Q: What sort of content material would you wish to see extra of?

Prime 5:

  1. (64.3%) E book evaluations
  2. (64.3%) Overviews of mathematical ideas
  3. (51.8%) Math historical past
  4. (44.6%) Tutorials
  5. (42.9%) Math information

(The query allowed a number of decisions.)

Q: What degree of arithmetic are you principally serious about studying about on Math Weblog?

Mathematical level

A number of the questions had been open and tougher to summarize, however I really feel this survey offered me with ample suggestions. I thank everybody of you who participated in it.

I’d additionally wish to thank individuals who expressed a need to contribute to the location as authors. I’ll attain out to every of you individually very quickly. Thanks.
