Abstract

AbstractIn contrast to natural languages, mathematical notation is accepted as being exceptionally precise. It shall make mathematical statements unambiguous, it shall allow formal manipulation, it is model for programming languages, computer algebra systems and machine provers. However, what is traditional notation and is it indeed as precise as expected?We discuss some examples of notation which require caution. How are they adapted in computer algebra systems? Can we improve them somehow? What can we learn from functional programming? (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
