Talk:Cubic numbers
These include 8, 27, 64, 125 and such? Alonso del Arte 00:09, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
- Yep, 0 and 1 being degenerate cases. — Daniel Forgues 09:16, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
- Oops! The cubic integers are algebraic integers of degree 3. Not to be confused with cube numbers (also called perfect cubes, i.e. counts of balls which can be arranged into cubes), integers which are the third power of an integer. — Daniel Forgues 03:08, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
Algebraic integers?
Cubes are not the same as cubic integers, assuming that by "cubic integers" you mean algebraic integers of degree 3. these include numbers like A092526 which are not even in

- You are absolutely right, the cubic integers are algebraic integers of degree 3. Not to be confused with cube numbers (also called perfect cubes, i.e. counts of balls which can be arranged into cubes), integers which are the third power of an integer. — Daniel Forgues 03:08, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
About \, hack, which forces a display style
Concerning
- remove \, hack, which forces a display style; these ignore the preferences set on a user-by-user basis
what are the user preferences you are referring to? I've been using the \, hack to force rendering of LaTeX into PNGs all over, whether it be in script style (for inline) or display style... — Daniel Forgues 04:22, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
I see what you mean, under the Math tab
Always render PNG HTML if very simple or else PNG HTML if possible or else PNG Leave it as TeX (for text browsers) Recommended for modern browsers MathML if possible (experimental)

My using the \, hack to force rendering of LaTeX into PNGs all over was then a pretty bad idea, I won't do it anymore... — Daniel Forgues 04:31, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
- Discussion is at Template talk:Selected Recent Additions. I may have been hasty; I don't know what's better, disease or cure. Ick. Charles R Greathouse IV 15:52, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
