    They don’t, they apply to all notations

    I love how confident you are about something you clearly have no knowledge of.
    Adorable.

    Well, you made a good effort. At least if we’re judging by word count.

        To a “maths teacher”

        Yeah sure
        A “teacher” who doesn’t know that all lessons are simplifications that get corrected at a higher level, and confidentiality refers to children’s textbook as an infallible source of college level information.

        A “teacher” incapable of differentiating between rules of a convention and the laws of mathematics.

        A “teacher” incapable of looking up information on notations of their own specialization, and synthesizing it into coherent response.

        Uh huh, sounds totally legit
