bundle, such as the tangent bundle of an n-sphere. One can choose n sections of the vector bundle, such that in each fibre their restrictions form a basis (frame). The collection of all such choices form a principal GL(n) bundle.

Principal GL(n) bundle over a point
Let the base be a point. Take the vector space R^n. Then the map R^n-->point is a vector bundle over a point. The set of bases in R^n form a principal GL(n,R) bundle over a point. -Hillgentleman|User talk:hillgentleman 06:41, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Physics teaching

See:
 * Topic:Physics
 * School:Education

MIT (Studious) Model
The MIT model of Physics education involves creating strong student groups that explore Physics. The actual teaching takes place not in the lecture hall, but late at night in a dorm room around a problem set that will be hand graded. The problem set does not produce a large proportion of the grade, and consists of very difficult problems, making it generally impossible for individuals to complete them on their own.

Many things subtly contribute to make this approach effective. Even though it is theoretically possible for students to simply copy the answers and hand them in, it is not in their interests to do so, because they would fail the test and final examinations, which form most of the grade. Moreover, it is to the students' benefit to know what their weaknesses are because they get very detailed feedback in the problem sets.

The other important aspect is that the passing grade is set extremely high, and the grades are against some more or less objective standard. Because the pass rate is very high, there is no disincentive to helping someone else learn the material.

Additionally, tests and finals are hand-graded, with the possibility for generous partial credit. The emphasis is placed on the concept, and not on just getting the answers.

Portal talk:Engineering and Technology

Where is the sense of organization??!?!
(Reprint from Colloquium)

There are too many Portals and and Schools and Topics etc!!! This has become ridiculous! If a contributor has looked through the standard channels (portal, school, department, etc.) found nothing and then added something, at what point does futility seem obvious? Is it the point at which that contributor realizes that there was another page all along buried in the swamp, unlisted anywhere??? Please...PLEASE reduce the number of divisions within this structure!  - gustable

 * I think the intention is to draw an outline and allow the innards to be filled up. However, I will agree that too many division with too many empty pages make things look -- empty. I will see what can be done on this. Historybuff 15:52, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Topics - where do they go?
Where is the best place for Thermodynamics ? 57.66.65.39 15:38, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Would Cybernetics, Robotics, Computer Control, and Automation, all be topics included in Automation Engineering? Or should separate Engineering Departments be created? If we include it all in one department I would suggest naming it Department of Control Systems. josteinaj 2006/12/12, 16:37

Relevant Wikibooks
I've been working on a number of wikibooks in the subject of Engineering, and I would like to (a) advertise those books as being a valuable resource to learning efforts here, and (b) ask interested participants to help develop those books further by adding some sorely-needed content. Some of the better books are:

 * Engineering Tables (a listing of mathematical reference tables: derivatives, integrals, integral transforms, etc)
 * Control Systems
 * Communication Systems
 * Signals and Systems

I would like to see wikibooks and wikiversity work closely together on projects like this in the future. --Whiteknight 03:36, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, We kinda split off from Wikibooks, so doesnt that kinda instantly make us "Work Closely" Heltec  talk

 * I recommend to add a BookShelf Title and a Open TextBooks subtitle in order to add your links to the wikiversity page.

Like this

Open Text Books

 * Wikibooks Engineering BookShelf

and all of the open books on the subject that you find. In the other hand, I think there also should be references to recomended books in that fields.

BTW see if you find interesting this site: The University of Michigan Chemical Engineering Process Dynamics and Controls Open Textbook is a student created open source textbook. 190.16.136.21 21:17, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Learning Projects
It would be a good idea to sponsor not only internal projects but also external ones that get in line with the wikis visions, please debate.

Here I post one I found about and is pretty interesting:

 * www.reprap.org/
 * reprap's blog
 * RepRap in Wikipedia

WiKimik 23:26, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

 * That is pretty slick. --Remi0o 05:42, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Comp sci related stuff
I'm starting to try and organize the computer stuff a bit more logically. I've started to touch on the Portal (I'm using your page as an example), and have done a lot of work on the Category areas. I'm looking to make contact with the editor(s) for this page, so we can co-ordinate content and maybe develop a common page template. Historybuff 19:42, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Radio and Television
We've started a content development group for Radio and are planning one for Television. We plan on covering the topics covering both Engineering and Technology aspects and Media Studies aspects. Please have a look and contribute if you are so inclined. CQ 02:51, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Web Design part of Computer Science?
I would like to bring up for consideration the appropriateness of Web Design being under the heading of Computer Science in the department structure. While the "Web" part of the name lends itself to technology, the distinction of Web Design in universities is typically under the umbrella of Art or Graphic Design rather than Computer Science.

