(by that time I hope to have worked out a blogpost on this)
Thanks for your help. ]]> http://mathoverflow.tqft.net/discussion/1094/timeline-of-mathematics-what-sould-be-contained/?Focus=15293#Comment_15293 http://mathoverflow.tqft.net/discussion/1094/timeline-of-mathematics-what-sould-be-contained/?Focus=15293#Comment_15293 Fri, 29 Jul 2011 12:41:31 -0700 Ryan Budney
You may also want to look at the revision history of the article. If there are only a few contributors, you can leave comments on their user-page, directing their attention to your comments on the discussion page. ]]> http://mathoverflow.tqft.net/discussion/1094/timeline-of-mathematics-what-sould-be-contained/?Focus=15292#Comment_15292 http://mathoverflow.tqft.net/discussion/1094/timeline-of-mathematics-what-sould-be-contained/?Focus=15292#Comment_15292 Fri, 29 Jul 2011 01:15:18 -0700 sisn I think I will write a blog post about this topic in the next days.
And maybe change the wikipedia article a bit, after that. Thanks!

You could also blog about the topic. ]]> http://mathoverflow.tqft.net/discussion/1094/timeline-of-mathematics-what-sould-be-contained/?Focus=15288#Comment_15288 http://mathoverflow.tqft.net/discussion/1094/timeline-of-mathematics-what-sould-be-contained/?Focus=15288#Comment_15288 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 21:23:17 -0700 sisn Yeah I know that I could change the wikpedia timeline, but the idea of the question was more to find a "minimal list" agreed by a number of mathematicans
(because I surely won't dare to claim to know what belongs /does not belong to a timeline of mathematics, just that the one given on wikipedia feels very inadequate ]]> http://mathoverflow.tqft.net/discussion/1094/timeline-of-mathematics-what-sould-be-contained/?Focus=15287#Comment_15287 http://mathoverflow.tqft.net/discussion/1094/timeline-of-mathematics-what-sould-be-contained/?Focus=15287#Comment_15287 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 21:11:16 -0700 Will Jagy http://mathoverflow.tqft.net/discussion/1094/timeline-of-mathematics-what-sould-be-contained/?Focus=15286#Comment_15286 http://mathoverflow.tqft.net/discussion/1094/timeline-of-mathematics-what-sould-be-contained/?Focus=15286#Comment_15286 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 20:54:16 -0700 sisn Is this question acceptable? Maybe as a community wiki, so that a common ground on what should/should not be in a timeline can be found.
This question is much inspired by the timeline of mathematics on wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_mathematics
which I think is well pretty lets call it "special".
No mention of Poincare (or topology), no mention of MacLane/Eilenberg or Cathegories and no mention of Grothendieck at all.
Curiously it mentiones Connes NCG (which I think of course belongs, but without mentioning Grothendieck it is pretty strange.)
Insteed it has two entries about Lotfi Zadeh's Fuzzy Sts/Fuzzy Logic (Which might be important- I don't know the first thing about it, but surely not more important than Poincare's Topology or Grothendieck remake of the AG Foundations.)-
So in short I wondered weather It's possible to find an agreed minimal list which should constitute a timeline of mathematics.
Do you think that this question is appropriate for mathoverflow? ]]>
