Why are you not using normal letters to denote Rⁿ and N, Z or Q?

  They're using the typical symbols for denoting those sets, which are fancier than the symbols used for mere variables. One only resorts to using basic letters if the usual symbols aren't available. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_number https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_number

    Isn't it much more work to find those symbols and copy and paste them though?

      More work for the author, but nicer for the reader, and makes it more self-explanatory which sets are meant. The latter is what I cared about. Also, if you’re on desktop with a suitably configured Compose key, it’s actually simple to type (Compose I R for example), no need for copy&paste.
