Hi.gher. Space:Expression guidelines (page does not exist)
From Hi.gher. Space
To keep expressions consistent across all mathematical articles in HDDB, you should follow the following guidelines:
- Constants come at the front, with numerical constants first.
- 3a rather than a3, πa rather than aπ, 3πa rather than π3a.
- Constants which are fractional must be split into numerator and denominator. The numerator should be placed at the start, and the denominator at the end with an index of -1.
- 2a5-1 rather than 2/5a or 2a/5.
- Constants which are square roots must be placed at the end of a term, after the denominator if it exists.
- a√3 rather than √3a, a2-1√3 rather than a√3 2-1.
- Brackets always come in the middle.
- 2πa(b+c)5-1√3 rather than 2π(b+c)a5-1√3 or 2πa5-1√3(b+c).