This being said, I would love to see a Web Development department that covers all bases of client and server side scripting (PHP, ASP, JSP, Javascript, etc). I guess the differences would be seen in the definitions of design and development. While the design and development have a tendency to overlap at times, for educational purposes, there are very clearly defined differences that may be better acknowledged with the placement of the Topic pages.

Obsidian 16:17, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

 * The system is flexible. the Web Design pages can be linked to by multiple portals and school pages. If you need a version of an existing learning resource that takes a different approach to the topic, feel free to create a new page or a subpage. --JWSchmidt 17:07, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

OCW and Wiki
I am wondering if Wikiversity and OpenCoureWare on MIT's website could work together? I was looking on the site and they have over 1700 courses! If someone "in charge" of either of these projects could maybe work out something between Wikiversity and OCW, I think both would benefit a lot. Just a thought.

 * As I understand it, OCW has a more restrictive licence then GFDL, in paticular the part where OCW licenced courses can only be used for non-commercial purposes. Now, this doesn't mean that we can't base content or use the course material in a Wikiversity hosted forum, but it does mean that we can't host a copy of the complete coursework here, as GFDL is applicable to all locally hosted material. Did you have a course in mind, by the way? Historybuff 21:03, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Technical Writing Classification
Hello folks...where to put the Technical_writing content in this portal? I've got the links in the news section (looking less newsworthy every passing month, BTW) but technical writing and requirements writing should be somewhere in the topic structure.

Thing is, it's a shared process/artifact/skill in so many aspects of engineering, design, and management.

So rather than insert without discussion, I'd love to hear your advice on the matter. TWFred 16:40, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Electrical/Electronic Engineering Orientation/Aptitude Course
Entrance-test like course for Electrical/Electronic Engineering completed.Please visit cousre home page, for Comments; reviews and critisism please use course talkpage. I think this course can be upgraded in future as follows:
 * Questions marked for engineering field identities i,e Each question related or proves inclination to a particular engineering field.
 * student gets a field recommendation after attempting questionaires.
 * Guided tours to each engineering field according to questionaire result/recommendation.

I know the list above may look daunting and ambitious, but I guess this deparment embodies human ingeniusness. we must live up to the name! - Thuvack 10:47, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

NPTEL courses
There is a huge set of video courses on many engineering subjects by the Indian Government which is now available on youtube. These will be very useful as material for courses.

Edit request
Hi, Would it be possible to add the following line to allow the option to omit section numbers as per this manual page .noautonum .tocnumber { display: none; }

It should allow for the TOC to be wrapped in a  div. T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)talk 10:29, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Done. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 13:46, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Fantastic, thank you! I don't support there's away to also hide the border around the TOC is there? Just for aesthetic reasons when used in the WikiJournal articles, nothing vital. T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)talk 00:27, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Not based on my current CSS knowledge. I tried matching their example, but it doesn't force no border on the TOC itself. I'll keep it in mind and if I come up with a solution, I'll let you know. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 03:27, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

Aha, I've got some advice from Mediawiki support desk that the following should work: .tocplain #toc { border: none; background: none; } Would you mind inserting it to test? Thanks! T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)talk 23:18, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Done. See . -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 16:53, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Champion! It's looking great! T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)talk 23:06, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
 * One more minor addition to the "tocplain" class to align the title to the left when the border is omitted:

.tocplain #toc { border: none; background: none; text-align: left; }

 * Sorry, that's not it. It's going to have to be something that includes toctitle. Check with the Mediawiki folks again. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 22:44, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

Ethnography

Summary
Ethnography is a research approach that uses a number of research methods to study holistically the interplay of social structure and culture. A primary ethnographic method is fieldwork, i.e. the direct observation of and participation in social life. However, other qualitative methods and even quantitative methods are used, including interviews, focus groups, surveys, and more.

