Q:

"derart, dass" in Mathematik

While reading mathematics in German, I came upon the phrase "derart, dass." Does this mean something along the lines of "such that," and if so, does it differ from "so, dass?"

A:

Yes, "derart, dass" means the same as "so dass", namely "such that". "So, dass" is more common, though. There is also "dergestalt, dass", which means the same, but is even rarer.
