The link in the /sci/'s sticky is dead because the guy who hosted the sites.google.com wiki has been banned by Google for violating ToS. The link used to lead to a (dead) wiki which was never worked on or finished.I suggest that it's replaced with a new sticky that has:>explanation how to use MathJAX>reminder to go to /adv/ and /wsr/ for career advice and homework requests respectively>useful resources (such as nLab (a well known math wiki), arXiv (a well known prepublication website), MathJaX documentation etc.) like there are on other boards such as /fit/ and /int/Here, I made a example sticky combining the /g/ and /int/ stickies that would work as a drop-down replacement for the sticky on /sci/:>This board is for the discussion of science and math> >If you want advice regarding college/university or your career path, go to >>>/adv/ - Advice.>If you want help with your homework, go to >>>/wsr/ - Worksafe Requests.>>To use MathJaX, put your TeX code between [math] ... [/math] tags (inline equations) or [eqn] ... [/eqn] tags (block equation).>Note: You may preview the output by clicking the TeX button at the top left corner in the quick reply window.>>Useful resources:>https://docs.mathjax.org/>https://ncatlab.org/>https://arxiv.org/>https://mathoverflow.net/>https://warosu.org/sci/
Note that the sites.google.com link in the >>>/diy/ sticky is dead too, but for unrelated reasons.
I would recommend putting some more info in there which was previously included in the sites page. In particular, the link to the wiki, some of the tutorials, and other resources. If possible, most of the content (which is still accessible on web.archive.org) could just be transferred over to the wiki in order to keep the sticky short and concise.
>>9472fuckin' magnets, how do they work?
>>9475I think the OP of the sticky should be exactly what I posted as it contains the most pertinent information (how to use TeX, rules reminder, links to resources) but the sticky can have additional posts and doesn't have to be short. I would not be against creating a temporary sticky asking the users what to add to the sticky since /sci/ has made a lot of infographics about "which book to read on such-and-such topic" (for example, /3/'s sticky has like 60 posts of infographics)>pic rel one such infographicThis is literally what /lit/ sticky has.nLab and arXiv should be put into OP as they are the primary drivers of discussion about math and science respectively on /mg/ and /sci/ as a whole (for example, LK99 most recently) but they are not resources to *learn* about science or math as a beginner/undergrad. That's why the posts in the sticky could also contain links to such resources ("how to start learning calculus, how to start learning algebra, how to start learning physics..."). Sure, you can also add the web.archive.org of the wiki to the OP, /fit/'s sticky does exactly that.
The sticky should contain a guide like pic rel although this one is made by an old tripfag.>>9478>infographicsThere are a lot of them listed in this thread>>>/sci/15676370
