Just get the fucking black one <| sep |> a lot of sun out for a hurricane game <| sep |> Yes ? So even more jobs are created . <| sep |> Is that a strict 11 pm finish , or might there be some runovers like that 12 hour Double Dragon stream a few years ago ? <| sep |> Which you can discover because you already know this notation and know the entire reasoning behind it . If I ' m a beginner and see a snippet on , say , math . stackexchange . com , I ' m SOL . If you had read my post , you would notice that that is exactly the point I am making . Mathematics , due to its nature , requires you to know the definitions and the concepts that the concept you need depends upon , and there is no way to cut corners . With this particular formula though , it ' s very easy to see the logic behind it because it ' s simply a Lebesgue integral of a simple function . Mathematics would benefit from longer and more descriptive names , but in this particular case everything is either crystal clear , or not clear at all . Knowing the names for things won ' t give you much insight into their mathematical structure and meaning . Which goes on to describe notational inconsistencies . It would be bad enough if you had a ton of impossibletosearch notation to deal with , but there are a bunch of operators that are reused for vastly different purposes . No , the rest of the article is I didn ' t read about any of the shit I am complaining about . The bit about covariance , is , once again , caused by him not knowing the definition of expectation , and , at the very end of that bit , he displays his lack of understanding of what Wikipedia is . The bit about the notation for derivatives and differentials holds no value because while some notations are just shorthands for others introduced to reduce the clutter and make manipulation easier , the others aren ' t equivalent at all . On multiplication why even bring up elementary school ? And the vector product is perfectly reasonable , because it forms a Lie algebra together with vector addition . The scalar product , on the other hand , doesn ' t really fit into my understanding of multiplication , but still , it deserves to be denoted by a dot because it exhibits a lot of the properties normal multiplication exhibits . I can ' t say anything about the commutator notation , because the only notation for commutators I ' ve encountered is the standard g h . EDIT I would like to add that I think that we need a large database of mathematical concepts and their relations to make navigation easier , but that would be a huge task and would require a giant collaborative effort .
