. . . and do Russians still do mathematics? I guess not, since there is no Cyrillic counterpart to the AMS extensions

Mathematics written in Arabic notation use Arabic-Indic numbers and Arabic letters and they can occur in superscripts and subscripts as well. Regards, Khaled -----Inline Attachment Follows-----
