Aim: to improve the quality and readability of Wikipedia mathematics pages.

Principles

• Keep it simple. Explain things as simply as possible with the minimum of technical language, using plain English wherever possible, especially at the top of the article.

• Keep it short and to the point. Don't confuse the issue by discussing related but different concepts.

• Include a simple example.

• A picture is often worth a thousand words in explaining a mathematical concept.
