General conventions =================== *e* always represents the basis of natural logarithms. *i* always represents the imaginary constant. Do not use these letters to represent variables. Both *ln* and *log* mean the natural logarithm. *log_a* means log with base a. Decimals are represented using a dot "." . Separations are represented using a comma "," . When a letter is followed by an opening parenthesis, it is interpreted as *function of...* For example, *x(2y+3)* means *x* evaluated at *2y+3* If you want a multiplication instead, use x*(2y+3) or (2y+3)x. This helps differentiate variables and functions.
