Also some fields have importanat quantities with simple names, and lots of literature using them in a standard way. For instance if you are solving for light intesity problems then I(angle) is the intensity of light at a given angle, and the clode is clearest if that is what you use. The ickyest thing is to have to figure out what a messy algebraic expression means when all the variables are twenty or thirty characters long). I'm sorry my brain can't fathon algebra with long variable names, but has no trouble with short ones. | |