Ethnography developed as a method of investigation along with the rise of travel and anthropological literature in the nineteenth century. Today it is a widely used research perspective outside of anthropology as well. Practitioners of human geography, sociology, political science and marketing research utilize ethnographic methods in addition to anthropologists.

This project includes background information and orienting exercises for introductory and advanced ethnography learning projects, including Introduction to ethnography, Institutional ethnography, and Virtual ethnography. Texts for ethnography learning projects include Essential Ethnographic Methods by Schensul et al, Mapping Social Relations by Campbell and Gregor, and Viritual Ethnography by Hine.

Prerequisites

 * Completing an introductory course in Sociology or Anthropology is recommended.
 * Close reading of the WRN Privacy Policy and Wikiversity research ethics pages is required before or early on in the course.
 * If you intend to do social research, reviewing one of these free online courses is recommended:
 * Research Ethics Training Curriculum prepared by Family Health International (FHI).
 * National Cancer Institute Human Subjects Research Tutorial.

Goals
This learning project offers background reading and learnings activities to explore ...

Concepts to learn include: /concepts

Participant observation Observant participation Fieldwork Voice Mise-en-scène, or ethnographic production Movement The uses of anecdote Interlocutors Notetaking Ethnographic collecting Reflexivity Situated knowledges Translation

Readings
Each activity has a suggested associated background reading selection.

 * Reading 1.
 * ect.

Activities

 * Activity 1.
 * Activity 2.

User:Eclecticology

I live in Richmond, BC, Canada, and first became a registered Wikipedian on 2002-02-17. I also became very active in Wiktionary and Wikisource from their earliest days, and have been a bureaucrat on both of these projects. Recently my activity has been limited to Wiktionary. I attended Wikimania in both 2005 and 2006, and can attest to the value that such personal contact brings to editing in whatever project may interest me at the moment.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Malte. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Malte~enwikiversity that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:37, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Wikiversity:Useful content

Wikiversity's educational content can be described by the general term "learning resources". Learning resources can be roughly divided into learning materials and learning projects. Some learning resources are "lessons". Repeating: all lessons, learning activities, learning materials, and educational content belongs on pages of the main Wikiversity namespace.

Main namespace
The main namespace is intended for the educational content of Wikiversity. Pages in the main namespace are given names with NO prefix, for example: Cell Biology (ie not School:Biology - which is in the "School:" namespace). If you want to add content right now, just create main namespace pages and start typing in your information. If you are concerned about how to organize Wikiversity content pages, read the rest of the page, below.

See Namespaces for a description of how the main namespace relates to all the other Wikiversity namespaces. In the future, Wikiversity will have many learning resources. Wikiversity needs a way to organize learning resources according to a hierarchy of conventional academic topics. To aid in this organization, Wikiversity uses three meta-discussion namespaces: the "School:", "Topic:" and "Portal:" namespaces. These three namespaces serve to organize the efforts of Wikiversity participants while they develop the educational content of Wikiversity

Link

"Link" is short for "hyperlink". Hyperlinks allow you to move between webpages by clicking on them. At Wikiversity, hyperlinks look like this: Hyperlink and Hyperlink or sometimes this. Most links are blue and will take you to another page if you click on them. Red Link City has information about red links.

Links to subpages
Wikiversity allows subpages. You can link to subpages using Link/Subpage test or just /Subpage test.

A first attempt
Well, something for starters :-) --HappyCamper 19:06, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Proposed merge
While this page served a very usefull purposed in the initial days, Introduction has risen as a very nice replacement to this page. I propose this page's information be merged into the Introduction (and most of it already has) and then this page redirect there. I've created a couple of diagrams to explain my thought process here:

Vs.

Among other things, I'm trying to study how Wikiversity teaches new users. From the main page a new user will get the most from Wikiversity if they follow the green path, but more experienced users have the option of following the pink or orange path. Removing the blue path but still providing all the relavent links would streamline things a bit. - Trevor MacInnis 15:27, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Shall I take the lack of replies as meaning nobody opposes (or even cares about/watches this page)? I'll start the merge as soon as I'm sure all the applicable info on this page is addressed at the Intro - Trevor MacInnis 00:43, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Maybe there could really be a guided tour like this one. --JWSchmidt 04:28, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

 * That's an great idea! I'll start right away! - Trevor MacInnis 17:45, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Etiquette

This learning project is about exploring modern etiquette and manners in the context of Wikiversity.

