That’s pretty clever; but how do you remember which side is divided by which?
Not his greatest work
i actually like this notation, i hate having to specify sin(θ)+y with parens but sin θ + y is ambiguous
Gauss also famously complained that sin² x should mean sin sin x and not (sin x)²
Why? I use that notation for logarithms and such too. Even for statistics operators like expectation, variance, bias, if any of those quantities are squared I write them with the operator, a 2 in the exponent, then the quantity I'm performing the operator on. It makes sense!
This notation is just more confusing. Signa, Gamma and Tau are used a lot in physics and this could bring more confusion. Moreover sin() and cos() are written as function, like f(x) or f(x, y, z). They are simply more familiar
They aren't always written with the parentheses though
I’m a huge fan of Feynman (go lectures of physics!) but I think his proposed notation sucks.
