I drew a stronger conclusion from this point on page 5.
13. Many readers will skim over formulas on their first reading of
your exposition. Therefore, your sentences should flow smoothly when
all but the simplest formulas are replaced by “blah” or some other
grunting noise.
My writing has benefited greatly by treating all mathematical
expressions within sentences as nouns regardless of their relational
operators. My version of the sentence would be "Noting that x < 5
holds, we infer a probability of no more than 0.1 for f(y) + x taking
values of 3 or more.".
- scott_s 7y agoI prefer your sentence to the more mathy one. But space constraints are real, and I could end up choosing the more mathy one because it's shorter.
