| Nov 7, 2012 at 22:16 | comment | added | c.p. | As it happens, I'd like to save space in a blackboard: so I would tend to contract words that frequently appear, as expansion as exp^n, etc. I just wanted to understand a pattern, in order to do it correctly. So, as far as I understand, there is no pattern, right? | |
