The mighty conclusion!

Sep 5, 2011 at 7:56 comment added André Nicolas Someone who knows that the answer involves Lambert $W$ would not need to ask the question. So the tag would only be applied retroactively.

Sep 4, 2011 at 17:49 comment added J. M. ain't a mathematician ...and elliptic-functions. Hmm...
Sep 4, 2011 at 17:35 comment added t.b. Come to think of it: We have gamma-function, zeta-functions, riemann-zeta, so my previous argument seems to break down. Anyway, I don't have a strong opinion but still tend to be against [lambert-w].
Sep 4, 2011 at 17:17 comment added t.b. I'm inclined against it. For example, we don't have a tag (exponential-function) either. Those who know about Lambert $W$ will probably know what special functions are and use that tag (hopefully). It won't help those whose answers unexpectedly involve Lambert $W$, so I think (special-functions) would do as well.

Typo [special-functions] tag

Sep 4, 2011 at 16:13 comment added Américo Tavares If we agree that the Lambert W function is a special function, we could use the existing [special-functions] tag.
Sep 4, 2011 at 16:10 comment added J. M. ain't a mathematician For the record: I don't really lean to either for or against the creation of the tag.
Sep 4, 2011 at 16:07 comment added davidlowryduda Mod Without backing this statement up, but rather only giving a short insight into my point of view, I do not think that there should be such a tag.
Sep 4, 2011 at 15:53 comment added The Chaz 2.0 Well, if you disagree (that there should be a tag), then maybe you should start a meta discussion!