Common practices
This section lists common practices. Why do these common practices work? When do they fail and why?

 * 1) Think before you act. Think about whether each action is going to make things better or worse. If an action might make things worse, give active consideration to not doing it.
 * 2) Take care writing on topics you are passionate about. Create learning resources in a way that does not argue for one point of view. Remember that it is difficult to be unbiased when you are biased.
 * 3) Avoid drama. Focus on content, not on people. Look for common ground. Your free time could be better spent to improve Wikiversity's content.
 * 4) Don't take Wikiversity too seriously. Remember that Wikiversity is a hobby and not an obligation or commitment. Keep a good community spirit up and make good edits as a community.
 * 5) Listen to other people and acknowledge that you understand other people's point of views. Text communications can be ambiguous and often more difficult to interpret than speech. Text comes without facial expressions, vocal inflection, or body language. It is easy to misjudge other editors' moods and intentions. Make your proposals and responses clear. If someone disagrees with you, make sure you try to understand why. Try to see where they are coming from. Take the time and effort to explain why you think your suggestion(s) might be preferable, and answer their questions politely. Don't ignore them (unless it's for a very good reason, i.e they themselves are being unreasonable.) Respect them. Restating people's view fairly and accurately, like "You seem to be saying [paraphrase of opposite opinion or suggestion]," or "As I understand you...," acknowledges that you are paying attention and not just waiting to interject with points of your own. Even if you are sure you haven't misunderstood what someone is trying to say to you, listening carefully and communicating effectively will help keep you from missing something important.
 * 6) Acknowledge and apologize when you are wrong or being unfair. You are only human. Sometimes you make mistakes and are not always right. In the heat of the moment you might sometimes say things that were better left unsaid; the least you can then do is make amends and admit your mistakes. Why argue infinitely when you can apologize?
 * 7) Say something nice. People typically only bother to comment or use talk pages when they have a problem or complaint. Unsurprisingly this can create a negative atmosphere that leads to heated arguments, annoyance and people taking offense, whether or not that was your intent. If you like what you read say so! Do not assume that by not complaining that people ought to know their work is appreciated. A few compliments can proactively smooth things over and make people less likely to simply take offense at your criticism. A safe approach is to "sandwich" your complaint between compliments, with something positive at the beginning and end with your commentary.
 * 8) If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. If you're in a situation where you can't think of anything nice to say and saying something is likely to just anger people, then don't say anything at all. Often times someone else shares the same views. Allow someone who's more level headed to discuss the issues instead.
 * 9) Assume the best about people whenever possible. Assume good faith. Wikiversity has worked remarkably well so far based on a policy of openness. This suggests that most people who visit do want to help and do succeed in trying to do so.
 * 10) Take it slow. There is no time limit for a discussion. If you're angry, take a break from posting or editing. Come back in a day or a week. You might find that someone else has made the change or comment you wanted while you were away.
 * 11) Limit and qualify your statement and try posting comments as questions, especially if you're not totally sure.  Blanket statements or statements asserting the truth of opinions that can inflame the reader and sometimes, if you identify it as your own personal point of view, it can help make it seem less insulting to those who disagree. In this way, you can still emphasize your strong feelings on the topic, and communicate exactly the same opinion, but do so in a less inflammatory way.
 * 12) Help moderate other people's disagreements when you come across them. This is the same concept as pulling apart the two people engaged in a fist fight. Sometimes it is best to just state that the discussion is too heated (in a metaphorical sense).
 * 13) Remove or summarize old complaints. Once you are fairly certain that the person you're critiquing has seen your complaint (e.g., they've responded to it), be honorable about removing or summarizing it. The participant will sometimes feel reluctant to remove criticism out of fear that it will make them appear fearful of evaluations from others. You can go even a step further and thank them for addressing (or at least considering) your issue.
 * 14) Avoid deleting things as a matter of principle. When you amend and edit, it is remarkable how you might see something useful in what you might be about to remove. Almost everyone – including you – has something useful to say. Deletion upsets people and makes them feel they have wasted their time; at the very least leave some indication of your rationale in an edit summary, if not in an entry on a talk page or in a message to a user or users you think might be perturbed by your action.
 * 15) Go play in a Project:Sandbox, especially one you've created yourself in your userspace. It gives you a chance to ease discipline and get a few things off your chest -- go ahead, you probably won't frighten the punters too much, but consider others and resist using anything likely to upset or distress a random visitor.
 * 16) Sometimes you just need to walk away. There are a countless numbers of users who can take over for you. If you are not making progress, do not waste your personal time. Take a time out and work on other resources, or take a break from Wikiversity in general. Go get some fresh air or cook up a nice snack in the kitchen. You can bookmark the learning resource and return in a week or two. Allow some other Wikiversity participants to handle the situation.
 * 17) Always be welcoming to people. Everyone has something of value to contribute. Encourage people and welcome their ideas, even ideas you disagree with or from someone you are in conflict with. When people are allowed to be heard and to participate, they are less likely to feel neglected or alienated. If people feel neglected or alienated valuable contributions may be lost.

