Comment on How I imagine mathematicians...
Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 day agoI see multiplication in code, Cartesian product, multiplication, multiplication.
I might not count as a mathematician though. If the * was supposed to be convolution the a should have been cursive.

In latex if you are using * you better mean convolution

Yes (actually
\astthough?), but unless you’re a maniac in LaTeX latin letters referring to variables in a math environment are cursive (actually a math font I think). Therefore if I am reading a single sentence that may or may not have been made using TeX I tend towards not if variables are in a standard font.
