RE: Curie, Steemstem, Steemiteducation, and Steemcleaner - A Dance With Fire and Ice
But you adjusted the articles after the comments of steemcleaners right? I think in this situation they have a point.
- For example all the pictures of this article are screenshots of the lecture notes https://steemit.com/mathematics/@sinbad989/a-gentle-introduction-to-mathematics-logical-equivalence
- Similar in this one https://steemit.com/mathematics/@sinbad989/a-gentle-introduction-to-mathematics-predicates-and-logical-connectives
- The examples in this one https://steemit.com/mathematics/@sinbad989/a-gentle-introduction-to-mathematics-implications are identical as in the lecture notes.
- The flowcharts in this post https://steemit.com/mathematics/@sinbad989/a-gentle-introduction-to-the-art-of-mathematics-algorithms are identical to the lecture notes
- If I start reading this post https://steemit.com/mathematics/@sinbad989/a-gentle-introduction-to-mathematics-elementary-number-theory it is completely unclear that it is based on the lecture notes. In addition all the number problems are the same
- Now if I look at part of the text in this post https://steemit.com/mathematics/@sinbad989/a-gentle-introduction-to-mathematics-predicates-and-logical-connectives you write Suppose I came up to you in a windowless room and make the statement: “The sun is shining but it’s raining!” You decide to investigate the veracity of my statements, and came up with four possible combinations of sunniness and/or precipitation. Fields writes * Suppose I come up to you in some window-less room and make the statement: "The sun is shining but it’s raining!" You decide to investigate my claim and determine its veracity. Upon reaching a room that has a view of the exterior there are four possible combinations of sunniness and/or precipitation that you may find. * This is almost identical. These posts seem strewn with these near identical things.
I think some self-reflection is in place here. You are also only giving half of the story here. So I suggest everyone to form their own opinion about this. Here are the lecture notes http://giam.southernct.edu/GIAM/GIAM.pdf
And on a final note. In this situation you are technically profiting in a way from the lecture notes. So maybe it would be appropriate to contact Prof. Fields about this. I would have very mixed feeling if somebody uses my lecture notes on the steemit platform.
I do admit my mistake in not properly acknowledging the author of the book. I thought it would be enough to just put it on the reference section.
I even linked the reference to the free pdf version of the book, hoping people would read it. It is a good book and I want people to know that. My sole intention was to direct people to that book, that's why i sometimes dont changed the wordings. I have no intention of concealing the fact that it was from Field's book.
I did add some disclaimer along the way, as one user suggested. I never thought of that.
Without the disclaimer your posts would fall in the plagiarised category. Do you agree?
For information on what is considered plagiarism see here https://www.steem.center/index.php?title=Plagiarism#Steemit.27s_policies_on_plagiarism
Note that for plagiarism intent does not play any role.
I agree I thought this would do the job.

By the way, the book is licensed under GNU.
(in plain english)
If you agree that without the disclaimer it is plagariasm (antecedent) then it logically follows that steemcleaners did their work (consequent). So there is no reason for this post.
That is great that it is GNU. In your first post https://steemit.com/steemstem/@sinbad989/a-gentle-introduction-to-mathematics-basic-sets you did not credit the author unless I am mistaken.
If you upvote me you are agreeing with me right? My opinion does not coincide with the opinion of your post. So either don't upvote me or change the contents of this post.