Portal:Computer engineering

Welcome to the Wikiversity Department of Computer Engineering.

The Department of Computer Engineering is a Wikiversity content development project where participants create, organize and develop learning resources for Computer Engineering.

Computer engineering (sometimes also called electronic and computer engineering) is a discipline that combines elements of both electrical engineering and computer science. Computer engineers are electrical engineers that have additional training in the areas of software design and hardware-software integration. In turn, they focus less on power electronics and physics. Computer engineers are involved on all aspects of computing, from the design of individual microprocessors, personal computers, and supercomputers, to circuit design, as well as the integration of computer systems into other kinds of systems (a motor vehicle, for example, has a number of subsystems that are computer and digitally oriented)[2]. Common computer engineering tasks include writing embedded software for real-time microcontrollers, designing VLSI chips, working with analog sensors, designing mixed signal circuit boards, and designing operating systems. Computer engineers are also well-suited for research in the field of robotics, which relies on using computers together with other electrical systems.

Learning projects
See: Learning Projects and the Learning model.

Learning materials and learning projects are located in the main Wikiversity namespace. Simply make a link to the name of the learning project (learning projects are independent pages in the main namespace) and start writing! We suggest the use of the learning project template (use "subst:Learning project boilerplate" on the new page, inside the double curved brackets – ).

Learning materials and learning projects can be used by multiple departments. Cooperate with other departments that use the same learning resource.
 * Algorithms
 * Computer architecture and organization
 * Computer systems engineering
 * Database systems
 * Embedded systems
 * Human-computer interaction
 * Operating systems
 * Software engineering
 * VLSI design and fabrication
 * Writing Requirement Specifications Wikiversity Workshop

Many of the areas of electronic engineering and computer engineering overlap, such as electronics and digital systems which form the basis of electronic components.

Remember, Wikiversity has adopted the "learning by doing" model for education. Lessons should center on learning activities for Wikiversity participants. We learn by doing.

Select a descriptive name for each learning project.

 * Efficiency in Computing Project

Department news

 * August 22, 2006 - Department founded!
 * July 16, 2008 - Department ready to be made anew. Look for an outline and links associating with Electrical Engineering. --Bgorges 01:58, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Subtopics
Besides having a sound knowledge of the mathematics and the sciences which form an integral part of any engineering discipline, computer engineering encompasses topics that are more unique to the discipline, such as boolean algebra, electric circuits, computer architecture and computer programming.[4]

The "topic" namespace contains pages that are for management and organization of small academic units at Wikiversity such as departments (see: Topics).

Portal talk:Mathematical Analysis

=Real and Complex Analysis=

When I made the Pure Math division (part of the Math School), I added this subdivision/department, mostly as filler. I see people have taken interest in it. I've not spent much time learning about analysis.. I don't even know if i chose such a good name. Anyways, from what i see here, there is also a Calculus section. My original intent was for calculus related fields to go under Applied Math. But with the nature of this wiki's hierarchy, it is possible for Calculus to be a part of Pure Math and Applied Math. However, is it wise to consider Calculus part of Pure Math?

