Theta calculus

Original research by User:Dirnstorfer alias User:Dadim. The article establishes a notation, which uses function composition in the opposite way, without explaining why it is useful. As far as I can see, nobody but the author uses this notation. Mathematical Reviews has not heard about it. Related articles by the same author are Evaluation operator (now deleted, see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Evaluation operator) and Multiscale calculus (see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Multiscale calculus).

• Delete. If you click through the first external link and read the paper, it's basically been cut up and pasted in, making the article just a copy of the primary source. Show me someone using this mathematics and I'll show you a keep vote. ESkog 22:57, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

• I'm not sure about this one. This page is cross-linked in several other notable articles. Are the entries in those articles also by the same author? Or are those researched cross-links by other contributors? Operator calculus is perfectly valid, and this just appears to be a notational form of said calculus. — RJH 15:27, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
  • What links here shows that the only pages in the main space linking to theta calculus are calculus (disambiguation) (link added by Dirnstorfer), derivative security (link added (diff) by User:213.20.164.133, who has made no other contributions) and strategy (game theory) (written by Dirnstorfer).
