Here are some basic pointers:
In order to do any editing, you must be logged in.
If you look under MediaWiki FAQ, you get lots of instructions how to work with Rhea. Some important things are under item 4 in that manual.
If you want to do things like
$ \sum_{i=1}^\infty 1/i^2 = \frac{\pi^2}{6} $ here
then you should look a) at the "view source" button on this page and b) get acquainted with
Latex [1], a text-formatting program designed to write math stuff.
If you want to make a new page, all you need to do is to invent one. For example, let's say I want to make a page for further instructions how to deal with Rhea. I just type "double-left-square-bracket page with more instructions double-right-square-bracket", where of course I use the actual brackets. The effect is: I get a link (initially red) to a page that is the empty set. Once I click it, the link page with more instructions_MA453Fall2008walther turns blue and I am transferred to a newborn page of name as indicated.
