Is this how you use user talk?

Yeah.. I didn't see that the article's sequence was defined starting with $F_1$ -Mountain.dew 11:03, 9 December 2007 (EST)

Re: Naming

I viewed the thread, and it seems that theorems would be capitalized, which is explicitly what that page says. It was extremely vague otherwise.

Large equations

I normally use \begin{align*} (or eqnarray etc), but I breakup large equations because apparently the math wraps around if its too long. At least on my browser, the following equation appears on two lines (and justified weirdly) rather than one:

$[AEDF] = [AE'F] + [AED] + [AE'D] = 100 + 50\sqrt{3} + 500\sqrt{2} - 350\sqrt{3} + 300\sqrt{6} - 600 = 500\sqrt{2} - 350\sqrt{3} + 300\sqrt{6} - 600$

I probably should format everything/center, but 2007 AIME I Problems/Problem 12 has no nice solution besides a ton of algebra so I'm not very inclined to do that ;) . Azjps (talk) 16:58, 17 January 2008 (EST)
