Re: Terminology for multiplicative equivalents of common additive concepts
e.g. 3 power-log 2 gives the range of values between between 3² = 3 ^ 2 = 9 and log₂3 = ₂√3 = 3 /_ 2 = 1.585. There is a slight difference between this suggestion and the three other this-or-that suggestions, which is that in the additive case of \(\pm\) the right operand is always one of the numbe...

Re: Terminology for multiplicative equivalents of common additive concepts
I'm not quite sure why I did this, but I wrote a post to my personal blog this morning, and only just now realized that it basically could have belonged on this thread, which lately has become less about moving from the additive tier to the multiplicative tier, but from any tier to a higher tier. It...

Re: Terminology for multiplicative equivalents of common additive concepts
Okay, one more. Piling on the crankery. And also extending something to the power tier that has already been extended from the additive tier to the multiplicative tier. Everyone knows about the plus-minus sign: ± But have you heard of the analogous times-over sign? ⋇ Unfortunately, this sign is actu...

WinCompose, for Mac
Any WinCompose users here who want to use the same approach on Mac are in luck, because I just did a thing that makes that possible: https://github.com/cmloegcmluin/compose2keybindings
Feedback welcome!

Re: Terminology for multiplicative equivalents of common additive concepts
I apologize because this post goes beyond the title of this topic: instead of extrapolating concepts from the additive operation tier to the multiplicative operation tier, I am here extrapolating them another tier higher yet, up to the power tier. Lambdas Lambdas are the power equivalent of deltas a...

Terminological and notational reform proposals for logarithms, powers, and roots
Intro The logarithm of a number x to the base y is conventionally written as: \large\hspace{64px} \log_y{x} This popular notation leaves much to be desired; instead of helping us see how logs relate to other simple operations — such as powers, roots, and division — it makes them seem mysterious and...

Re: How to install the Bravura font
Howdy Gary, I just retried my instructions from a few years back and it worked for me. I did need to do the enable Full Disk Access for packages_dispatcher step, though. I am on Big Sur, on an ancient 2014 Mac laptop, so it's a bit different than your setup. I did notice that inside my bravura-bravu...
