At the request of @jiahao, I am trying to compile use cases for physics, chemistry and mathematics. | |
Chemistry | |
1. \Delta_vap*E_{m,b} is the molar energy of vaporization. [1, p. 55] | |
2. \eta_{inh} is the inherent viscosity - SI Unit m^3 kg ^-1 | |
3. Polymerization reactions require the need for the notation `P_x + P_y -> P_{x+y}` [1, p. 72] | |
4. Units for degree of crystallinity are `w_{c,h}` | |
5. Modulated smectic mesophases SmÃ, and SmC with a tilde, which can't be currently drawn. [1, p 112] | |
6. Anisotropy in general requires the squiggle tilde on top of the quantity being referred to, see [1,p. 114] | |
7. Stochiometric equations sometimes need to describe a molecule/atom as aqueous, with the "aq" subscript. | |
Physics: | |
1. Vectors are indicated by an arrow above, Second rank tensors use a double arrow, higher order tensors use the index notation. [2, p,3] | |
2. Neutrinos require the `\mu` and `\tau` subscripts [2, p.12] | |
3. Nuclear configuration notation require several fractions as subscripts [2, p.14] | |
4. The equals symbol with a tilde on top means 'corresponds to' | |
5. The circumflex accent ( hat vector) can mean maximum, or minimum value, depending on where it points, whilst the squiggle tilde is used for the rms value. [2, p. 51] | |
6. The universal constants of vacuum permittivity and permeability require a º symbol as a subscript. [2, p. 54] | |
7. The Kronecker delta \delta^i_j, Levi-Civita symbol \epsilon_ij | |
8. Special functions make extensive use of a a specified (n) derivative as superscript with respect to a parameter (m) usually denoted at the bottom. See Spherical Harmonics and functions with last names [4]. | |
Mathematics: | |
1. Limit, max, min, and `\Sigma`, supremum, infimum, Unions, Intersections, and Multiplication notation have subscripts to delimit the set under consideration, or process. | |
2. Derivatives up to order n (and not just 1-9), with the use of a parenthesis. | |
3. Partial derivatives `can be annotated as \delta_xx`, and second partial derivatives may have a subscripted index number, as well as an exponent of 2. | |
4. Specifying the neighbourhood of a topological ball - `B_\epsilon` | |
5. The negative infinity sign is used as a subscript for integrals | |
6. X with a caret (^) on top is used as an estimator of state X [3] | |
7. ...Almost half the notation index of [4] can't be expressed without super/subscripts. | |
8. The | bar when applied to a domain denotes with superscripts and subscripts the upper and lower bounds of evaluation - amongst many types of set restrictions. | |
9. In Integral Equations, a degenerate kernel requires a sum over an index j=1<=n with functions \phi_j(x) and \psi*_j(x). [4, p. 556] | |