 * Typically, I've seen real analysis and complex analysis taught separately. As for the calculus, there's also, "Calculus for engineers", "Calculus for mathematicians", et cetera. I think we should just develop materials as we see fit, and if pedagogy starts diverging, it would be a simple matter to split into subpages and such. --HappyCamper 19:32, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I believe it is difficult to sepperate Math into distinct groups with no overlaps. Calculus forms an important building block for the field of Analysis. I propose that as part of Analysis it should be included with the study of Real Analysis. Therefore changing the heading of Real Analysis to Calculus and Real Analysis. Your thoughts? (David 14:06, 13 November 2006 (UTC))

Measure Theory started
I've just created an intro under the measure theory subject. I can occasionally try to build this project, but I'm pretty unfamiliar with how to edit higher-level Wiki stuff. So currently measure theory does not show up under the main mathematics portal for Wikiversity. If you follow the link to mathematical analysis you then have to follow a link through the mathematical analysis portal, and only then do you see measure theory. This seems like a lot of people will not find these links, so I would expect it's better to move resources so that they can be found on the main portal or at least through a natural sequences of clicks. --Addemf (discuss • contribs) 23:21, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

 * This portal receives one view a day, on average. The Mathematics portal receives 126 views a day, on average. I wouldn't put too much effort into this portal. Also note that only the seven major portals are listed on the home page and portals don't appear in searches. It's better to put your energy into regular main space pages if you want to help others learn about mathematical analysis (which doesn't even have a page yet). -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 20:45, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

title: Portal talk:Mathematical Analysis


text:
Talk:Calculus

=Location of the Calculus Department= I think Calculus is better located in the Applied Math division. However, with the nature of this wiki's hierarchy structure, this department can be contained within both divisions. Although, I do not believe Calculus should be considered Pure Math.

Calculus, as studied by mathematicians, is pure mathematics. See Spivak's works for the purely mathematical study. Not a single reference to a physical application is given; all concepts are mathematically motivated. I don't ever intend to reference any applications in my lessons, except perhaps as historical motivations as Newton did play a part in developing some of the ideas of calculus primarily for physical uses; such applications should be left to the appropriate departments. Ron 01:53, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

=solutions to calculus textbooks?=

I think it would be a good idea to include solutions from some well-known calculus textbooks, such as Calculus: Early Transcendentals by James Stewart. These solutions can help students check their work and act as a study guide. Of course, we can't just copy them from the official solutions manual as that would be a copyright violation, but I don't think it would be an issue if we came up with our own solutions. --Ixfd64 20:37, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Solutions to a text are problematic as you point out. Rather we should create our own problems and solutions. Ultimately problems created will probably be from a text but then thats how most mathematics books are written. Afterall, who was the first to describe: $$ \frac{dy}{dx}x^2=2x$$? --Graemeb1967 12:00, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Invitation
Dear user of Wikiversity,

Do you like to join a reading club, where you can read and discuss literature? Reading clubs could have active and inactive participants. Active participants could be required to edit on a regularly basis untill a deadline is reached and another topic can be chosen for reading and discussing. Hopefully, reading clubs can ensure a social network on Wikiversity of people cooperating with eachother and becoming friends while discussing knowledge.--Daanschr 09:41, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello Baloonguy, I' am pleased with your contributions to Wikiversity, its always better to have a good contributor than a vandal here. Student Galaxy 17:14, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

News from Topic:Japanese
The Introduction to Japanese learning project is now ready for use. You are recieving this message because you signed your name at Topic:Japanese/Participants. If you do not want to recieve any more messages from Topic:Japanese, remove your name from Topic:Japanese/Participants.

Merge
I just want to thank you for taking care of that merge. Many of the language projects (Spanish, in particular) have multiple participation pages floating around, and I'm trying to encourage the projects to keep everything in one spot (wherever that may be) so that newcomers trying to sign up know where to go. The Jade Knight 22:30, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Japanese Templete
Hi, Ive just fined, that you copyed a template from Topic:Spanish-good way. But could you change this page: Topic:Japanese/Other Language Divisons it looks like buggy. I mean it is not a source page, so it is quite chaotic to call it via this way. Anyway Topic:Japanese/Active Participants can also be fixed easier. Maybe via #REDIRECT Topic:Foreign Language Learning/Participant Coordination .--Juan 20:33, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for the welcome. As for my proficiency in Japanese, I just began learning from a friend and was supplementing that with Wikiversity's Japanese track. So I don't know how helpful I might be now, but hopefully I'll be able to help out in the future. Phydend 06:07, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

