| Aug 7, 2012 at 12:42 | comment | added | Makoto Kato | @MichaelGreinecker I'm just saying that your opinion that my questions are of little interest to anyone but myself is baseless. As for whether my questions are conducive to learning the subject or not, I believe they are. | |
| Aug 7, 2012 at 12:17 | comment | added | Michael Greinecker | @MakotoKato I think several members interested in similar areas as you have already expressed that your way of writing down your ideas is not very conducive to learning them. A well typeset single paper is just more readable, than a network of posts. There are reasons why people write papers and books. | |
| Aug 7, 2012 at 9:45 | comment | added | Makoto Kato | @MichaelGreinecker Please read my comment, again. I guess your main interests are in analysis. There are many members who are interested in algebraic number theory. I think they are interested in my posts. | |
| Aug 7, 2012 at 9:32 | comment | added | Michael Greinecker | @MakotoKato I should have been more precise. Your posts are of little interest to anyone but yourself. I'm sure there are people who would read it as a paper on the arXiv. | |
| Aug 7, 2012 at 9:28 | comment | added | Makoto Kato | @MichaelGreinecker Just because you are not interested in cyclotomic number fields(which are still the objects of active research), it does not necessarily mean other members are not interested in them. | |
| Aug 3, 2012 at 21:22 | comment | added | user1120 | @MichaelGreinecker I know. But in my opinion these questions are of general interest (at least many of them). | |
| Aug 3, 2012 at 11:58 | comment | added | Michael Greinecker | @Jonas I think the question limit was provoked by a certain infamous user who posted a lot of rather advanced questions of little interest to anyone but himself. | |
| Aug 3, 2012 at 4:48 | comment | added | Asaf Karagila Mod | @Mariano: True, but at least to some degree there is a positive side effect from knowing that others will read it and answer you. Even if you end up not clicking "Post question" at the end. | |
| Aug 2, 2012 at 23:33 | comment | added | user1120 | I do not really agree. Perhaps they are routine exercises but still, not that easy. I suppose the cap is to prevent really easy questions to get blocked as it pollutes the website. I don't think this pollutes the website. I feel that I don't have to make any moral decision about whether it is a good or bad thing to ask the questions (in terms of learning) but would rather just look at the quality of the question itself. That seems to be quite okay here. So +0. | |

| Aug 2, 2012 at 22:19 | comment | added | Asaf Karagila Mod | @Leonid: I generally agree; however Feynman's algorithm clearly begins by writing the problem down. When typing a question, especially a well-posed question, one often finds the solution by the time the question is ready - often because we re-arrange our thoughts and clears the path for finding the answer. In this aspect, typing the problem is as important as thinking. | |
| Aug 2, 2012 at 21:39 | comment | added | Pedro Mod | I must say that, although it is true one should "spend less time typing and more time thinking", writing (and typing) maths, and discussing and receiveing advice helps to get prepared for exams, or to settle doubts and gain confidence. | |
