Childs perhaps then?
- carlob 6y agoGenerations of childs have ared geting themselfs
- galkk 6y agoChilds and mouses are very common words for non native speakers
- prof-dr-ir 6y agoOn the contrary! The manifesto suggests one specific improvement to mathematical notation whilst ignoring all the other issues, for example that Euler's Gamma(n) equals (n-1)! instead of n! or that df/dx is not a fraction. So in that spirit I think it might be better to only propose fixing the verb 'to be' and to leave the poor children out of this discussion.
