Should this be at Basel problem or Basel Problem? Seemingly authoritative sources use both. (I am holding off creating metadata, etc pages until we decide.) J. Noel Chiappa 12:08, 28 March 2008 (CDT)
- The text is clear: it says consistently Basel problem (except for the title). --Paul Wormer 12:13, 28 March 2008 (CDT)
- Right, but when I looked online quickly, I saw some what looked like knowledgeable math sites (e.g. http://plus.maths.org/issue19/features/infseries/, http://www.maa.org/editorial/euler/How%20Euler%20Did%20It%2002%20Estimating%20the%20Basel%20Problem.pdf) using the "Problem". But I also see a lot using "problem". So, since I'm not a mathematician, I flagged it so the experts could tell me what to do! :-)
