Capitalization

I don't think we need the "The correct title... technical restrictions" message at the top, because the "van" in "van der Corput" is capitalized at the beginning of a sentence just like any other word. —Keenan Pepper 16:39, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You do have a point. On the other hand, it's a surname that begins with a lowercase letter, something that English-speakers often get wrong even without the Wikipedia software reinforcing the wrong capitalization. See my recent edits to Low-discrepancy sequence and Constructions of low-discrepancy sequences for example. MathWorld, who have no such technical restrictions, have also chosen to write their corresponding article title with a lowercase "v". [1] —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 16:50, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Math tags for fractions

I've reverted the article to enclose each fraction in separate <math></math> tags. The reason I originally wrote it that way was so that the line could wrap if it didn't fit in the browser window. I realize that this may not be much of an issue, but it might happen if someone were, say, reading the article on a PDA. That said, if there's a good reason for merging the tags, feel free to re-revert. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 16:08, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
