One I hate is sin^{2}(x) meaning "sine squared" and sin^{-1}(x) meaning "the inverse of the sine function".

- grumdan 7y agoA nicer, consistent interpretation would be to take sin^2(x) to mean sin(sin(x)) and keeping sin^{-1}(x) as an inverse.
- yummypaint 7y agoIdk why people dont just keep the exponents after the function as is already the general convention. Sin^{-1}(x)^2 Sin(x)^2 This one annoys me because it's so preventable.
