My name is Paul Wintz, AKA The Erinaceous One 🦔. I am a PhD student at the University of California, Santa Cruz (Q1047293), where I study control theory (Q6501221) in the Department of Applied Mathematics.
Where to find me accross the internet:
- Personal blog on Tumblr.
- Spiromaniac blog on Tumblr.
- Animals blog on Tumblr.
- Personal homepage
- Spotify
- StackOverflow
To-do ListEdit
The following are tasks that I am planning to work on.
- Add explanation of third-order class (Q24017465) (and similar items) on its talk page. (Maybe track down the "true" documentation for ontology and link it there).
- Add a more complete example to defining formula page with demonstrates how to use "calculated from" and "in defining formula"
- Add more "generalization of" statements to mathematical items
- Create "mathematically equivalent to" property?
- Create "has conclusion" property for proof items?
- Integrate Wikidata:List of properties/mathematics into the mathematics project page.
- Clarify the difference between numerical method has quality A-stability and Euler backward method has quality A-stability.
- Why is musical trio (Q281643) instance of musical term? Isn't that language dependent?
- What the relationship between signed curvature and curvature?
- Clean up the instances of mathematical object. In particular, shape (Q207961) has many subclasses that should not be mathematical objects.
- Develop Template:Instance Criteria
Properties and Templates I Find UsefulEdit
Qualifiers:
- sourcing circumstances (P1480). In particular, "statement" sourcing circumstances (P1480) requirement (Q774228) or necessity (Q2301186)
- "subject has role" and "object has role
- manifestation of
- disjoint union of (P2738)
- facet of
- properties for this type (P1963): when this subject is used as object of "instance of" or "occupation", the following properties normally apply
- objective of project or action (P3712): desired result or outcome
- proportion (P1107): to be used as a qualifier, value must be between 0 and 1
- value hierarchy property (P6609): property which specifies less precise items than the indicated value for which statements using the subject property would still be true
- maintained by WikiProject (P6104): WikiProject that maintains this property, item, or linked pages. If the WikiProject is hosted outside of Wikidata, define the scope using the qualifier "of (P642)"
- Sandbox-Item (P369): sandbox property for value of type "Item"

Questions About ModelingEdit
How do we represent that instances of dimension of a vector space (Q929302) will be integer values?
Important Math ItemsEdit
The following are classes of mathematical objects that I patrol occasionally to make sure the ontology of their instances and subclasses are correct.
- axiomatic system (Q792542)
- theorem (Q65943)
- set (Q36161)
- topology (Q42989)
- mathematical structure (Q748349)
- polynomial (Q43260)
- polynomial sequence (Q1052437)
- differential equation (Q11214)
I also have some expertise in the following categories, so I try to develop and maintian them:
Frequently misusedEdit
There are several mathematics terms that are easily confused with everyday terms, so I periodically check them for misuse.
- ring (Q161172)
- group (Q83478)
- field (Q190109)
- model (Q1979154)
- boundary (Q875399)
- atlas (Q1303310)
- category (Q719395)
- couple (Q253897)
- function (Q11348) (confused with Q4164871)
Likely to be misused (but not actually) bridge (Q2532492) loop (Q512604) cycle (Q78323458) boundary (Q78323465) quiver (Q493980) knot (Q1188853) flag (Q8563541) image (Q860623) center (Q191166) degree (Q383444) arc (Q147572) cone (Q493171) chain (Q53710222) decade (Q2199357) lattice (Q595364) stack (Q7595945) necklace (Q2983383) fiber (Q1640811) filter (Q1052692)

qualities for this typeEdit
- Human "qualities for this type" male, female (alternatively, maybe Human "qualities for this type" gender / "possible values" male, female, etc. would be a better model)
- iterative numerical method "qualities for this type" L-stable, A-stable, zero-stable,
Instances all have qualityEdit
- Runge-Kutta method "All instances have quality" Butcher tableau
- linear functional "All instances have quality" "Listed as qualifiers" / codomain field of scalars
UnitsEdit
- Something to model SI base unit (Q223662).
- A way to write ISQ dimension (P4020) in machine-readable code.

Conditions for inclusion of items in classEdit
Throughout Wikidata, we have a heirarchy of classes, but there is not a clear modeling of what the criteria for a item to by an instance or a subclass of another. There are two solutions I see for this:
The first is to create a template for talk pages that would allow users to describe the criteria (such as necessary and sufficient conditions) for inclusion in the class. When giving a definition, it is generally a good idea to conscribe the scope of the definition by stating non-examples. Thus, we could have several categories:
- Intensional definition: State the necessary and sufficient conditions for an item to be included in the class
- Ostensive definition: Provide a list of examples that exemplify the characteristics of the class. Edge cases are also helpful to show the extent of the definition.
- Non-examples: Several items that might be included in the class, but are not, along with a explanation for each about what characteristic(s) violates the definition.
The second option is to try and model this information in Wikidata statement. The value of such statement seems obvious to me, but would be a substatial addition to the project.
