:My opinion, at a first glance: ''all'' those external links have to be deleted, because they are either dead links, either kinda self-promotions for websites that do not add any value to the article content. In fact, this is a well-known issue on Wikipedia, where external links are often used by anonymous IPs to do some kind of spam, and I would like this issue to be seriously dealt with on the Citizendium, that is: we must accept only external links that add a significative value to the content of an article. --[[User:Sébastien_Moulin|Sébastien Moulin]] <small>[[User_talk:Sébastien_Moulin|(talk me)]]</small> 17:46, 2 April 2007 (CDT)

This article really does need to be rewritten. it does have strong points, but it isn't very well structured, listing a random collection of topics (some, like sigma algebras that don't belong at all), and in some cases it gives some basic definitions, but no context. I recommend statting over with a fresh article. [[User:Greg Woodhouse|Greg Woodhouse]] 21:34, 8 April 2007 (CDT)