French Mentoring
Salut, Balloonguy. You are listed at the French stream as being an intermediate student of French who is interested in learning French. The French Mentoring project has recently been launched, and if you add your name to that list, I will do my best to put you in contact with an appropriate Mentor who would be glad to help you.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Bouranis. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Bouranis~enwikiversity that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Topic talk:Philosophy of History

Possibly worth a mention
Roy Rosenzweig, "Can History be Open Source? Wikipedia and the Future of the Past", The Journal of American History (Center for History and New Media), Volume 93, Issue 1, June 2006, p.117–146. Very interesting article on what he sees as the strengths and weaknesses of Wikipedia, especially with respect to the writing of history. -- Jmabel 23:15, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Agreed
Perhaps an entire section dedicated to history's "scholarly articles" would be in order. I know that there are an abundance of great articles out there dedicated to a variety of subtopics ranging from online sources such as wikipedia, to oral history, local historical societies, etc. NCHE1776

Topic Page
This topic page doesn't seem to be organised that well in the form of a school, but rather like a compendium of information copied from the above article. Needs structuring. Jpe|ob 00:05, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I just added an introduction of sorts from Wikipedia. Jpe|ob 00:11, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Written
I don't necessarily agree that it is "primarily from written sources." Primary sources exist across a wide spectrum these days, with things such as oral history taking on a renewed importance as well as artifacts, songs, geography, paintings, sculptures depicting a society's morals, ideals and religions, etc. none of which are necessarily written, yet all of which encompass the history of a people, place and time. Thoughts? NCHE1776 15:29, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Thoughts?
I don't want to be the man who arbitrarily edits sections without discussion, but any thoughts on the previous point regarding history not being primarily from written sources? NCHE1776 21:05, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Historiography
This school definitely needs a section on Historiography - fast. Jpe|ob 00:11, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Historiography, check!
Agreed regarding historiography. I feel like that may be an entirely new subsection altogether though as it has grown considerably over the past few years. The combination of article pieces that I had posted initially are meant merely to serve as a framework of sorts for history education as used by the National Council for History Education in their professional development programs and work with the dept. of ed. NCHE1776 15:23, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

School:History
Previously the Wikiversity community established a list of major schools that included a School of History. Wikiversity now has School:History. --JWSchmidt 01:42, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Move to school?
Should the framework information previously posted be moved to a section of the School:History? NCHE1776 15:23, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Topic-level?
Department/Division [Topic] level pages are not supposed to contain learning materials themselves, but rather link to lessons/units/projects/etc., which contain such materials.

I think the information in this Department would benefit from being broken up into sub-pages (lessons) that were referenced from the Department page. It would make it much less overwhelming to visit, for one. I also think it would help to have a list of stated goals for the Department of Philosophy of History. The Jade Knight 00:10, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Wikiversity Departments can function as projects for the development of learning materials. As soon as coherent "lessons" or learning activities or other types of learning resources are identified, they should be placed on their own pages in the main namespace. --JWSchmidt 02:09, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay. In the meantime, this Department is pretty confusing/overwhelming.  The Jade Knight 02:50, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Introductory "course"
I was thinking the History School could use an introductory Learning Project/Course/whatever to help explain Historiographical issues and concerns to people who do not have university-level training in History. This would be the "gate" Learning Project that would give students an applied knowledge of historiographical issues and the ability to critically analyse sources for methodological issues. It would be good if papers (showing achievement) could be produced as a result of the project, but so long as the students have a grasp of the issues, anything could work. Could some of you working in this department help in the creation of such a project? The Jade Knight 06:50, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Philosophy of History
I couldn't agree more that I would like to see the Philosophy of History expanded to contain some course material and other sections. Most notably historiography which has for too long gone neglected as a core element of strong history education. I'd like very much to coordinate further on this with you. As it stands, the material that is there is posted only as a framework for a strong history curriculum and we will have to dance a careful step so as to not overlap the School of Education (though using interdisciplinary studies by looking at other subjects such as literacy, mathematics, science, etc. through a historical lense is a whole other can of worms that perhaps can be explored). NCHE1776 21:57, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not particularly looking to get involved in this Department, as far as the material posted on this page is concerned. I would certainly be willing to collaborate on developing a basic methodology course with you, however.  Where do you think we should begin, and what should we call it?  Introduction to Historiography?  Historian's Craft?  The Jade Knight 01:10, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

re: dead school
The school itself; the philosophy of history - is one that is critical to the proper and thorough study of history. University historians reference historiography almost without fail through the study of history and history education - perhaps that would be the better term for this school when it comes down to it, as referenced by Jade Knight above. The problem lay in the fact that there has been little to zero collaboration beyond Jade Knight and my own interest.

