There are currently no real conventions for mathematical notation. Since a lot of math pages involve linear algebra, I propose the following: | There are currently no real conventions for mathematical notation. Since a lot of math pages involve linear algebra, I propose the following: | ||

: EDIT: This also means getting rid of bra-ket notation, by the way. They are used to denote quantum states in complex Hilbert spaces. We are not doing quantum physics here so let's stop pretending. | |||

== 2 or 3 digits == | |||
Giving two options for the number of digits isn't really useful if we want consistency... I just changed the [[15edo#Commas]] table's values to 3 digits because I had checked [[17edo#Commas]] and that table used 3 digits, but apparently that one was the exception, not the reverse? Would it make sense to use 3 digits everywhere? Of course it's not urgent, but I'd rather stick to one standard rather than two, so that at least when we're making decisions, they're not arbitrary or random. --[[User:Fredg999|Fredg999]] ([[User talk:Fredg999|talk]]) 02:25, 7 July 2023 (UTC) | |||
