== Mathematics == - Variables within text in italics ($ $). - Do not use the same variable name for different things. - Avoid sub- and superscripts. - Do not begin sentences with variable names. - Repeat the type of variable when using a variable, but be careful with the placing of the variable: The values are represented in a list of numbers L. => The values are represented in a list L of numbers. - Not every peace of math is an equation or formula. Maybe it is just a term. - Definitions, Theorems etc. - should be self-contained - usually contain an (implicit) "Given..." part followed by a "Then ..." part - should be put into context / introduced / explained. Do NOT just rephrase a complex formula in words, but explain the meaning. - Beautify: - Take care of the spacing, e.g.: +x (sign) versus + x (addition) - Take care of line breaks. - Do not use 'x' or \times as multiplication symbol. Use \cdot or just a space. - paratheses in different sizes: \left( \sum ... \right) - x_1 + x_2 + \cdots + x_n - x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n
