About This Wiki

Eagle House Toolbox is an educational resource intended to support students K-12, especially those taking high school Math. We concentrate here on practical tools and skip definitive explanation in favor of "plain talk".

• See also About Us.

Getting Around

Different pages are linked to other pages in their bodies; but all pages display a sidebar (unless you've disabled it in your preferences). The sidebar contains a set of useful links; you may want to explore all of them now.

• See also Help:Sidebar.

Unlike some other wikis, our pages are divided into namespaces. So, for example, there can be both a Help:Foo page and an Eagletools:Foo page; they're different. There are only a limited number of namespaces and each one has a unique role to play. Pages without any prefix ("Foo") are considered to be in the Main namespace. Consider these the main content pages.

In most cases, pages in all namespaces behave alike; the only difference is in how we choose to use them. Some namespaces are controlled by the MediaWiki engine for particular purposes and some can't be edited at all. Every page has a "back side", an associated talk page. If you want to discuss something, comment on talk. Please be sure to sign each comment with four tildes (~~~~). Thank you.

The Tipped Can is an interesting exercise in solid geometry. Coming soon: Compass and straightedge construction, formal solution and proof, engineering drawings and a real working model.

Editing

Yes, this is a wiki. No, not everyone can edit. You need to create an account on this wiki in order to edit pages. It's free to join and you don't need to give an email address.

• Quick Start: Click "Edit" on any page and type in the big box. Click "Preview" to see what it will look like; click "Save" to save your changes. Feel free to experiment and don't worry: any mistake can be fixed easily.

• For advanced help editing this MediaWiki wiki, see MediaWiki Handbook on Meta Wiki.

Please keep in mind that we have a narrow mission here. If it doesn't relate to education, you might want to look for another place for it.

Follow redlinks like this and create new pages to explain concepts and help grow the Toolbox. Like much in life, it's what you make it.

Wikipedians

If you're an experienced MediaWiki user, you probably spent time on Wikipedia. Eagle House is not affilliated in any way with that project. You may be able to borrow technical skills and apply them here but chances are, social habits imported from WP will find a cool welcome. It all depends. Are you here to work or to express your opinion?

We warmly welcome Wikipedians here. Just check your weapons at the door.
