Robison describes his father as being "mean*, especially after drinking cherry. But I don't think he did especially suffer abuse from his mother. I stand corrected. current Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit

- 07:2507:25, 22 July 2023 diff hist 0 Undefined (mathematics) In Hilbert's system, the primitives are point, line, plane, congruence, betweeness, and incidence. PlanetMath says point, line, plane are primitives. The original assertion that "angle" is primitive is false, as it can be defined as the point which is its vertex, and the two lines that spans the angle.
- 07:2007:20, 22 July 2023 diff hist +1 m Undefined (mathematics) wrong english. Should be "possibility" not "propensity". Indeterminate forms don't have natural tendencies to evaluate one way or the other.
- 07:1507:15, 22 July 2023 diff hist −470 Indeterminate form I delete the paragraph which is false. For example, 1/x diverges as x -> 0, and is of the indeterminate form 1/0, but neither diverges to infinity nor negative infinity. In such situations, extra information such at 1/0^+ = \infty are required.

- 07:0207:02, 26 September 2022 diff hist 0 Gradient →Definition: since the derivative is a linear functional, it is dual to the gradient. Strictly speaking, the gradient is the pre-dual of the derivative. I avoided the use of the term 'pre-dual', so I wrote the correct "derivative is dual to the gradient".

- 06:5506:55, 26 September 2022 diff hist −38 Gradient The previous statement that the gradient is zero at a point means that point is a stationary point where the gradient vanishes is a tautology and doesn't say anything

- 00:5300:53, 15 June 2022 diff hist +25 Criticism of Christianity →Role of women: the article asserts the existence of some evangelical churches that do not have female pastors, deacons and elders, without specifying which are these church.

- 00:4900:49, 15 June 2022 diff hist +89 Criticism of Christianity →Role of women: the text compares not ordaining female pastors with having female deacons.