To be honest; this vexes me as I can't help but see the unrelenting references to historiography in the history discipline - and yet the section is largely neglected.

I am more than open to suggestions on how to include this important part of history education, but can not do it without assistance due to time restrictions.
 * I agree that a study of Historiography is needed. Unfortunately, I've little training on the Philosophy of History… The Jade Knight 11:41, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

MediaWiki Project

The MediaWiki Project guides participants from introductory HTML to advanced MediaWiki hacking. Participants will develop new MediaWiki features for the Wikiversity community.

Project description
This project formed to provide a central resource and forum for learning and discussing the inner workings of MediaWiki. MediaWiki is the server software that powers Wikiversity and the other Wikimedia projects (like Wikipedia). The primary aim of this project is to give Wikiversity participants a deeper insight into MediaWiki's functionality, thus facilitating more effective ways to get the most out of the technology. Another aim is to address Wikiversity's technical needs via problem-solving and critical thinking within a practicum for applied computer science.

Project news

 * 22 August 2006 - Department founded!
 * 14 November 2006 - Namespace debate escalates..
 * 26 November 2006 - Multilingual support for MediaWiki listing added to the Multilingulism practicum
 * 23 January 2007 - MediaWiki Ideal - In an ideal world, what features would the ideal Wiki Software have, and what would it be like?
 * February 23, 2007 - Scripting MediaWiki content development project started
 * 11 March 2007 - MediaWiki Templates content development project started
 * 12 July 2009 - MediaWiki Project at Sandbox Server - see?

Learning materials and projects
Wikiversity has adopted the "learning by doing" model for education. The MediaWiki Project centers on learning activities for Wikiversity participants that are directed towards the goal of improving the Wikiversity user interface. Learning materials and learning projects can be used by multiple Wikiversity departments. Cooperate with other departments that use the same learning resource.
 * Change default skins? - Should Wikiversity have a distinctive default skin?
 * Rank each wiki page according to degree of completeness. Have links to pages color coded to indicate the degree of completeness of the target page. Category:Stubs
 * Meta-Wiki - general user survey software
 * Threaded discussions
 * integration of threaded discussions into Wikiversity. See LiquidThreads at meta and some local implementations at Template:LiquidThreads and LiquidThreads.
 * THREADNAV - a simple and flexible experimental model of threaded navigation with wiki-text, developed on wikiversity.
 * Test and Quiz - integration of systems for testing into Wikiversity. See: Quizzes.
 * Video discussions - integration of video chat into Wikiversity (for audio, see WCR below)
 * Topic:MediaWiki - Explore the MediaWiki engine from a Computer Science perspective, from the MediaWiki Codebase to its application here at Wikiversity.

Portuguese Language

Unit Summary

 * Course presentation: Bem vindo Welcome

March 9, 2009. This beautiful language course needs a lot of work. We are all here to help you.

There are two important Portuguese language variations, almost identical: the European Portuguese (used in Portugal), and the Brazilian Portuguese. The European Portuguese is the original Portuguese (since Brazil was first colonized by Portugal more than 500 years ago), but Brazilian Portuguese became more relevant for many reasons: Brazil is now the 8th biggest economy in the world (Wikipedia), its variation is spoken by more than 200 million people, and there is a lot more literature printed in that style.

More books are printed in Brazilian Portuguese not only because of the greater population of Brazil, but also because Portugal is part of Europe, where people tend to learn many languages, so many researchers and readers in Portugal read original books printed in other European languages, like English, French and Spanish, while in Brazil many books are translated by publishers.

There is some debate about this two variations, but we will not encourage that controversy. If I was learning Portuguese I would choose one variation, and don`t worry about the other for now, learning a language is already challenging or as great poet Fernando Pessoa would say: Navegar é preciso.

This issue is no big deal. Wiki editors can contribute with the variation they know best. Both are correct (There is an extensive Policy about the use of Portuguese variations in Wikiversidade: Versões da Língua Portuguesa). We are brothers! Somos irmãos. Have a nice study, we are under development.
