My favourite example of confusing notation that nobody seems to have fixed is conventional current flow being the wrong way around.
Admittedly, that's from physics, so we can't really blame mathematicians for it.
- adwn 5y agoThat's a bad example: first, it's a question of definition, not of notation. Second, it's defined pretty consistently within physics, and pretty consistently within electrical engineering (none of which is mathematics).
