Oh yeah itās great. I have no problem writing āfā for a function, but ācosā is just silly, and if you donāt distinguish between x as a variable, x as a number, and x as a function, cos(x) is ambiguous. Making the functions consistently named f(x) and cos(x) added a lot of clarity to the text.
To be fair, it was a book on functional analysis, so it was a good thing to be careful about functional notation.
Let me tell you about my favorite piece of pedantic notation ever, in a book that used x for the identity function on the reals and Ī¾ for a particular value, so cos(x) always meant the cosine function and you had to write cos(Ī¾) to mean cosine of a number.
I realize Iām just saying what @kameryn.bsky.social@xl772.bsky.social already said. Sorry about that; Iām tired this Thursday afternoon. But I wanted to affirm that this is a helpful way to structure the process!
I describe these two steps in my head as āmarkingā and āscoring.ā The second goes smoothly and quickly if the first is done well. (And itās easier to mark well if Iām not worried about the score at that time!)
bluesky has a disproportionate number of good-looking professors
I guess my general advice today is that if you are a college professor not in Florida, you could still very well have students in your class who are. Consider those paper extensions please.
