| Nov 19, 2013 at 21:52 | comment | added | fairflow | On point 6, I often use (mat = matrixExpression)//MatrixForm which first evaluates matrixExpression and assigns it to mat and only then displays the result (i.e. mat) in MatrixForm | |

| Jan 26, 2013 at 4:19 | comment | added | Adam Dreaver | I've been using subscripted symbols for simple linear equations, like point slope, i.e (y_1 - y_0)=m(...); Solve[%,y_1]. It works ok; but there is definitely conflicts if I combine a symbol and subscripted version of that same symbol, i.e.( y - y_0)-m(...); Solve[%,y] causes conflicts for me. I guess this problem can become even more severe in more complex operations? Pitty, cause when I use pad and paper, I love mixing 'y' and 'y_0' /etc.. | |
