| Sep 17, 2010 at 17:53 | comment | added | Pierre-Yves Gaillard | [Linguistic question: I know almost no English, but isn't it anachronistic (to say the least) to call Euclid's Elements a "textbook", as Wikipedia does? Here is again the link en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclid%27s_Elements ] - I'd expect many books of Euler and Hilbert to contain new results. I think this is the case of most of the major math books. | |

| Sep 17, 2010 at 12:37 | comment | added | Michael Hardy | How about theorems first published in internet forums? I think there have been some theorems first published in Wikipedia articles, and under the norms of Wikipedia, that's considered a reason to delete them from the article. If the article is about only a new theorem that has not appeared elsewhere, that's grounds for deletion of the article. One mathematician whom I met some years ago, who didn't understand the rules, made a preprint of his into a Wikipedia article not long ago. It was of course deleted. | |

| Sep 17, 2010 at 11:45 | comment | added | Pierre-Yves Gaillard | I should have asked: Would you consider Euclid's Elements as a textbook? Wikipedia writes: "Euclid's Elements is the most successful and influential textbook ever written": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclid%27s_Elements - And also "The Disquisitiones Arithmeticae is a textbook ...": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disquisitiones_Arithmeticae | |

| Sep 17, 2010 at 7:05 | comment | added | Gerry Myerson | You're quite right to point out that "textbook" is also an imprecise term. I don't have a good definition. | |
| Sep 17, 2010 at 6:35 | comment | added | Andrés E. Caicedo | How do you distinguish textbook from monograph? In some subjects this is obvious, but in some cases, I wouldn't be sure. | |
| Sep 17, 2010 at 6:23 | comment | added | Pierre-Yves Gaillard | Would you consider the Disquisitiones Arithmeticae as a textbook? | |
