I do not think writing note about one symbol implying another is a sound idea. If you can write them with computer using some software you should write, otherwise not. I am not sure whether symbols of logic can be so written, though there must be some way of reproducing them on computer.
And, friends, do not so despair of writers, there have been and are some nice girls and guys who can write well and willingly so. -----Original Message----- From: AccessIndia [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Kartik Sawhney Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2012 8:22 PM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: Re: [AI] Complications with writers Hi, It actually depends what sort of formulae you want to write. For instance, if I talk about the formulae that I deal with (in Physics, Chemistry and Math), most of them can simply be written the same way as any other text. Wherever I find that the formulae cannot be written this way, I write it in an alternate manner and then, write a note stating that the particular alternate symbol that I've used implies the otherwise actual symbol. For instance, consider this simplest illustration. Consider two finite sets having four elements each. If I am to find the arithmetic mean of the intersection of the two elements, I will simply write it as: Let the two sets be A and B To find the mean of the intersection of sets A and B Let set C=A i B where i denotes intersection Arithmetic mean=mean of elements in set C Note that this usually works in most cases. I've also been able to manage calculus (both differential and integral), vector algebra, among other topics this way. I'm sorry I'm not particularly sure of the content beyond class XII Math and Science, and can't really give you a very detailed picture. BTW, there are also software packages such as Latex etc. that can enable you to achieve this. I'm talking about the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), and I will be taking the All India Senior School Certificate Examination (AISSCE) (class XII Board Examinations) next year.
