Forcing (mathematics) as opposed to Forcing (set theory)

[edit]

Since computability theory (a.k.a. recursion theory) and set theory are both parts of mathematics and both use forcing (the main idea of which is the same in both), it makes little sense to have the disambiguation page point to Forcing (mathematics) and Forcing (recursion theory). I once suggested merging the two articles, but either no one seemed to care or no one else wanted it. I'm fine leaving the two articles separate, but I propose changing the disambiguation. I'll change it now myself, since it seems to me this is a low traffic page and this may not get read for some time. If you object, feel free to revert my change and then let's discuss it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ddzhafar (talkcontribs) 15:46, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
