| ``Re: domain/region dilemma''

| I have decided to edit region in response to the post to which I am replying.
I have found no evidence of "region" being used to refer to a nonempty open connected subset of C^n, whereas the PM entry for "domain" claims that "domain" *is* used for this purpose. If anyone has any information about this, please let me know.
I appreciate all of this historical background Ray. I especially enjoy the timeline of what type of mathematics came into being when and how that has affected the vocabulary (which we have already discussed for order vs cardinality and domain vs region). I really think that PM needs encyclopedia entries on the history of mathematics that includes information such as provided in your most recent posts.
