== Wisdom needed ==
Would you like to chime in on [[Talk:Power_factor#Negative_Power_Factor.3F]]? There is an issue on as to whether power factors can be described as being negative values. Basically it is the <s>sine</s> cosine value in the 2nd and 4th quadrants. I studied them in school during electrical training. We were taught that they were either 'leading' or 'lagging' depending on which quadrant they were in. I always assumed it was an absolute <s>sine</s> cosine value with lead or lag specified. Since digital meters started being used then things may have changed. Meters are programmed to read out +/- because that is probably easier than lead/lag.

[edit]
Nagao's theorem, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.
The article has been assessed as C-Class, which is recorded on the article's talk page. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. Note that because you are a logged-in user, you can create articles yourself, and don't have to post a request. However, you are more than welcome to continue submitting work to Articles for Creation.

ambiguity

[edit]
We say that F is a Ti-field if any such system, of degrees d1, ..., dm has a common non-zero solution whenever[...etc...]

Does this mean "[...]if there is any system of degrees that has a common non-zero solution whenever[...etc...]", or does it mean "[...]if it is the case that _any_ such system, no matter which one, has a common non-zero solution whenever[...etc...]"? A reasonable person might read it either way. In the first case, changing "any" to "some" would resolve the ambiguity; in the second case, changing "any" to "every" would do it. "Any" is sometimes a hazardous word. I've changed it to "every" in the article. Michael Hardy (talk) 20:18, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Turán's method

[edit]

In Turán's method, you've got

Then later you say the first result applies to sums where for all ν. Then you say for any range of ν length N, there is some ν with |sν| ≥ something. So you're using the letter ν as the _exponent_ in the expression that defines the sum sν, in which the subscript on z is n rather than ν. And at the same time, you've got ν as the subscript on z when you take about the range of values of ν.

That is at best an unclear way to say something. Could you clarify? Michael Hardy (talk) 15:35, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It should have been sums sν where for all n etc. Thank you for pointing that out -- fixed now. Spectral sequence (talk) 17:19, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
